what do you think?

"You guys want to know how to get your ratings back and beat Fox News? Start covering Ron Paul more. The grassroots are watching all the news channels looking for coverage. If you were to give more of it, they will flock to your channel.

Good luck!"

They won't do it. CNN and Fox News are owned by the same guy: Rupert Murdoch

Turner founded CNN, however today CNN is owned by Time Warner. Turner has less than a 1% share and is no longer on the board.

Turner founded CNN via Turner Broadcasting System. Time Inc. and Warner he did not found. Time Warner bought out TBS and for a while Turner was a large shareholder and sat on Time Warner's board. He is still a huge shareholder but as I said, now has less than 1% ownership and is no longer on the board.

I've been wondering that! There's been at least one TV show host who mentioned that he probably had a huge increase of listeners for that show because he would be interviewing Ron Paul (may have been Glen Beck but not sure)... and I thought, isn't a large part of TV supposed to be to get good ratings? Hmm.
