Report: CNN Pressured Dr. Drew ‘Like the Mafia’ to Retract Clinton Health Comments
Breitbart ^ | 4 Sep 2016 | Daniel Nussbaum

When HLN cancelled Dr. Drew in August, the network said the decision was “mutually agreed” upon by both network executives and the show’s host, Dr. Drew Pinsky — but according to a report, executives at CNN (HLN’s sister network) pressured Pinsky to retract comments he made about Hillary Clinton’s health before the show was cancelled a few days later.

“CNN is so supportive of Clinton, network honchos acted like the Mafia when confronting Drew,” a source close to Pinsky told the New York Post‘s Page Six. “First, they demanded he retract his comments, but he wouldn’t.”

CNN is run by Clinton thugs. All of their employees are paid liars.

Dr. Drew Pinsky told the truth about Clinton. He was immediately threatened, ordered to lie and then fired.

Think getting rid of CNN is one of the first things on Trumps agenda.

Remember the "investigative reporters" who dug into every corner of Nixon's White House, and were given every award and honor the MSM and other Information Elites could think of?

"Investigative Reporting" has long sense gone out of style.

Of course it was all phony anyway. Woodward and Bernstein were just conduits for a leaker with his own agenda. The extent of their "investigative reporting" was making themselves available to be function as tools.

What an excellent comment!

Notice that Woodward has never, ever, in over 40 years, investigated another scandal or had anything bad to stay about the Democrats.

Too bad he is still around to spread his BS.

CNN is the worst. At least MSNBC admits they’re a bunch of commie traitors. CNN ran a 2 hour campaign ad for Hillary, followed by a 2 hour attack ad against Trump. FCC, where are you?

Dr. Drew has always been a liberal but he’s one of those rare principled liberals.

Cable channels are not subject to FCC regulation like broadcast channels.

Yup. W&B were tools used by a disgruntled leftist FBI agent.

If the FCC could regulate cable, they'd also be able to regulate the internet.

Suggest you rethink.

Yeah, I rethought it and now I’m perfectly OK with a biased, lying, left-wing media.

CNN gets tax money from all cable bills per the government.

So if CNN can be cut out of the tax cable bill, then that would do major financial damage.
