Stuck in a Rut, Ted?
Ted Turner threw a temper tantrum compared Fox News's popularity to Hitler's election prior to World War II.
But this also shows a scary fixation Ted has. Back in 1996, he had to apologize (although I'm not sure why the apology was given to the ADL and not to Mr. Murdoch) for comparing Rupert Murdoch to Adolf Hitler.
Man, you make enough money. Get your thorazine prescription refilled.
While FOX may be the largest news network [and has overtaken Turner's CNN], it's not the best, Turner said.Here was FoxNews' response:
He followed up by pointing out that Adolph Hitler got the most votes when he was elected to run Germany prior to WWII. He said the network is the propaganda tool for the Bush Administration.
"There's nothing wrong with that. It's certainly legal. But it does pose problems for our democracy. Particularly when the news is dumbed down," leaving voters without critical information on politics and world events and overloaded with fluff," he said.
A FOXNEWS spokesperson responded: "Ted is understandably bitter having lost his ratings, his network and now his mind -- we wish him well."This sounds like nothing more than sour grapes. It must be difficult for him. I mean, he had to sit there and watch his baby, the propoganda that is CNN, fall by the wayside once FoxNews began showing the world what "fair and balanced" really means.
