Missing Ted Koppel

Unlike some Obama supporters, I don't pretend that any media coverage of him that's not 100% positive is some sort of Murdoch/Conrad Black/Karl Rove/ghost of George Wallace conspiracy. But the other night, ABC's Nightline ran probably the stupidest piece of so-called journalism I've ever seen, a completely idiotic Jake Tapper hit piece, "Obama's Top 10 Worst VP choices" - basically an excuse to trot out the names of Ayers, Wright, Rezko, etc., without actually having to any real reporting or analysis on issues that matter. Get the joke? Ayers should be Obama's running mate! Or Tony Rezko! You can start laughing now. Or crying.

I really wonder what Ted Koppel would say about this sort of garbage running on Nightline.
