Journalism legend Ted Koppel mocked CNN’s Brian Stelter to his face on Monday, telling the “Reliable Sources” host that “CNN’s ratings would be in the toilet without Donald Trump.”

While on stage for a National Press Club panel discussion, Koppel attempted to make a point that many media executives admit Trump is good for ratings, as viewers on both sides of the aisle tune in to see the round-the-clock drama unfold.

Stelter responded by asking, “That means what? If ratings are up, that means what?”

Koppel – who anchored ABC News’ “Nightline” for 25 years and has been a working journalist for over four decades -- quickly answered.

“The ratings are up, it means you can’t do without Donald Trump. You would be lost without Donald Trump,” Koppel said as Stelter shook his head in disagreement.

“CNN’s ratings would be in the TOILET without Donald Trump,” Koppel said as the audience laughed.

........................ “Reliable Sources”, ....... not sure what that is, but definitely ironic & funny.

That just tells you what a freakshow the White House is now. So proud.

I honestly don't understand why people find the Trump-loving and the Trump-hating so interesting. I don't get the appeal. I got a cable TV package for fall so I could watch football where you get to pick your 10 channels and I had a hard time filling out the 10 because there's so little on but despite the fact that I could basically get CNN, MSNBC and Fox News for free (since I'm already paying for the package anyway) I didn't get any of them. Why do people watch that stuff?

Trump was elected because MSNBC and CNN loved him in 2015 and the first half of 2016. He drove ratings. They gave him the free airtime.

Lots of U.S. citizens are interested in domestic politics but there is more happening in the world besides the Trump channel.
