  4. I remember a 4 night series Ted did from South Africa in the mid 80s on apartheid. Outstanding, gave you a true picture of what was going. Journalism required both sides. I don't know if we appreciate what we lost. Now we have idiots shouting from their soap boxes, oblivious of the damage they're doing

  8. The news for a democratic society, or a society that may eventually become democratic, should have independent and public forms of news sources. In your twenty odd years at Nightline, did you ever educate Americans about who the leading intellectuals, historians, and the real truth tellers about our society were. Did you ever interview Noam Chomsky? Did you ever interview Howard Zinn? If you had the show today in the old format, would you have had someone like David Graeber on. Democracy Now, even though it could be better, and perhaps C-SPAN, are the best overall news sources we have, and one of the nice things about it that the corporate conglomerate mass-media news programs cannot do is to talk to an individual and to allow the indiviudal to educate and enlighten hundreds of thousands or millions at a time. This is what we deserately need now, but even on a higher level or quality and much more prevalent and common. If everyone in American understood the real history of our society and our goverment, not the history interperpreted, funneled, and filtered through corporate media, we would have much less problems than we do now and we would probably be living in a different and more humane kind of society.

  9. I respect Ted, and I was a big fan of Nightline during the 80s and 90s, but even then we were still dooped and controlled by the corporate elite which is a subject you just wont be told about on television in any real constructive, non-partisan, truthful way. A person does in fact has to go to the internet in order to seek out the real truth about our history and our society. If it wasn't for some of the real powerful sources of information that I can acquire from Youtube, I would be missing out on quite a bit. The fact that Mr. Koppel seems to be still protecting the media corporate establishment more than ever is disappointing and depressing. Ted, the general public would have more faith in the news media if large corproate interests didn't own the entire-mass media except for perhaps Democracy Now or NPR, but I am not even sure if those two are totally free from corporate interefence. The fact that you left that part out and that you also failed to mention that back in the day when news commentators were all kind of hard nose and crusty like Edward Morrow, David Brinkley, Frank Reynolds, or Walter Cronkite, the news divisions within the single television company, like ABC, were independent and autonomous. Every American should see the movie Network, and you can get a good sense of what television and our society is about. Even though there is a lot of junk or low quality information on the internet, the one little bright spot is the comment section on Youtube where a conerned citizen who does have information that needs to be told on a particular subject could use this space to try to inform someone. I am sure the creators of Youtube, just like the creators of Twitter or most social media, only meant communication to be expressed in little one or two sentences or perhaps just a phrase or a couple of words, but I am hoping that someone brave will try to create something similar but that just focuses on the educational and intellectual stuff and that promotes individual citizens like me to write long paragraphs or short essays for the purpose of debate, discussion, creation, and eventually, perhaps, become part of the mainstream dialogue and eventually be constructed into serious critical thought, planning, and perhaps even public policy. Wouldn't that be grand?

  12. Speaking of the Iran Hostage crisis, 2 ordinary Canadians have been held hostage by Communist China to protect the secrets of Huawei corruption for 600 days. Nobody in America ever talks about this?

  13. Gotta Love Ted Koppel, He IS Nightline and I'm SO glad to hear his voice again
    God Bless You Mr. Koppel and We Love You and God Bless You JuJu Chang and Thank You for this AWESOME Interview
    and yes, we need more reliable incredible journalism

  14. Propagandist. Ted Koppel has helped caused more destruction in the world leveraging his career than any other journalist alive.

  22. Does the interview on webcam to avoid gathering people….. gather cameras crews to record the people on the webcams. Smh

  23. To touch on COPD, my grandmother died from COPD 4 months ago (smoked most of her life). Had she still been alive and still been living at her house and had one of my cousins (or one of their kids) caught the coronavirus, that would be it for her.
