CNN founder Ted Turner, a pioneer of cable TV news, dies at 87 | CNN
Ted Turner, the media maverick and philanthropist who founded CNN, a pioneering 24-hour network that revolutionized television news, died peacefully Wednesday, surrounded by his family, according to a news release from Turner Enterprises. He was 87.
The reason people would wish Rest In Piss on him is because he founded CNN, but outside of that, he's actually rather non-'controversial'.
He also founded Turner Classic Movies, so that kind of balances it out.
Yea they still show uncut old movies but some of the new hosts feel the need to lecture before the movie about what we should find offensive
A lot of the hatred sent his way were strays aimed at Jane Fonda too. People hated him because of her, and eventually forgot the reason but always remembered that they hated him.
