Ted Turner Criticizes the Company He Founded -- CNN Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Ted Turner said that if he was still in charge, CNN would be running more international stories, and less, "Pervert of the Day" type stories.




<----- Pervert of the Day

Of course, it would be nice if all our domestic media did this.

"And maybe a little less pervert of the day," said Turner. "I mean, there's a lot of perversion around, I know that, but is it really news? I mean, some of it is. I guess you've got to cover Michael Jackson, but not three stories about perversion at the lead of every half-hour."


There's hope! :

Ted needs some teeth whitening.




According to this article, Ted actually likes it. The local news story I watched on tv made it sound like he was really coming down on it. But he did make the pervert of the day suggestion which is hilarious.


About 2 years ago CNN.com was running, "Disease of the day," when the bird flu thing was first on the scene.

Of course, Ted Turner is only saying this because he's not in charge anymore. When he was running it, I didn't see this impetus for international news focus.

CNN is a joke now. I'm surprised at how bad it's gotten in the five years I've been watching it.

Then again all US newscasts are hilariously bad with the possible exception of Lehrer.
