SHORTY: A Ted Turner Tribute with One Very Funny Wolf Blitzer Story | Greta Wire

Greta Van Susteren and Wolf Blitzer once got into a tug-of-war over a chair — and Jane Fonda was behind the whole thing.

This episode is a short, affectionate remembrance of Ted Turner, with funny behind-the-scenes stories from Greta’s CNN years.

After learning of Turner’s death, Greta decides to share an old memory that captures both the strange energy of early CNN and Turner’s larger-than-life presence. She reflects on how beloved he was inside the network, how unconventional he could be, and how completely he changed television news by turning CNN into a 24-hour operation when many people mocked the idea.
