Ted Turner Dies at 87
CNN creator Ted Turner has died after a long battle with Lewy Body Dementia. Among Turner’s accomplishments during his career was the launch of CNN – the Cable News Network – in 1980. The cable channel went on to change the way Americans got their news and launched the 24-hour news cycle. It would also ultimately bring opinion and commentary programming to television and lead Rupert Murdoch to build his own news network in the form of FOX News Channel. But it was the 1991 Gulf War that made CNN feel like “must-see TV” for Americans and much of the rest of the world. Turner sold his media assets to Time Warner in 2000.
