What's your point? Is this relevant to the OP?

What's your point? Is this relevant to the OP?

In your OP you said that "This is no right wing hack talking," and you are correct. I added the second video to show that his criticism of today's media is balanced. Ted Koppel is right in what he says, today's reporting is more opinionated and biased than it was in the past. But you will notice in the clip you provided Mr. Koppel simply says the media is against Trump, he doesn't say that their reporting about him isn't true, in fact he says that "most of us (The establishment media? Most Americans?) believe that the President is an absolute fiasco" and there may be some justification in the liberal media's perception that President Trump is bad for America.

Yes, there is some truth to Ted's remarks. However, it still seems very unwise to call the press an enemy of the people.

If they skew the news to fit their narrative, then yes, they are an enemy to the people.

Does that apply to everybody?

The media only seem biassed because we live "in interesting times", to use that Chinese expression.

Don't our politicians do the same thing?
