CNN,Ted turner:why he sell CNN?

On charley rose, he just said "i was afraid". OF business failing, or what?

Was he drunk on that show? Seemed to be revealing amazing details of his life. Held nothing back in scouring Murcoch.

3. I caught what he said about Blair.

So if he was drunk on the show, was he telling deep truths, or drunkenly mixing everything up?

what do drunks usually do? I know little to nothing about how they behave, thankfully. Had two drunks for neighbors, only know they fight with their family. I as a result never touch the stuff. Dr Edell says it is harder to kick than any other drug.

4. In vino, veritas. Alcohol is a disinhibitor.

7. He's bipolar--I mean, he really is; he's on meds.

I don't know if that would account for his behavior,however.
