In this D.L. Hughley article , the author talks about how Hughley's show on CNN, Breaking the News, was canceled. He claims that it was because of family matters but others think that he was "just too hot" for the news network. In the finale show, he talks about his chronic back pain and how he uses medicinal marijuana. However, his finale show was censored because of the marijuana references. The "CNN higher-ups" say that it's business as usual and they always edit clips out. The author asks if this is fair and, although the network claims they want to work with him again, will Hughley ever be seen on CNN again?
I, personally, don't think its fair that his show was censored. I understand adult language and maybe violence. But if it is talking about medicinal marijuana, they don't really have the right to take it out. And it's CNN...adults watch CNN, not children. I don't think D.L. Hughley is influencing many on smoking pot. I'm not familiar with the show, but if its just showing his life, and he is just going to pick up medicine, how can CNN just cut that out?
Censorship is getting out of hand. Between music, movies and television. The thing is, if its children people are worried about, they are getting to whatever they want to see if you allow it or not. It's pathetic when you're listening to the radio and the music just stops every couple minutes. Just let it play. If parents don't want their kids listening to it, change the channel to oldies. And honestly, you're out of luck, because if they want to hear that music, they can just jump on their computers and download tripple x porn if they want.
