NEW YORK, N.Y. — CNN founder Ted Turner still occasionally watches the network he started nearly four decades ago, although he thinks itβs a little heavy on politics.
Turner said in an interview with βCBS Sunday Morningβ that airs this weekend that heβd prefer his old network had a more balanced agenda, βbut thatβs just one manβs opinion.β
Turner hasnβt had anything to do with CNN for years. Heβs 79, and spoke in the CBS interview about his battle with a progressive brain disorder. He has Lewy Body Dementia, and said the main symptoms are exhaustion and forgetfulness.
Turner said he once thought about running for president when he was married to Jane Fonda. He said she told him that if you run for office, you run alone.
