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."

************************************


*polls show otherwise. The fact that this
bull**** received applause is proof of liberal
bias in the press.

**Hitler never received more than 36% of
the popular vote. This is another example
of how the liberal press manipulated the
facts to support his case--exactly what he
seems to be accusing FOX News of.

***If one network presents fair and balanced
news, while every other network shows a
liberal bias, how does this make Fox a
propaganda tool? Is it rather every other
network and the printed press is a propaganda
tool for the liberals?

****Fox News presents information not found on
liberal networks, which routinely attack any
non-liberal viewpoint. Fox News verifies
before publishing, and promotes debate
between both sides.

So lemme understand this: Someone tells the truth and Fox says he's
"losing his mind". Does that about sum it up?

The poor man has lost his market share and then
his mind.

Here is your proof:

Note the specific refernence questioning the rationality of the other
networks.

FoxNews: 54.2 percent;
CNN: 29.2 percent;
CNN Headline News: 8.5 percent;
MSNBC: 8.1 percent. "Never before has MSNBC [placed] fourth."

For years, surveys have shown the country has more
conservatives than liberals, and there are almost an even
number of Republican and Democrat voters.

Does it make economic sense to have four left-leaning
(five if you count MSNBC separate from NBC) TV news
organizations, and only one right-leaning?

People go to FOX, not because it's perfect, it's not, but
because the rest of the news is strongly liberaly bias. If
you are intelligent, you vote with your feet and seek news
from the most reliable source. In the US it's FOX News
and the Wall Street Journal.

I dunno about economics. It's ok with me if we have any number of
honest news stations. Over and above that, if you wackos want to have a
right-wing propaganda organ, go ahead. Just don't pretend that it's
"news" or that it's "fair and balanced." Fox makes Pravda look like a
bastion of responsible journalism.

People go to Fox for the same reason that working class people vote
Republican: they're stupid or they're fanatical ideologues.

You can tell this Big Lie (liberal bias) as often as you want; but the
reality is that most news organizations try to be honest and fair. Fox
sells propaganda and outright lies and calls itself "fair" when it is
anything but. It is a propaganda organ. The others are news
organizations. There's a difference.

Thanks for the laugh. Of course you dont' realy believe all that.

Au contraire, mon vieux.

What amazes me is that you can post that you have "proof" of something
provided by Drudge, Huffington, and the Cato Institute; but you'd
obviously scorn someone who'd riposte with Michael Moore, Al Franken,
and an opinion piece from the American Communist Workers' Party.

And you'd fail to see the irony of your position. Amazing. Mais jamais
de ma vie!

He was blathering on the news this morning on the radio on my way to
work...sounded like he was about one winding sheet away from the padded
cell...
