Ted Turner: Okay, Fox News Not as Bad as Hitler

Ted Turner is many things, but a coward isn't one of them -- not when he has a book to sell, anyway. The CNN founder ventured into enemy territory last night, making his first appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, where the host started things off by playing an old clip in which Turner compared the popularity of Fox News to that of Adolph Hitler.

"Do you regret that?" O'Reilly demanded.

"It might've been a little strong," Turner conceded. Later, O'Reilly forced Turner to admit that his criticisms of Fox lack weight, since he confesses to almost never watching the network.
