While CNN reached critical mass under Ted Turner, it was also Ted who brought in Tom Johnson to groom CNN for sale to a bigtime media buyer, and that was the start of many of the problems facing the network today: confusion over a sense of direction, the arrival of consultants, all kinds of journalistic compromises including the implementation of a star system of on air people, and the promotion of executives who as it turns out didn't really know what they were doing.
