Reza Aslan Out At CNN On Heels Of Trump Piece of Sh*t Tweet

Source: Deadline

Cable news network CNN says it will not move forward on another season of Believer docu-series, days after host Reza Aslan’s incendiary tweet about President Donald Trump.

“CNN has decided to not move forward with production on the acquired series Believer with Reza Aslan. We wish Reza and his production team all the best,” a network rep said in a statement about the network’s call on Season 2.

Aslan on Sunday had apologized for calling President Donald Trump a “piece of shit” in a tweet, after Trump tweeted a plug for his travel ban shortly after word broke out of another attack on the London Bridge.

I had no idea there were off-branches of Scientology.

REALLY weird Hindu sects. All that about Santa Muerte. Doomsday cults in Hawaii!

This must be about something else. Ratings, Return on Investment, "outside pressure groups," something beside talking smack about THAT jackass in the White House!

"History of Comedy" disappeared out of the blue, too.

I do remember he mentioned he had a problem with outspoken anger when he was questioned by the Scientology practitioner when preparing to be on that meter thing they use. Guess so. And that meter didn’t work too well to "clear" him of it either.

fact that he is an acey, deucy, top notch, A one POS as stated. Unfortunately that seems like the type of person the heads of networks, including CNN among othersl, like to hang out with disregarding that we are truly known by the company we keep (support).
