He was a mixed bag to be sure, but towards the end he went full globalist.

The good news... He didn’t know that he was alive, so the fact that he’s dead won’t shock him too much.

He owned CNN, which started as a trustworthy news source but was intended all along to be the liberal propaganda outlet it is now known.He created a Frankenstein's monster or golem. It got out of his control.

Trump just posted, he basically said the same thing. But he had nothing but praise for Ted.

He also put a uniform on himself and sat in the dugout acting like the manager, eventually MLB cancelled that self-promotional idea.
He is credited as managing one game which the Braves lost. May 11, 1977, for the Atlanta Braves (the Braves lost 2–1 to the Pittsburgh Pirates to bring their losing streak to 17 games).
To: Steven Scharf
I think once the commissioner of MLB saw Ted Turner in the dugout wearing a uniform, he put a stop that ASAP.

“He created a Frankenstein’s monster or golem. It got out of his control.”
He knew what he was creating. I remember the 1980s and 1990s very well. His comments back then were against all things American, from freedom to individual liberties.

Didn’t he divorce Jane because he found out she believed in a G-d of some sort?

they are pretty tasty! Worked on a bison ranch- we’d butcher one when the male got older and replace it with younger one- made bison hotdogs- it was like eating steak- flavor was awesome. steaks were good too- they didn’t run a lot- though they had large corrals- so were pretty tender- plus we grained em and gave em silage- they were pretty pampered-
