Ted Koppel and Cokie Roberts on moral principles

[edgardusXII]

People do easily crumble to bits. I think a small child would have held out much better with Mr. Helfeld.

[kmortensen]

Cokie crumble... LOL!

Never once did Ted Koppel do a program that related to the glass being half-full for blacks. The spin was nearly always to denigrate Caucasians ... and make it seem like blacks were constantly getting a raw deal in life due to "racist whites."

He did a two-day town-hall meeting to "explore" what happened to James Byrd, a good man. But didn't have a word to say about the hero Kris Kime getting his brains stomped into the asphalt due to dragging a Caucasian girl from a mob of murderous blacks!!

[guyNbluejeans]

Here are the names of a few dead Caucasians murdered by spoiled, brainwashed, racist blacks in recent years.

My contention is that they were partially killed on account of Koppel - and thousands(!) of other media libs that followed his cowardly example - for not being honest about complex matters of race in this country.

Kris Kime, Donald Farrell, Emily Rimel (5), Keven Shifflett (8), Kayla Rolland (6) Channon Christian, Daniel Ramsey, Keith Koster, Nancy Davis, Aaron Grexa, Conrad Hollis, x!!

[JohnAdamCulligan]

Well, that doesn't answer my question at all, but thanks anyway. As for the list you've provided, come on, it doesn't take a genius to run the names through a Google search and find credible sources on the stories. It's clear when one does that not all are black on white hate murders. Black on white murders, sure, but that doesn't establish the motive.

And even if the examples were legitimately hate crimes, you 'd still have a lot of work to put it before you could prove Ted Koppel...

[JohnAdamCulligan]

...'s journalism was even remotely linked to the trend. Get real.

[guyNbluejeans]

Hilarious; you have the temerity to tell me to "get real."

Your comments reveal you to be a dishonest and illogical sap. And while goodbye is too good a word, I just say fare thee well.

[JohnAdamCulligan]

Glad you can use a thesaurus, but if you really understood the meaning of the word "temerity" (hint: not the same as the word "nerve"), you wouldn't have so grossly misused it.

I am a "dishonest and illogical sap"? Boy, if those who knew you had a dime for every baseless assertion you made...

I tried to have a rational discussion, based on facts and evidence rather than mere contentions (as you would put it). That was a terrible mistake in judgment, for which I am sorry.

[JohnAdamCulligan]

Jan Helfeld's interviewing style is well-suited to the Youtube generation. Rather than using the Q&A format as a means of hearing what the interviewee has to say about the topic(s) in question, Mr. Helfeld simply rams home his over-simplified worldview - which is exactly how the sort of people who title interview videos in such ways as "Person X Owns Person Y" or "Person X Destroys Person Y" or more mildly "Person X vs. Person Y" think a proper interview should be conducted.

[minimum37]

what is wrong with this title?

[JohnAdamCulligan]

Nothing at all. My complaint concerns how Mr. Helfeld interviews, not how this video is titled.

[heyheymonkees]

How are these people even able to get a job with these kinds of attitudes. This woman gets paid??!!?

[jryan1971]

Cokie is a devout Catholic, so I don't understand why she would feel uncomfortable talking about moral principles.

[janhelfeld]

Probably insecurity produced by contradictory premises.

[heyheymonkees]

Actually, it's probably because she's devout catholic. Who needs rationalism when you have religion?

[AntiStalinist]

Why are the Libs so uncomfortable answering moral questions? Cookie can't believe Jan is motivated by the pursuit of truth and seems to assume he is one of 'those', a religious faither.

[matchbox555]

jan thinks like a computer

hes an utter retard

to him its either 1 or 0

01021010121

idiot

[matchbox555]

jan is retarded

[libertarianjury]

cokie = dolt

koppel = dolt with some integrity

[JohnAdamCulligan]

Is it not the case that statistics consistently show that White-on-Black violence still dwarfs Black-on-White?

[guyNbluejeans]

You're joking, right?

Kris Kime, Donald Farrell, Anne Pressley, Kayla Rolland (6 years old), Jennifer Ross, Jesssica Faulkner, Don McCullough, Diane Tilly, Darrrel Johnson, Conrad Hollis, Emily Rimel (5 years old), Angela Spain, Cody Holmes, Keith Koster, Christy Sanford, Morgan W. Young, Channon Christian.. the list is endless!

Too bad our "wonderful" president (who's on record saying he hates his "white blood") doesn't address this ongoing nightmare as he did that nothing Cambridge incident!

[gustavonarez]

It might be the tone of voice of Jan...

the tone of: "I'm gonna get ya..." lol

[guyNbluejeans]

Moral principles?? For over two-decades Koppel used his golden piehole to crap on Caucasians, he made Goebbles look like a piker!

He ran one Nightline show after another telling blacks that Caucasians were screwing them over 24/7! He ALWAYS put the spin out to denigrate Caucasians!!

But now here he is talking about moral principles! WHAT A JOKE!

[JimTL1000R]

i love reproters that refuse to answer the questions that other reporters want answered LOL talk about hypocrites.

[janhelfeld]

Tell your friends and media contacts.

[WOLF333999]

Please interview Obama, because I want to see that motherfucker crumble within five seconds. Watch out for his SS, though. Maybe put on a wig and a false beard, wear glasses, so you'll continue to live after that interview. To relax, interview Ron Paul.

[radiofriendly]

Awesome video - fun on many levels! And just plain surreal! - like "lil marcy" and "lil markie" (I dare you to look those up!)

[mikeaokeefe]

career criminal ron paul. ,2ndAsstJizzMopper are you a f**kin' moron?

[WhiteShark392]

Gotta love "watch cokie crumble" this guy's hilarious...the white borat

[JimTL1000R]

Nice to see journalism turened on them ! LOL

[Genowulf]

"watch Cokie crumble"

Hahaha! Well played Jan.

When are these interviews dated?

[TehBANN3D]

What did she say at the end? I thought I heard "I'm much too stupid to answer that question", but I can't be sure.

[kswiatlo]

Lets grill Ron Paul and Ralph Nader!

[Conza88]

Ron Paul is ungrillable :D

[TehBANN3D]

I'd like to see him answer this:

"Why is it acceptable to impose a governmental monopoly upon a group of people who have not consented to such a government?"

[Conza88]

Hah, yes I would like to see him answer that question aswell! I believe he is actually an anarcho-capitalist... but like everyone who is, you don't run on that platform.. because that would be insane. You campaign for more liberty, and the "Constitution" is an awesome soundbite; which is all you really get in these day and age in the media. If I ever meet him personally, thats what I want to know..

Spooner's position is pretty hard to argue against lol.

[2ndAsstJizzMopper]

"I'd like to see him answer this:"

nice to see at least one other person not hoodwinked by the career criminal ron paul.

[lukeev]

Jan Helfeld is a living legend.

[feeknocks]

i always get this feeling that your videos were filmed in the early 90s lol

[Moragauth]

Good looking guy but please lose the moustache!

[shroomingnewman]

no way! it makes him look more like john stossel!

[Moragauth]

Well I'd say the same of Stossel. :P

[Genowulf]

No wai! Stossel and Jan together would be like a real life Mario brothers! The moustaches must stay!
