CNN

The CNN headquarters has been pumping out news 24/7 for the 21 years I've been living six blocks away.  Ted Turner was in charge in the beginning, then later started Turner Broadcasting.  Turner Broadcasting employs my beautiful x wife and a large chunk of my good friends.

I'm not sure what really happened, but it seemed to be a case of corporate shenanigans that removed Ted Turner from power.  Then the bean counters started to run everything and do what bean counters do.  They bought AOL for 184 billion dollars, then lost 94 billion dollars more in their first quarter afterwords.  Ted Turner thought it was a terrible idea, (along with every one else with a brain) and tried to warn them, but they didn't listen.  After that, Ted walked away from it all in disgust.  One of the lessons my father taught me rings clear in this scenario, accountants can't run business and should keep to balancing the books.

Ted Turner, Atlanta misses you.
