    I personally feel Ted Turner put Atlanta on the map and made it a business mecca.

      Atlanta is too much of a crime city to build a casino. Back during these days, Atlanta was more of a family town, but still full of businessmen

    Yep, those were the days when people got their news from television, especially CABLE television. CNN Headline News (then CNN2) was of course a half hour network newscast aired every half hour, which was ready when people were, even at mealtimes (breakfast, lunch and dinner). Today, getting news from television is not the case anymore. What with streaming becoming for popular than cable and broadcast television. Not to mention more people getting their news from the internet. I wonder how CNN is keeping up with the state-of-the-art technology and trends.

    18.40. The station is accused of hiring people straight out off college. They are young and inexperienced. Well they would be.
