Ted Turner Compares Fox News To Hitler
TED TURNER COMPARES FOXNEWS TO HITLER
Tue Jan 25 2005 15:53:55 ET
Ted Turner called FOX an arm of the Bush administration and compared FOXNEWS's popularity to Hitler's popular election to run Germany before WWII.
Turner made the controversial comments in Las Vegas before a standing-room-only crowd at the National Association for Television Programming Executives's opening session.
His no-nonsense, humorous approach during the one-hour Q&A generated frequent loud applause and laughter, BROADCASTING & CABLE reports.
While FOX may be the largest news network [and has overtaken Turner's CNN], it's not the best, Turner said.
He followed up by pointing out that Adolf 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."
In 1996, Turner apologized to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for comments he made comparing FOX head Rupert Murdoch to Hitler.

Can we say Sore Loser?
Fox is an arm for the Bush administration?
Fox News has been around for only 8 or 9 years in Cable syndication, President Bush has only been around for 4 years where he (Ted) draws that conclusion I have no clue.
Showing or reporting BOTH sides of a story GOOD and BAD, and letting the public decide is a bad thing? Unlike the Communist News Network (CNN) who only show "The Sky Is Falling" part of any story and we are suppose to accept that as fact without hearing the other side? !@#$#@!
But comparing them to hitler?
Then what can anyone expect coming from the man who married Jane (Hanoi) Fonda?
I think Fox News is owed an Apology!!
Drudge Has This One.

Ted Turner hates this country, and has for many years. He has sent millions to the support of the U.N.
So anything he has bad to say about Bush, can only be a good thing, if you can see where I'm coming from!
Can't you just see the "Hate" in his face?? He looks more like Hitler, when Hitler was raging, then Bush could ever look.
Does'nt he realize that he is only making himself look bad? I mean come on, these Sore Loser Demo-Commies have shown their true colors, and even more so with this last election.
