"Good night and good luck" were Ted Turner's final words to Time Warner shareholders Friday, paraphrasing legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow, as he left the board of directors, severing his ties to the media conglomerate.

Was it sour grapes?  Here's what  we know:
  • Turner did not stand for re-election to TWX board of directors
  • He didn't stay for the video montage in his honor
  • He disappeared before former CNN chief Tom Johnson gave a long tribute to him
What happens to TWX now? What are we to make of Turner's homage to Murrow? Is Ted Turner, like Murrow, a man who was wiser than his era?

Or is Turner simply hoping George Clooney will make a movie about him, as Clooney did for Murrow in the recent biopic Good Night, and Good Luck?
