CNN founder and legendary loudmouth Ted Turner marked the 25th birthday of the pioneering cable news network this week by patting its back, but also telling staff, “I would like to see us return to a little more international coverage on the domestic feed and a little more environmental coverage, and maybe a little less pervert of the day. I mean, there’s a lot of perversion around, I know that, but is it really news? I mean, some of it is. I guess you’ve got to cover Michael Jackson, but not three stories about perversion at the lead of every half-hour.”
A “little more” environmental coverage? Does that imply that there’s some already? Did I blink and miss it?
