Getty Images President Donald Trump asserted that CNN founder Ted Turner was “personally devastated” after selling the news network because the new owners “destroyed” it because it became “woke” — although there’s is no evidence of Turner having lamented CNN’s coverage as being “woke.”
Turner, a major pioneer in the cable TV biz, died Wednesday at 87.
“Ted Turner, one of the Greats of All Time, just died. He founded CNN, sold it, and was personally devastated by the Deal because the new ownership took CNN, his ‘baby,’ and destroyed it. It became woke, and everything that he is not all about,” Trump posted on this Truth Social account.
