Priceless media quotes from 2005

Here's the Quote of the Year:

Ted Turner: "I am absolutely convinced that the North Koreans are absolutely sincere. There’s really no reason for them to cheat [on nukes]....I looked them right in the eyes. And they looked like they meant the truth. I mean, you know, just because somebody’s done something wrong in the past doesn’t mean they can’t do right in the future or the present. That happens all the, all the time."

Wolf Blitzer: "But this is one of the most despotic regimes and Kim Jong-Il is one of the worst men on Earth. Isn’t that a fair assessment?"

Turner: "Well, I didn’t get to meet him, but he didn’t look — in the pictures that I’ve seen of him on CNN, he didn’t look too much different than most other people I’ve met."

Blitzer: "But, look at the way, look at the way he’s, look at the way he’s treating his own people."

Turner: "Well, hey, listen. I saw a lot of people over there. They were thin and they were riding bicycles instead of driving in cars, but–"

Blitzer: "A lot of those people are starving."

Turner: "I didn’t see any, I didn’t see any brutality...."
— Exchange on CNN’s The Situation Room, September 19.

Outstanding.
That guy should have his own network or something.

If the Left's half-baked theory is correct that Republicans own media outlets, so, they must be handing down edicts to all the Democrat operatives (provable) and activists who run the overwhelming majority of our news media instructing them to slant the news for Republicans (which I suspect we might occasionally hear one or two of these extreme liberals complain abou tif it was actually happening), then CNN has to be biased towards liberals because it has been founded and run by liberal wacko, Ted Turner forever now.

It's a dumb smokescreen argument.
