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 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.

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

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

I luv this response from FOX. CNN & Turner just suck. He's crazy!

What do you expect from a guy who married Jane Fonda?

He's pouting publicly. Nice pic.

Turner needs a history lesson, Hitler was never “popularly elected” to rule Germany.....

Vegas! You sick f#$k! And in front of a crowd! Have you no self respect man?

Yes, I know Dennis. My only defense is that Vegas is in the business of taking peoples money, and we never lose. So who better to take it from than Ted Turner/CNN nuts!

P.S. I was expecting to get flamed on this one!

I think Dennis was saying that Turner made the comment while in Las Vegas... in Las Vegas... get it? In Vegas, like the anal kind of in... the most unnatural kind of in. The kind of in that SUVGuy is on the receiving end of several times an hour at the reststop where he works.

Balmerlow is one of SUVguy's most frequent visitors.

Friends --

Time has passed Turner by. Trouble is, he doesn't realize it. That's why he's so pathetic.

George

Fox's response is awesome. I need to turn it on and see how they are treating it. Ted needed alittle bitch slap.

He doesn't need a bitch slap. A good pounding might make him look less dead.

Until I saw the post, I forgot who Teddy was. He is so irrelevant. Who really cares what he thinks? Ted, your 15 minutes are up, sit back down!

You know he doesn't get any of this from Hanoi Jane:

LMAO Yes DRTY. I GOT it. I was defending Vegas. Glad you're back. Been hunting wabbits or planning the Dennis retalliation?

If DRTY goes to Moab.....Yes....I fear retaliation.

Vegas, are you going?

Never been Dennis but I'm sure thinking about it. Just to meet you guys if nothing else. Sounds like fun depending on the severity of DRTY's retaliation.

Hey...another 6641 posts and I'll be up with the Divine One! I'm learning how to pad from him.

If there's any retaliation it might come on the trip down with Dennis. When we meet up in eastern Oregon to caravan down I might tell the skinheads in Idaho that he's got a special Vietnamese Spinning F*ck Chair and he's not afraid to ride it like a filthy drunken Britney Spears... except in the other hole.

Ouuuu eeeeee ouchhhh. If this is just a sample MOAB should be interesting..and fun. Hey, 250 DRTY...you better get moving.
