The part that stood out;  WAY out;  for me in Keith Olbermann’s reply to Koppel via his “Comment” segment: 

Fourteen consecutive months of nightly half-hours on the travesty and tragedy of 52 hostages in Irahn, but the utter falsehood and dishonesty of the process by which this country was committed to the wrong war, by which this country was committed to dishonesty, by which this country was committed to torture — about that Mr. Koppel, and everybody else in the dead "objective" television news business he so laments, about that Mr. Koppel could not be bothered to speak out. Where were they?

Worshiping before the false god of utter objectivity. The bitter irony that must some day occur to Mr. Koppel and the others of his time was that their choice to not look too deeply into Iraq, before or after it began, was itself just as evaluative, just as analytically-based, just as subjective as anything I say or do here each night.

I had completely forgotten about Nightline,  and thus never noticed that glaring omission.  What bothers me is that the “Nightline crew” knew of the doubts and the questions; they HAD TO.  And yet,  nothing.  And still,  Koppel has the gall to lecture Olbermann on how this “balance” and “objectivity” is somehow serving this country?  They FAILED the country (their only defense,  if it’s a defense at all),  is that practically the whole press did.  I was reading books about it,  so I don’t remember where anyone was talking about it on TV,  but Keith claims it was being  done on MSNBC.
