Bill O’Reilly took exception with Ted Koppel’s column in the Washington Post. Koppel wrote , “We live now in a cable news universe that celebrates the opinions of Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly — individuals who hold up the twin pillars of political partisanship…” The former ABC news anchor also wrote that with the success of cable news “We celebrate truth as a virtue but only in the abstract.”
Henican told O’Reilly he understood where Koppel was coming from because “No one gives up a monopoly willingly” but didn’t quite agree with everything the former Nightline host wrote. Much to O’Reilly’s surprise, Ellis went on to say that “Koppel’s wrong.”
