In primetime from December-April, Fox News enjoyed a 51% share of total U.S. cable news viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research (compared with CNN's 26%, MSNBC's 10%, CNN Headline News' 8% and CNBC's 4%).

In addition, while CNN International is available on only some U.S. cable systems, it is a substantial force in the rest of the world -- not only the international channel but also the various in-country channels that CNN owns. According to 2000 data supplied by the National Cable Television Assn., CNN was available to 1 billion people in 212 nations worldwide, serviced through 37 bureaus.

CNN International president Chris Cramer says it's important for CNN to own all of those outlets, not only because they make the brand ubiquitous but also because they allow correspondents to be stationed in the nations they cover instead of "parachuting in" when big news breaks.

From: Is CNN yesterday's news?

No matter what you hear him say remember that Ted Turner is a barely controlled sufferer of bipolar syndrome.

Sometimes he goes off his meds too.

"I thought between sports and news and television and friendship that we could end the Cold War, and by God, we did," he said,

That would be hysterically funny, given reality, if you don't think about the fact that Ted actually believes it. What a truly frightening individual.

Next, we will bond with NK, Cuba, Syria and Iran by playing soccer, watching "Will and Grace" and signing "We are the World".

My-oh-my, how the world must laugh.

Turner also credited his international Goodwill Games with helping end the Cold War

Yeah, that was it, not the Pope John Paul II, not Reagan, not Thatcher, not Walesa, not Trident, Peacekeeper or Pershing II missiles, not the expansion and modernization of the conventional US Navy. Nope, those things were waaaay overrated.

A now forgotten and then unwatched Olympic-wannabe sports event broke the back of European Marxism-Leninism.

so, is Castro COURTING America? Did these guys - Oliver Stone, Ted Turner, Robert Redford, etal - get invitations from Castro to visit him in Cuba, by chance?

Ted Turner should be an inspiration to us all. Look what this man did with only a brain stem. Just imagine how much more he could have accomplished if his cerebrum hadn't been destroyed by oxygen deprivation.

Gee, I hope Ted doesn't hyper-extend his elbow patting himself on the back.
