Ted Turner
Compares
Fox News
to Hitler
(A P )-C N N founder Ted Turner
has called the Fox television net­
work a “propaganda voice” o f the
Bush adm inistration and compared
Fox News C hannel’s popularity to
A dolf H itler’s rise in Germany be­
fore W orld W ar II.
Turner, in a speech Tuesday to
the National Association o f Televi­
sion Programming Executives, also
ta rg e te d “ g ig a n tic c o m p a n ie s
whose agenda goes beyond broad­
casting” for timidity in challenging
the Bush W hite House.
“T here’sone network. Fox. that’s
a propaganda voice for them,” the
cable news pioneer said. “It’s cer­
tainly legal. But it does pose prob­
lems for our dem ocracy when the
news is ‘dum bed-dow n.’”
Fox News in New York issued a
statement saying, “Ted is under­
standably bitter having lost his rat­
ings, his network and now his mind
-w e wish him well.”
Tum er, 66, stepped down as vice
chairman o f AOL Time W arner in
May 2003.
During a question-and-answ er
session moderated by form er CNN
anchorman Bernard Shaw, Turner
called it “not necessarily a bad
thing” that Fox ratings top CNN
and other cable news networks.
“ A dolf H itler was m ore popu­
lar in G erm any in the early '3 0 s
than ... people that w ere running
against him ," T urner said in re ­
m arks videotaped by conference
adm inistrators. “So ju st because
y o u ’re b ig g e r d o e s n 't m ean
y o u 're rig h t.”
C o n v e n tio n sp o k e sw o m a n
Michelle Mikoljak said the associa­
tion had no comment about Tum er’s
comments.
Turner heads an Atlanta-based
philanthropic andbusinessem pire.
