Turner headed the new company's cable networks division and was its leading shareholder, but he had trouble fitting into a corporate system after decades of free-wheeling as his own boss. He eventually lost control of his networks.
Turner also became one of the world's leading environmentalists, one of the largest land owners in the United States, and a major philanthropist, giving $1 billion to the United Nations.
With a slender mustache, gap-toothed grin, dimpled chin and mischievous glint in his eye, Turner pursued a range of passions. In the 1970s he owned the Atlanta Braves baseball team and the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association and skippered his yacht the Courageous to the America's Cup. The many women in his life included Oscar-winning actress Jane Fonda.
In 1986 he started the Goodwill Games, an Olympic-like competition, and two years later bought a wrestling organization that provided more TV content. His concerns about nuclear war led him to co-found the Nuclear Threat Initiative in 2001.
Forbes estimates Turner's fortune at $2.8 billion.
"If I only had a little humility, I'd be perfect," he once said.

Imagine if he had beaten Rupert Murdoch to death in 1983 like he wanted to do.
The world would be a better place in every conceivable way.

Cartoon Network was fundamental to so many of our childhoods. May not have agreed with everything he did, but I'll still pay my respects.

Ted was what they used to call a "limousine liberal". He married Jane Fonda, he supported left wing causes. He bought a cable network. He bought up a shitload of land out West. He was a pure capitalist but pretended to be a liberal.

Something strange happened that Ted Turner married Jane Fonda in 1991, one year before Cartoon Network launch.

Jane Fonda visited Hanoi in North VN somewhere in July 1972

https://grokipedia.com/page/Jane_Fonda
>In July 1972, Jane Fonda traveled to Hanoi in North Vietnam for a two-week visit during the escalating Vietnam War, arriving on July 8 amid U.S. bombing campaigns. Sponsored by the North Vietnamese government and the Vietnam Women's Union, her itinerary included tours of sites allegedly damaged by U.S. airstrikes, such as dikes, hospitals, schools, and villages, which she described as evidence of American aggression against civilians.
>Fonda has been married three times—to director Roger Vadim (1965–1973), politician Tom Hayden (1973–1990), and "media executive Ted Turner (1991–2001)"
That's why i don't trust Ted Turner and Jane Fonda
