I don't watch either of them, however from the stories I've read, I don't think Hannity is particularly concerned about the truth, but acts more like a provocateur. Like Hannity, I can easily imagine Koppel has his biases, like we all do. And, they both will justify what they say based on believing they are essentially right. Where I imagine there being a difference is that Koppel may be more open to receiving feedback, at least from his colleagues, regarding his biases, than Hannity. Probably, because they both see their functions as being different: Koppel reporting the news based on reliable sources, whereas Hannity being the provocateur and bomb thrower.

"POTUS. spending weekend working at the White House."

Bwahahahahahahahahahas!!!  

Desultory Donny is such a slacker that Fox considers it so important that they have to issue a news alert to let everyone know that Trump is actually in the White House for a change and is actually working for a change.

what Trump's schedule was during the campaign? Specifically the last months? 3 or more stops a day. 7 days a week non-stop.
You think he's lazy?  

Let's look at the 100's and 100's of parties Obama through while at the White house. Most not reports to the public. Yeah he worked a lot...

When Supreme Court upheld the ACA and Chief Justice upheld the individual mandate as a tax, FOX Pews was still reporting "The Supreme Court has ruled that the individual mandate is unconstitutional".    It took them till late afternoon and a couple of hits on their head to say the law has been upheld.

,although I would phrase things less assertively. Hannity has been bad for America. He has been dishonest. He’s distorted the facts and his advocacy for his views are rarely fair and balanced. The same can be said (to one degree or another) for virtually all opinion based political journalism. Guys like Hannity and others on MSNBC as well are near the end of their respective spectrums.  

The problem with Koppel is twofold.  
1) He doesn’t think that opinion based journalism of the magnitude exemplified by Hannity and others have any positive value (or at least not enough to justify their existence).
2) He would never admit that elements of his form of opinion based coverage (such as this Hannity interview) is also bad for America, not totally bad but is bad to a degree. There’s no doubt in my mind that his editing job also distorted what Hannity says and does both during this interview and otherwise.

I’m not 100% sure about Koppel but there’s a chance he may not even realize his own bias but if he does, he thinks he’s justified because he thinks he’s correct (just as Hannity does). Koppel is probably less biased than Hannity but at least Hannity admits it.

I don't watch either of them, however from the stories I've read, I don't think Hannity is particularly concerned about the truth, but acts more like a provocateur. Like Hannity, I can easily imagine Koppel has his biases, like we all do. And, they both will justify what they say based on believing they are essentially right.

You don't watch either of them but you have a much more favorable viewpoint of the one that agrees with you? The stories you've read were most likely written by people that agree with you and Koppel

Ted Koppel?

Isn't that the guy from The Love Boat?

So you admit Obama LIED about it not being a Tax?  We knew it was a tax. But he lied and lied and lied and lied and lied about it.  Oh yeah, and it'll save everyone 2500 dollars...,  you can keep your doctor....
