May 21, 202654 min · 9,137 words

Show notes

Former CNN "original" David Bernknopf, author of the new novel: " Two Years on Another Planet.or is it Alaska?" We talk about the good ol' days of CNN where we both worked, our personal reflections on Ted Turner, and insider stories on the business of news.

Highlighted moments

I hate that so much of CNN is about finding people to just yell at each other and the more they yell and the sillier the arguments are the happier the producers are I guess and it's not like I don't want to claim that CNN was this perfect thing CNN created Crossfire which was the model for all these yelling shows but that was a half an hour a day
