"Little Hitlers, Grains Of Sand"

"Little Hitlers, Grains Of Sand"
Can someone please explain to me why everyone except Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong Il, and the world's raftloads of tin horn dictators can be called "Hitler" with a straight face by prominent people?
Ted "Mouth Of The South" Turner is at it again. Now the programming folks at Fox News are "Hitler." Read all about it here, here, and here.
To tell you the truth, I'm pretty lukewarm about the whole Fox News thing. People get pretty uptight about that network. Newsflash, people: A lot of what's passing for "news" these days is what most people should call "advocacy," and both major political factions in this country have their own set of outlets that favor their views.
(I could write more, but it's not a good idea for a media relations person to do so, really.)
That said... Turner hasn't screwed up this badly since he started colorizing films back in the 1980s. Oh... And then there's that whole marrying-Jane-Fonda thing.
(Ed. note: The title of this blog posting comes from a lyric cribbed out of the underappreciated album Cyber Chords And Sushi Stories from the band Plan B. Yes, my musical tastes are based on stations that broadcast at ten watts.)
