Ted Koppel, a longtime journalist, slammed cable news stations for their wall-to-wall coverage of President Donald Trump, also noting how the stations are benefitting financially.
During a National Press Club discussion on Oct. 1, Koppel, 78, a former 25-year anchor on ABC’s “Nightline,” referenced how a number of media executives have admitted publicly that Trump is good for ratings, as his supporters and detractors like to tune in to see what’s happening. “Money, money ... Donald Trump has been wonderful for the industry,” Koppel said.
