Time Warner Inc. chairman Dick Parsons Friday described Fox News Channel as "crazy people exchanging views," telling a group of minority journalists in Washington he felt that the channel and his own Cable News Network are two different services.There's refined journalism for ya. Tell us more, Dickie!
When asked by Univision Anchor Jorge Ramos why CNN was losing the ratings battle with Fox, he was not ready to concede that. He said that Fox was more like talk radio on TV, which meant that its viewers stayed longer because people tended to "come and sit down for an hour or two and listen to crazy people exchange views." CNN actually draws more viewers, he said, but said they were grazers who didn't stay long.Bwahaha! I think the technical term for that is "sour grapes," but it might be"whistling past the graveyard."
But wait, there's more!
Parsons said he did not feel CNN was liberal, but instead has a bias for the truth.I guess he's never met Judy Woodruff and most of the rest of his talking hairdos.
He conceded that journalists are often perceived as liberal because they tend to challenge the establishment.Puhleeze! They are the establishment.
He did not make an overt comparison with Fox, but he did say that his news operation "does not give a corporate slant to its journalism. We don't tell them how to report."Not to worry, folks. He had his fingers crossed. He also didn't mention how CNN had sucked up to Saddam to keep their bureau in Baghdad.
Looks like Dickie is in serious contention for moonbat executive of the year. Which probably explains the perpetual hole that Time-Warner is in. Keep digging, Dickie!
