It's deeply ironic that this website "devoted to exposing liberal media bias" has given ample and uncritical voice here to Ted Turner, who, albeit some obvious exaggerations, generally makes a lot of sense. BTW: the notion that the media should not be liberal is a little like saying democracy should not be liberal. The very nature of both of those institutions is rooted in the traditional secular enlightenment values of empowering equality and freedom of speech and thought in pursuit of truth. Thus, an illiberal media, which would not be free to publish whatever seemed unpatriotic, is really a contradiction in terms.

This is an interview, and I assume the published quotes are accurate. However, next to nothing of what was said by Mr Turner was fact-checked, other than conditions in North Korea (first paragraph). Mr Turner ran a news network that collaborated closely with Saddam Hussein, so perhaps it is understandable that he wants to blame someone else in the news business for Saddam's demise, but that does not make his comments rational or factual. One more item: If population density were the cause of terrorism as Turner says then Singapore and Hong Kong should be the leading sources.
