Ted may not have said publically during the 90s he wanted a buyer for CNN, but why would he? That would have undermined his bargaining position. Better to look strong, like a predator hungry to buy other media organizations, rather than weak, like one waiting to be gobbled up. You draw a better price that way. If you look at the decisions made all the way up to the AOL purchase, it looks rather obvious where Ted was going with it. |

now that we know you were talking about cnni not cnn and that we know reese's book isn't much of an authority.
now all you have to do is get rid of the conspiracy theory on ted wanting to "look like a preditor"
maybe you should talk to all the lawyers at nbc and cbs and abc who were hired to fend ted off
