One of our finest journalists leaving TV

Sad to read Ted Koppel is leaving ABC's "Nightline" in December. I have watched that news show since the very beginning and looked forward to it every night after my own local news. One of the finest produced news shows around, especially because of the integrity of Koppel. We are losing journalists from the generation that reported news...not make it up for ratings or because the top brass bowed down to the White House.
Tom Brokaw, Dan Rather (he was taken out by the neo-cons over Bush deserter story) are gone, and now my favorite...Ted Koppel is leaving. We are going to be stuck with a lot of so-called journalists who will be telling the news the way they are told to tell it.
Ted Koppel was fair and as balanced in his reporting as anyone could be, and had integrity...I have always trusted him. He is the model future journalists should strive to be like.
Now, I wish him the best and hope the best for us all...without his likes in the newsroom.
