The 24 hour news cycle (where news had to invented/exaggerated/sensationalized) along with the smart phone have done more damage to our society than anything else.

Maureen Dowd once wrote about Ted Turner’s marriage to Jane Fonda, saying that the only reason Ted married her was to prove that he could do what the US government could not.

what differentiates her from virtually all current Hollywood actors and their political opinions?
According to many sources, she was a leftist organizer in Hollywood. Partly responsible for the coercive leftist control of that environment which James Woods and others have described.
She is s big part of what hollyweird became.

He apparently has been dealing with dementia since 2018. That's probably why he disappeared so suddenly.

He announced in 2020 he had been diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. From my understanding that's basically like Parkinson's with a side of Alzheimer's. I saw my mom go downhill through 7 years after a Parkinson's diagnosis, wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Biggest mistake Ted ever made was selling out Turner Enterprises to Time-Warner. I honestly believe if he had stayed in control, Atlanta would still have an NHL team, and they would probably have won a Stanley Cup and the Hawks an NBA title. I also think CNN would have stayed much more middle of the road.

I'm sure his children are doing fine, but I remember reading he was not leaving anything for them.
