As you know that eight days after Dr Drew expressed concerns not only on Hillary’s health but the treatment she was receiving, his show was abruptly cancelled. He now denies the two things are related but CNN is continuing to pay his HLN salary, so that could be why.
Richard Johnson of Page Six in the NY Daily News, a staple for decades in New York says a source has spoken to him about the incident. Page Six is often praised for their accuracy in reporting and have broken many news stories, despite being a “gossip column.”
The Source told Johnson that CNN demanded that Dr Drew retract his statement and when he refused, there was a series of nasty emails and phone calls and he described the episode as “scary and creepy.”
In the end, his employment wasn’t totally canceled, only his show, but he will be brought into shows where he has specific topics he is to comment on. At least until after the election. The source described CNN as being in the tank for Hillary.
“CNN is so supportive of Clinton, network honchos acted like the Mafia when confronting Drew. First, they demanded he retract his comments, but he wouldn’t.”
When the Founding fathers spoke of the necessity of a free press, they didn’t anticipate CNN.
