Spoken in context, communism/socialism never had a better friend. And taking Ted to task, his vision of democracy is based on a strict adherence to minority rule. His.
CNN--is that thing still on?
Just to remind us of HOW DUMB he really is, he gave the UN crooks a billion dollars to add to all the money they stole from the children in Iraq. What an offensive, bitter jerk!
Barely.
CNN: The network that covered up Saddam's rape rooms and torture chambers, refused to report it b/c they might lose "access" to their favorite tyrant.
It's just 'ol Ted throwing a hissy fit 'cuz his ratings are headding south.
Headding south - get it.........
Sorry.
"America is turning to Fox because the MSM is a danger to democracy."
I used to tune into the MSM for opposition opinion. No more. After the scandals at CNN, NYT, and CBS, odds are that whatever I'm watching is fiction. Waste of my time.

Among the other Turner highlights from Tuesday:
* On Fox News: 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 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.
* On TV news in general: "We need to be very well informed. We need to know what's going on in the world. "a little less Hollywood news and a little more hard news would probably be good for our society."
* On media consolidation:"The consolidation has made it almost impossible for an independent. It's virtually impossible to start a cable network." Broadcasters and programmers "don't want more independent voices out there. They own everything. That's why I went into the restaurant business. Either that or I'd work for a salary for one of the big jerks.
* The war in Iraq: "We've spent 200 billion destroying Iraq. Now we've got to spend 200 billion to rebuild it, if they'll let us -- and all to find a nut in a fox hole -- one guy," Turner said. "He posed no threat to any of his neighbors, particularly with us there with overwhelming military superiority." --"it is obscene and stupid"
* Why selling his company to Time Warner turned out to be a huge mistake: At the time he agreed to sell his company, "it was from a business standpoint the right thing to do." He owned 9 percent of the merged company, which "which got me some real serious respect." But after the company acquired AOL, Turner's stake in the new company was diluted to 3 percent. "Then I got the pink slip"
* Why it wasn't that huge a mistake: "I have a responsibility not to be too critical of my old company. It is a good company and I had a lot of experiences there. A lot of time things that are painful at the time they occurred turn out to be for the best."
* Ted Turner for President? "I'm too old and too burned out to take on that responsibility. I thought about it when I was younger. I don't know if I could have gotten elected or not. It would have been a lot of fun to do when I had higher energy levels."
* What he'll put on his tombstone: "I have nothing more to say."
If pressed he would tell you that only the unwashed, inbred, would watch such claptrap as he was getting on his private jet to pay a visit to his pal Fidel.
We often decry the rich athletes for being spoiled brats.
Look at the class with which every last Steeler accepted defeat Sunday compared to this liberal blowhard.
Par for the course for a liberal, damn the facts, listen to how I FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!
It's so much fun to watch these nut cases make total fools out of themselves! Is he serious!
In the '80's every loser was making tons of money. It was easy. I knew someone who failed as an Amway salesman who made a bundle selling second mortgages.
Turned could not fail with CNN.
Of course, it all fell apart later, but they had some good years.
Hmmm...
"He said the network [FOX] is the propaganda tool for the Bush Administration. "There's nothing wrong with that. It's certainly legal."
Sounds as if he's floating an idea to an audience of Program Directors to see if it might offer some traction as a blanket MSM defense, now that ALL of them have been caught by the new media in undeniable bias. Premptive strike, IMHO.
Ted may be LL, but he is NOT stupid.
(30 years in Atlanta, GA)
But he is a rich athlete spoiled brat. I recall he was an olympic sailor, probably in the Flying Dutchman, one of the most technically demanding racing boats ever. He was also top in One Ton boats and tried his hand on 12-Meters. Too bad he could not keep to his medications.
Ted, do us all a favor. Go commit suicide like your old man, you demented old fool!
HA! Great comeback!
Kuwait might argue that point. Turner long ago became irrelevant.
