THE "MOUTH OF THE SOUTH" SPEAKS OUT

I've always admired Ted Turner. He's never been afraid to say or do what he wants to do, when he wants to do it, and not give a rat's behind what people think. Ted's taken immense chances in building his business empire; winning greatly at times and losing just as greatly others. I believe his worst mistake was selling Turner Communications Group to Time Warner, a decision I'm sure he regrets to this day. But the Atlanta Braves won the World Series on his watch, so to me that certainly counts for something!

The "Mouth of the South" spoke to the National Association of Television Programe Executives Wednesday during their annual Las Vegas convention, and he certainly didn't hold back. Ted let loose on Fox News, comparing their ratings boost to Hitler's rise in popularity during the 1930s and calling the network a propaganda voice for the Bush Administration.

Ted's been out of the picture too long.
