Lib media allergic to American values

CNN founder Ted Turner opened his mouth this week at the National Press Club, and promptly demonstrated why America needs Fox News Channel now more than ever.

Three years after the invasion of Iraq, Turner is still pouting about public displays of patriotism on American airwaves: "I mean, I just really wonder during the, during the last war, you know, what business did it have in the news sets to have the American flag flying in the background. Uh, I mean, it was like the news media covered the Iraq war, at least at the beginning of it, almost as like it was a football game with us versus them."

Funny, I can't recall Turner getting his undergarments in a bunch when CNN chose Saddam Hussein's side and former CNN executive Eason Jordan admitted the global news network had withheld reporting on Baathist atrocities in exchange for inside access and protection of its Baghdad staff. Recall Jordan's confession published in The New York Times after America toppled Saddam's regime in April 2003:

Turner would far prefer UN flags. That's where his allegiance lies.

Funny how the people who profit most from American consumers are the least patriotic and often treasonous.

It's a measure of their contempt for humanity.

Ted, you lost all, if any, credibility that you had when you married:

(Notice I included John Scary for added measure in my point.)

Fonda and Kerry, speaking bullshit to power and getting applauded for it.
