I was in the audience for this show....Ted was blah blah blah.
The "great Manhattan Pizza race" was fun. Kudos to Dave for NOT killing Ted.

[@rayRay-pw6gz]

Dave asked mundane questions of Ted. Read Ted’s biography. Dave did entertaining, Ted tried to steer the country to a better place.

[@keefriff99]

Well, Ted...you fought the good fight, but you didn't count on an evil bastard named Rupert.

[@Lkhrobertson]

I love Ted Turner. ONE of a kind and seems all heart.

[@thenostalgicpodblast]

Amazing intereview

[@robertdubs9466]

Surprised Ted Turner never ran for President.

[@silencedogood5766]

Well that failed.

[@jacelo]

Explain

[@Etobeeshawn]

@@jacelo explain !? Since Ted Turner sold CNN and his empire to AOL TimeWarner (which Ted is on record as saying he regrets selling CNN, TBS to them), CNN has become the OPPOSITE of the smarter, more peaceful narrative that Ted Turner wanted for CNN. You know, since CNN has now become the biased, manipulative, deceitutful, race-bating propaganda mouthpiece for the "Democratic" National Committee

CNN was doing that in the beginning!

[@booognish]

The very nature of a 24 hour news cycle is a recipe for sensationalism and BS.

[@wewantjeremy]

[@keefriff99]

CNN has turned into bland corporate bothsiderist garbage while Fox News crushes everything good and decent in its path.

[@DanWilan]

Compare this to the new CEOs
