Turner Compares Fox's Popularity to Hitler
Source: Broadcasting and Cable Ted Turner called Fox a propaganda tool of the Bush administration and indirectly compared Fox News Channel's popularity to Adolf Hitler's popular election to run Germany before World War II.
Turner made those fiery comments in his first address at the National Association for Television Programming Executives' conference since he was ousted from Time Warner Inc. five years ago.
His no-nonsense, sometimes humorous, approach during the one-hour Q&A generated frequent loud applause and laughter.
Fox wasn't laughing, however. "Ted is understandably bitter having lost his ratings, his network, and now his mind," said a Fox News spokesperson. "We wish him well." MORE
My comment on this: FNC's response could be called "what a republican would say." Surprised FNC didn't say Turner needed some prozac! They don't call Turner the loudmouth of the South for nothing. Way to go Ted, CNN PR needs your spunk!
