CNN Edits Out Video of D.L. Hughley Purchasing Pot for Segment on Final Show

TVNewser: It appears CNN higher-ups forced an edit on producers. A TVNewser tipster tells us, “a large section of a segment about marijuana legalization” was edited out of the final broadcast.



Hughley recently visited a marijuana dispensary in Oakland, California after his doctor had written him a prescription for medicinal marijuana. Hughley apparently has chronic back pain.



But that portion will not be shown during the segment on the final show. A CNN spokesperson tells TVNewser, “We always edit pieces to conform to our editorial standards.”
