Can News Corp Escape Scandal Unscathed?
There’s not much good blood between Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch (maybe Turner challenging Murdoch for a fist fight once has something to do with that), but still, Turner’s suggestion that Murdoch step down from News Corp for the company’s role in the UK phone-hacking scandal makes for good TV. Bloomberg TV had the interview (the Murdoch stuff begins at the 4:58 mark). “He hasn’t survived anything like this,” Turner said of his longtime rival.


Ted is just jealous. Sorry loser.
Ted Turner to nurse: is it time for my pills?
Just because you ran your family’s empire into the ground, don’t get all jealous about those of your betters.
Shut up Ted.
I doubt Ted has any reason to be jealous over Murdoch…but I see the right-wing nuts have shown up to Deadline in order to defend their God and Saviour.
“I doubt Ted has any reason to be jealous over Murdoch”
Rupert still has a hot wife.
Double Ted’s dosage S.T.A.T. Warren Buffet and Ted Turner are punchlines.
What a pompous ass… everytime you rub your nose with your left hand you lie… the rich are assholes.
Dear Ted, spot on, but if you hadn’t greenmailed CBS to the edge of bankruptcy in 1985 we wouldn’t have gone through the rash of mergers and consolidations that left us with today’s corrupt, right-wing media. On the other hand, thank you for TCM.
Ted Turner is still alive? I thought he died ten years ago. Or maybe it just seemed like it.
I would pay $500 to sit ringside while Turner performed a TKO on Murdoch. Rupert and his nasty clan are a blight on the media and humanity. Take them down.
Someone pass the whiny liberal the Huffington Post so he’ll shut the hell up.
No fan of Turner…but he is right in that Rupert Murdoch, and his family, need to step down. This is not a right-left issue…a right-wrong issue….and NewsCorp did a big wrong
Also, the Murdoch’s can take their Saudi royal benefactor Alwaleed bin Talal with them
A hilariously funny interview. I especially liked it when he called for Murdoch to resign, alleging ignorance was no excuse. All I could think was, what would he say if the interviewer then asked him that since it’s coming to light that high level ATF agents broke the law, and since high level Energy department officials DEFINITELY broke the law, shouldn’t that mean that President Obama should resign? Whether he knew about it or not?
Then it would have been fun to watch Turner’s quick backpeddling. Turner is a moron.
