Ted Turner’s Crazy

Maybe you knew that already or something, but I haven’t had much experience with him.

Anyway:

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.

…

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.

But, Bush got the most votes, too. So, what are you saying?

In 1996, Turner apologized to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) for comments he made comparing FOX head Rupert Murdoch to Hitler.

Why didn’t he learn already? It is inappropriate to throw Hitler into it like that.

FOX’s response was great.

A FOXNEWS spokesperson responded: “Ted is understandably bitter having lost his ratings, his network and now his mind — we wish him well.”

LOL.
