CNN spins the news like a top. They played the election by pushing an pulling pundits to help keep viewership up. If someone is espousing an idea that won't sell well to the Fix News crowd whose eyeballs they have to court, because you and I are here, not watching TV, then they will pull the plug. All bias. No bull.
It cut the interview because America does not want independent thinkers.
America does not want to be blamed in any way for anything that ever happens. We give guns to countries so they will help us. Then they turn on us, and use the guns we give them. That is considered funding terrorism. Of course, it's indirectly, and unintentional, but its what he was talking about in part. And it's no secret. But people just would like to live in a fantasy world where America is perfect, and rulse the world and does no wrong.
its the same reason Papers are not allowed to print photos of solderi's coffins, or wounded on the battlefield. We Americans prefer to believe they don't really get hurt that badly, and don't want to see how many of them die. If we do, thenw e will no longer support the war.
CNN is not an independent media. only the internet is.
The networks believe that we can't handle the truth so this is why they C E N S O R !
