The founder of CNN, Ted Turner, has sparked suicide concerns after his biographer revealed that the 83-year-old suffers from the same debilitating and incurable disease that led Robin Williams to take his own life – and carries around the same silver pistol that his father had used to kill himself.
But Lewy Body Syndrome hasn’t stopped the outspoken media mogul from speaking his mind about the network he founded – and the man who was running it as president until his very recent ousting for his relationship with a coworker.
Turner blames Jeff Zucker for taking CNN away from straight news into a more opinion-led network, according to Porter Bibb, who wrote a biography on Turner; It Ain’t as Easy as It Looks.
