THE TURNER INFLUENCE
Back in 1990, Cable television’s Ted Turner, who has condemned abortion foes as “bozos” who “look like idiots,” lashed out at Christianity. “Christianity is a religion of losers,” Turner told the Dallas Morning News. Referring to Christ’s death on the cross, Turner said, “I don’t want anybody to die for me. I’ve had a few drinks and a few girlfriends, and if that’s gonna put me in hell, then so be it.” Turner also told a group of broadcasters, “Your delegates to the United Nations are not as important as the people [broadcasters] in this room. We are the ones who determine what the people’s attitudes are. It’s in our hands.”
What do you think? After ten years, do you think broadcasters have the say on attitudes in America?
