Report: CNN Stopped Booking Dana Loesch After Taliban Comments
Despite never being issued an official suspension from CNN over her controversial comments about urinating on Taliban fighters, political contributor Dana Loesch was not booked to appear on the network between January 10 through January 30, Politico’s Dylan Byers reports.
For the record, CNN did stop booking Dana Loesch for two-and-a-half weeks after she made comments championing U.S. Marines for urinating on Taliban soldiers and suggesting that she would have done the same.
“Per a Nexis search,” Byers continued, “a graph showing the days that Loesch appeared on CNN over the last six months, with an arrow at January 12, the day she made her remarks:”
On CNN’s Reliable Sources Sunday, Howard Kurtz wondered whether it was fair to suspend commentator Roland Martin over alleged anti-gay tweets but not take any action on Loesch.
