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.

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.

Parsons said he did not feel CNN was liberal, but instead has a bias for the truth. He conceded that journalists are often perceived as liberal because they tend to challenge 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."

Or maybe they don't like what they see so they change it to Fox News and leave it there. lol

You don't have to. The overwhelming majority of all journalists are liberals.

Crazy people exchanging views? ROFL...a little disgruntled at Fox's success maybe?

Looks like someone else is in the Demo's back pocket. Aren't Moore and Hollywood enough for these scathing crybaby libs?

Sounds like he's jealous of Fox's success.

Let him take all the shots he wants; Bill O'Reilly is bulletproof, and Kiran Chetry is a bombshell!

lets see how long fox is on the air. liberals play rough and have a way of winning, especially in the court system.

I watch Fox News for comic relief. Their slant is so obvious. Many others probably watch it for the same reason. Real news is so depressing that we need to switch from time to time.

Maybe that's why their ratings are so high.

It is funny though to hear from people who are so used to the left-leaning media that when they see something that's closer to the "middle" than the others, they think it has a right slant. That is what's comical.

Overall, even Fox doesn't quite make it to the middle, much less to the right. They're definitely closer than the others though.
