Although the one that really caused my jaw to drop was when, trying to demonstrate their total independence from Ted Turner after yet another one of his notoriously offensive outbursts in back in mid June of 2002, CNN anchor Kyra Phillips emphasized that Turner’s views weren’t those of the network immediately after she finished reporting on his remarks. As they were breaking for commercial you could see Turner himself walk out onto the set and hand Phillips a slip of paper. When they returned a contrite Phillips obediently read from the note Turner handed her and apparently told her to read. It was an explanation of and apology for his remarks written by Turner himself. So much for independence.
