CNN founder Ted Turner hates “what Jeff Zucker did with CNN,” according to his biographer, Porter Bibb.
CNN founder Ted Turner despises “what Jeff Zucker did with CNN,” according to his biographer and longtime friend, Porter Bibb.the billionaire’s biography nearly 30 years ago, says the larger-than-life Turner is in bad shape now. The 83-year-old businessman and philanthropist is in declining health due to Lewy Body Syndrome, the same incurable brain disease Robin Williams suffered from before he committed suicide.
Turner founded and launched CNN in 1980 and promised CNN would be there to cover the end of the world. “We won’t be signing off until the world ends,” he said just prior to launch. “We’ll be on, and we will cover the end of the world, live, and that will be our last event… we’ll play the National Anthem only one time, on the 1st of June [the network’s debut date], and when the end of the world comes, we’ll play ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee’ before we sign off.”
What Turner meant about playing the National Anthem only that one time is that CNN would never sign off. Back then, it was customary for television networks to sign off at the end of the broadcast day by playing the National Anthem. The idea of 24 hour television, with programming that ran around the clock, was unheard-of at the time.
More than that has changed. The idea that a far-left propaganda outlet like CNN would close its end-of-world coverage with a Christian hymn like “Nearer, My God, to Thee” is preposterous. You know those cretins would play John Lennon’sAs far as Ted Turner goes, I’m happy the dynamic billionaire lived to see Jeff Zucker resign in disgrace. Hopefully, he’ll live long enough to see a humiliating housecleaning of the whole smug and corrupt bunch. Hopefully, I will as well.
