New York Post [Page Six] - June 3, 2005

YOU GOT IT, TED!

CNN founder Ted Turner must have been off his medication in Atlanta the other day at the cable channel's 25th anniversary. Turner bemoaned the way CNN covers the "pervert of the day" (we're sure he didn't mean Michael Jackson) instead of international news and the environment. "I wanted to be the New York Times of the airwaves, not the New York Post," said Turner. Well, he's getting his wish. The Post is the fastest-growing newspaper in the nation, and outsells the Times in New York City, while CNN had 345,000 viewers on Wednesday night, compared to Fox News Channel's 2.27 million.
