For all the old school CNN/Ted Turner fans there is a great new profile of Turner in The Hollywood Reporter. Enjoy!

  1. The mere fact that Roger Ailes read Rachel Maddow's book, Drfit, about US military power, shows that his intelligence level is far superior than anyone at CNN.
    Ted Turner might read it, but anyone else, NO.
    That's why Fox News is a success and CNN continues to fail.
    Ailes likes to see who the competition really is about.
    All CNN can do is shift people and shows in an attempt to keep up with those that are better than they ever will be.

  2. CNN decided to abandon intelligent conversation
    in favor of a ridiculous ideological circus. Ted does
    need to come back to CNN. Present management
    is destroying CNN and HLN. Roger Ailes and Phil
    Griffin know how to actually run their networks.
    Rule # 1 don't alienate your viewers. CNN got an
    F in that course for sure.

    Reshuffling anchors is useless. It is the overall
    product on CNN. Right now CNN looks like the
    90's. MSNBC is the 1 network that is the most
    21st century oriented. It won't get any easier for
    CNN in the morning. Come spring Current is
    getting in on the morning show game. Given
    the weakness of Early Start/Starting Point it
    could mean that even Current could top CNN.

  3. Until Rachel Maddow came on the scene , women
    of cable news were anchoring crime shows. Women
    were not seen as serious news personalities. MSNBC
    has managed to find 2 with Rachel Maddow & Prof
    Harri-Perry. That is a strong message to college
    educated females like myself. Rachel Maddow &
    Melissa Harris Perry have brought class back to
    cable news You don't have to yell,scream or argue
    or behave like spoiled brats to make points. Viewers
    can handle an intelligent conversation. Look at all
    of the stunts the male hosts on cable pull. Look
    at how 2 very strong women handle themselves
    by using their brains as the ultimate weapon.

  4. Amen! MSNBC has figured out how to appeal to women! CNN - hiring Barbies to read talking points is the biggest turn off of all! It is easy to tell when an anchor is in over his or her head. The anchor needs to be able to talk intelligently about the topics, guide the conversation, add to the subject in a meaningful way. I would also add Alex Wagner to that list of smart capable women on MSNBC.
