Little too much philanthropy and not enough hoarding for my liking with his cash.  Bit of a welfare enabler.

More than almost anyone else, Ted Turner revolutionized broadcast television. He was a rare breed so innovative that people feared him ... mostly because he didn't just upset the status quo, he blew it to smithereens.

For better or worse, the foundation of modern television was created by Ted Turner.

I'll say, his anti-religion stances were a net positive

Typical Republican. Philanthropy is a tax dodge.
