When Mr Murdoch launched Fox News in 1996 as a direct competitor to CNN, Mr Turner said he was "looking forward to squishing Rupert like a bug". That's funny. If anybody is getting "squashed," it is Turner. CNN continues to bite the bullet behind Fox in the ratings, and the fact that it turns out that they were pimping for Saddam is not setting too well either.

LOL! I guess CNN will be disappearing from Direct TV soon.... (Fox's war-hyping did cause me to think back to the Spanish-American War, a war that was drummed up to sell papers in the Hearst empire, and a war that launched a future American President into the national consciousness.) Media over-concentration, media oligopoly, whomever the owners are, Ted or Rupert, marks a very dangerous period in society.
