I enjoyed watching Ted Koppel take down Bill O'Reilly on his own show.

Yep, last night, Bill O'Reilly made the mistake of inviting Ted Koppel to argue with him over the problems of modern journalism and politics. Koppel righteously nailed Bill big time. Ted said something like, "for the last 20 years, you (Bill and other talking head commentators) have destroyed legitimate journalism" and also blamed the recent lack of civilized discourse in politics on Bill and Rush and those guys. Bill had no response to this drubbing. I wish I had recorded it so that I could give you guys exact quotes.

Heh. Here's a youtube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTVNzVrz63Y

The Koppel segment starts 10 minutes in, and its 7 minutes long
"All that is necessary for tyranny to succeed is for good men to do nothing." (unknown)

James Tracy: "There is sometimes an undue amount of paranoia among some conspiracy researchers that can contribute to flawed observations and analysis."

Gary Cornwell (Dept. Chief Counsel HSCA): "A fact merely marks the point at which we have agreed to let investigation cease."

Alan Ford: "Just because you believe it, that doesn't make it so."

Yeah, but it was still fun to watch.
