No knock on his "good friend" Jeff Bewkes -- or on Superman -- but Ted Turner wishes that he was running Time Warner so that he could make some changes at Cartoon Network and CNN, the cable news channel he founded 29 years ago.
At CNN, he wants "less fluffy news and more international news," especially about China, Turner says in an interview set to run on Bloomberg TV on Friday. "Less talk, more news," he says.
As for Cartoon Network, Turner tells anchor Betty Liu, "If I had control of it, I'd put 'Captain Planet' on at a top time period so that kids would see the environmental superhero instead of just Superman."...............

Ted’s starting to remind me of Achmed the Dead Terrorist.
He needs to prevent CNN from drifting too far to the right...
He’s a real fruit loop.
He and Sanchez can get drunk together.
Ted Turner as Captain Plenet on Robot Chicken.
He is in the top five most loathsome Americans..
Memo to the BoD... Give him the Pony and sell CNN to RUSH...
This EXACTLY why Rush MUST sue CNN!!!
NOW Rush, NOW!!!
Letting Ted Turner run CNN again is the equivalent of marrying a first spouse again. It’s like finding sour milk, putting it in the trash for a couple of days, and then saying “Gee, I wonder if it will taste better now.”
“At CNN, he wants “less fluffy news and more international news,” especially about China, Turner says”
He probably wants to promote Chairman Mao’s disciples.
So what do humblegunner and Ted Turner have in common!?
They both got the hots for Jane Fonda?
Captain Planet!!!He’s our hero, gonna take pollution down to zero!!!!! I was stuck watching that crap at my babysitter’s as a kid and I hated it then, before joining the vast right wing conspiracy. It might be the worst cartoon ever made and pure brainwashing.
They both got the hots for Jane Fonda?
Oooops... is it too late to change my answer?
Please make it "They both got DUMPED by Jane Fonda."
(It's just a guess, but it's worth a shot.)
Soft in the Head. Maybe he will leave us like his father did?
I had a pony! My sister had a pony!!! WE ALL HAD PONIES!!!
But, but... you didn’t say its a real pony.
Captain Planet is even worse than JarJar Binks.
Six letters in the last name?
Another communist chimes in.
Rush, now that you can’t buy the Rams, PLEASE buy CNN. I know you’ll have less material for your show if you do that but you need to have an outlet beyond the choir room for the next time someone like you or Sarah Palin gets lied about in the media.
And think how much pleasure you’ll take every time you tell a lib reporter “I only bought CNN because the Rams weren’t available.”
Insane man. This is what Hitler would have been like had he had only money and no real power.
They both like ponies?
They both like midgets?
I know!
They both like midget ponies!
"But I WANT to put on the suckiest, most propagandistic cartoon this side of the Gaza strip, and MAKE children watch it! And I WANT CNN to hire Keith Olbermann and Janene Garofalo as news directors! And I WANT to be like a James Bond villain and rule the world! I WANT! I WANT! I WANT! WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
