seems that my plea to Ted Turner may be answered . . .
back in 2007, I posted the following in response to another post . . .

Paging Ted Turner! . . . Paging Mr. Ted Turner!! . . .
please, please, please! . . . put together a group of investors to buy back CNN and turn it into the kind of real news organization that you envisioned when you founded it . . . you could re-define what "news" means in the 21st century -- and quite possibly help save the nation from whatever it is that BushCo is trying to turn us into . . .

then, while casually browsing the New York Post this morning (I buy it only for the sports . . . really), I run across this little blurb in Cindy Adams' column . . .

"EXCUUUUUSE me but another thing nobody else would tell you? You've freshly heard burblings that Ted Turner wants back running CNN? Months ago, months ago, I told you that. Months ago."

took him long enough, but I guess he's finally fed up with what his invention has become . . . anyone else hear this from any other sources? . . .

1. He Said He Regretted Selling To Time/Warner
I never heard he was interetested in returning to teevee. Doubtful Time/warner would sell to him...even his own "child".
