...and I guess lying for 12 years to retain access in Baghdad is better? Go kiss Fidel again, Ted.

[retrokitten]

Here, Ted. Dry your angry, jealous tears...

[Search4Truth]

Sour grapes rant BUMP.

[Abynormal]

And someone was actually interested in getting Ted's opinion on anything?

[hapy]

boy rich liberals are such babies!

Fox is my number one news show, so Teddy go over to DU
and cry with them

These guys really are having a hard time being powerless.
christ were we this angry and mean when they were in charge?

[skinkinthegrass]

Concur... :)

[Tall_Texan]

The left just can't stop wetting their pants over Fox News' success.

[anniegetyourgun]

Yep...while Ted thinks Rupert is a 'warmonger', the rest of us know that Ted's network was paying for access, submitting to censorship, and furthering the reign of torture, maiming, and murder of Iraqis and others. Ted's the one with blood on his hands.

[Hugin]

This guys sold his network to Time/Warner to create the largest media conglomerate in the world, then complains the media ownership is too concentrated.

The left just can't stop wetting their pants over Fox News' success.

They can't stop wetting their pants over the fact that we, the people of the United States, don't have them as gatekeepers anymore.

Ted Turner and Hanoi Jane, has-beens, never-wuzzes, Commie liberal/leftist slimeball Stalinist. They both should be hung for treason. Her for what she did to our POWs in Nam at the hilton and him for marrying the bitch.

[hgro]

Mr. Hanoi Jane Turner needs to go to commie country, where he will feel more at home.

Exactly how do you "mong" war? There can be arguments for and against taking up arms, all of which can be stated objectively and rationally, if not always defensibly. If the facts in favor of going to war outweigh the opposing view, then the conclusion of the debate should be accepted, and preparations made accordingly. If the case cannot be made for going to war, then other means of conflict resolution should be applied. Unending conflict is just too destabilizing, because of all the other ways it spills over. Peace and freedom are the outcome of conflict resolution, but the failure to resolve the differences inevitably destroy all chance for either peace or freedom.

After what happened to his AOLTW stock it might not be the best of ideas for Ted to give away money to the UN...

[Mister Baredog]

"It's not how big you are, it's how good you are that really counts,"

An obvious referral to Ted's Tiny Dick

[ibbryn]

At one time Ted owned more US land than any other citizen alive. Anyone know if this is still true?

I also hear he's taken back his 1 bill pledge since his fortunes have shrunk.

Just to note, well before CNN became a part of Time Warner, it was noted that Saddam Hussein's favorite news station was CNN (castro also said this), and as a result in the first gulf war, they were given favorable coverage and special treatment (the HBO movie was total bull, even according to people that worked at CNN).

[zerosix]

I'm having a difficult time trying to put Ted's comments into the proper perspective:
CNN lied, distorted and skewed their "reporting" from Iraq, and in the end has lost viewers/money.
FOX News gives honest reporting and their commentators wear American flags and root for Saddam's evil regime to lose, and in the end gain viewers/money.

Turner to audience - "Murdoch is a pro-American warmonger."
Turner/CNN supports a despotic leader and murderous regime.

Does that make Turner/CNN "Anti-American Despot-supporting, Peacemongers?"

That's what I was thinking.
