CNN Edits Out Pot Purchase from D.L. Hughley’s Final Show

By Chris Ariens 

The final “D.L. Hughley Breaks the News” was taped at CNN’s New York studios this afternoon. And 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.”
