Ted Turner Talks About Old Pal Lou Dobbs Going To Fox Business…With Fox Business

Ted Turner has a wide range of interests, so it’s fitting that his conversation with Brian Sullivan was wide-ranging. After discussing solar power, job growth, and the gold standard, he touched upon his former CNN employee and “good friend” Lou Dobbs, who recently signed with Fox Business. He had mainly good things to say, though did acknowledge that Dobbs “was a little over the top on the immigration issue while in his last days [at CNN].”

Wondering why “at CNN” is bracketed? Well, I’ll tell you anyway: Turner momentarily forgot which network Dobbs last worked for. This may seem odd (Turner, of course, founded CNN), but it’s a testament to the revolving door of cable news. As Turner said himself, “It’s hard to keep the players all straight with free agency.”

Watch the media mogul offer his thoughts on a diverse host of topics in the Fox Business clip below.

Keeping in mind Turner thought it was a good idea to marry Jane Fonda .

At least he’s not Murdoch.

No skyfet, Murdoch would never have said, as Teetotalin’ Ted did in 1996 when Fox came on as 24/7 competition to then monopoly CNN, “We’ll crush Fox like a bug.”

See, Murdoch has class, compared with Fonda-marrying clown Turner, who by the way was 1000% wrong on his prediction as well as silly to say that “bug” line in the first place.

Then again, what would you know about class?

This is a parody in itself, you claiming Murdoch has class. Right, have you seen his newspaper (the sun) in the UK. Before your Uncle Rupert came along, they never had page 3, and that’s just one of the lowest things he’s done. You don’t know him, nor his business. He’s for the money, you Jokers think he’s conservative, well maybe in money but not morally. Don’t be a sheeple and check your stuff out before talking.

The nice thing about the Sun is that it is far cheaper than Playboy. Otherwise, about the same.

As for check, the only thing the Sheeple check is their brains at the converter box when they turn on FOX “News”.

I try not to take sides, but am amazed at the strong phony feelings and huge lack of knowledge on some of those who claim to be on the right. Its like a real life parody, watching how they really take what comes out of Fox news seriously, it’s like New York post in motion (especially the breakfast). In the end they’d claim that because it has the highest ratting must prove its the best thing ever, well to Murdoch and the GOP it is, but you can’t base you fact from there, just like a reasonable human being would cross check their information properly before taking a news story from New York post or the sun seriously.

What’s truly amazing to me is the number of Murdoch worshippers who have no idea of the sleazy, crappy products he produces AND the number of Murdoch worshippers willing to accept the sleaze and crap because Murdoch reaffirms their beliefs at some level. But, then again, we saw this in the political sphere with a number of candidates. The most clear cut example is the re-election of David Vitter. By a large majority. You’d be hard-pressed to find a more loathsome, sleazier creep in American politics today. Yet, a larger number of his voters never seem to have heard the stories of missing votes to frequent whore houses or of the diaper and poop fetish. An even larger number knew of the whore houses, diapers and poop, but still voted for him. Amorality is running amok in American politics. In American cable “news” viewing as well.

Today I saw One of the ugliest beat up cars you can see on the road with a Lady well weighing over 300 lbs with at least four kids jumping around trying to influence me with a bumper sticker that said ” turn off fox news ”

It reminded me who these people are who hate Fox news so much…. they are the ones that dont want the jobs because they were born into this horrible cycle of welfare and entitlement programs. They dont want other point of views or different thought processes. They are very angry and villainies the wealthy for all there problems.

So all four of those children will be raised to live off the government and the cycle will continue while liberals` keep indulging their every needs…
