Trump lauds Ted Turner, claims new ownership ‘destroyed’ CNN

President Trump lauded CNN founder Ted Turner following his death Wednesday, calling him “one of the Greats of All Time.”

“Ted Turner, one of the Greats of All Time, just died. He founded CNN, sold it, and was personally devastated by the Deal because the new ownership took CNN, his ‘baby,’ and destroyed it,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “It became woke, and everything that he is not all about.”

“Maybe the new buyers, wonderful people, will be able to bring it back to its former credibility and glory,” he said.

Trump said Turner was a friend of his and “one of the Greats of Broadcast History.”

“Whenever I needed him, he was there, always willing to fight for a good cause!” the president wrote.
