I loved his style

We got cable when I was in the 5th grade. Became a Braves fan because of WTBS. I couldn't stand listening to Harry and thus the Cubs didn't get watched much. And they played all their home games during the day, I was never in the house.

Ted Turner created CNN. He can take it with him.

When CNN started, it was news you could trust. Ted Turner had not been in charge there for more than a decade when Clinton started sticking things in his intern and CNN so obviously picked a side and started making excuses for certain party affiliated politicians.

I may not agree with all of his wildlife management choices and ideas i did do a hunt on the armendarus and it seemed like he was trying lots of different things to help with wildlife conservation. Talking with the guide some stuff worked, some didn't but Ted was definitely spending plenty of money on conservation. It was a strict managed ranch for hunting with animal numbers and harvest kept in check.

He married Hanoi Jane (Jane Fonda). No rational person could possibly believe once she entered the picture that TT wouldn't put his thumb on the scale to turn "news" into propaganda.

Say what you want about her politics, there was a time Jane Fonda was HOT, and he was a man, so you cant blame him for sticking it in her when he got a chance. Even if she was a super twat.

Physical beauty is tarnished, at least for me, by what these women believe and how they carry themselves. Hanoi Jane, Alyssa Milano, and the like…..

I made sure mrs johnr was in my camp early on in the courtship.

Anyone old enough to remember knows CNN was an ok news source until they started breaking bad with the Clinton Lewinski scandal in 1998. Anyone can Google the fact Ted Turner sold CNN two years before that in 1996 and had only been dating or married to Jane Fonda the last 5-6 years he owned it.
Also, anyone who says that if they were a 52 year old billionaire and this bent over in front of them, that they wouldn't have touched it, is a liar...

PS. Jane Fonda is a cunt.

 

[Rowdie]

Say what you will about his choice to hook up with that bitch, but he was he'll of guy. He invented the 24 h news. Saved the Braves and the Hawks in Atlanta.

Pn Johnny Carson old Ted said the Ten Commandments should be the ten suggestions. I dont think old Ted will rest in peace. Maybe in later life he changed. For his sake I hope so.

There's a story about Ted here in Nebraska , he got stopped by the Hyannis sheriff for speeding going or coming from his ranch , Ted pulled the do you know who I am card on the sheriff . didn't work pay the f%$king fine or go directly to jail in Arthur. He paid the fine

It's too bad when anyone dies. But its strange to me to see anyone on a site like this hold this guy up as some kind of hero. He was counter to what most hunters and people on the right hold dear. He was the grandfather of the whole NWO movement. He believed there should only be 500 million people on the planet cause people are a scourge to mother earth. He was the original George Soros. He was an intelligent guy who was ahead of his time but I would struggle to find 1 thing that I could agree with him on.
