Ted Koppel and Cokie Roberts on moral principles

Koppel is unaware that he intentionally violates his moral principles. He is unaware that if you take an action that violates your principle, and you know that it violates your principle but you take the action anyway, this constitutes an intentional violation of your principle. Cokie is worse, she won't even answer questions. Watch Cokie crumble.

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.

[janhelfeld]

Tell your friends and media contacts.

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!

Jan Helfeld is a living legend.

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

[kmortensen]

Cokie crumble... LOL!

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

[minimum37]

what is wrong with this title?

[guyNbluejeans]

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!!

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.

[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]

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

[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...
