NEW YORK - CNN founder Ted Turner says he doesn&#39;t have the money to buy the network back from AOL Time Warner. <br> <br> Turner resigned as vice chairman of the AOL Time Warner board last week and is said to be dissatisfied with how the network is being run. He told CBS News&#39;s ``60 Minutes Two&#39;&#39; that the company&#39;s tumbling stock cost him between seven and eight billion dollars. <br> <br> Turner also said he was opposed to a potential merger of CNN with the Walt Disney Company&#39;s ABC News. Those merger talks have taken place in recent months but have stalled. <br> <br> The interview is scheduled to be broadcast Wednesday.
