Billionaire Ted Turner, who founded the Cable News Network in 1980, talks with Bloomberg’s Betty Liu about his desire to run CNN again. Turner said if he got his wish, he’d cut “fluffy” news and increase international coverage. Turner quit the media business three years ago when he left the board of New York-based Time Warner Inc. Time Warner bought his cable company, which included CNN, in 1996.

Unfortunately, they would end up losing even more viewership. Americans love "balloon-boy" fluffery.
