Koppel & Brown Deny Jennings Had Bias, Brown Tags Critics "Silly"

From the Media Research Center:

ABC's Ted Koppel and CNN's Aaron Brown on Monday night insisted that the late Peter Jennings displayed no bias in his reporting, and Brown even used a tribute to Jennings as a chance to slam "silly" critics who saw bias. "Peter was no ideologue of the left or the right," Koppel declared on Nightline. Earlier on MSNBC's Hardball Koppel had complained that "he was often and unfairly portrayed as being anti-Israeli." On CNN's NewsNight, Brown asserted: "I never once saw him look at a story, treat a story with anything other than complete fairness and demand the same from us. The silly little Web sites on the left and the right will spend days saying otherwise, but they are wrong."
