CNN’s Baldwin Cancels Kyle Kashuv After He Tweets About Her
CNN allegedly canceled an interview with pro-Second Amendment Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School student Kyle Kashuv after he retweeted a story describing network anchor Brooke Baldwin as a “fake news hypocrite.”
Kyle Kashuv, a Parkland High School student and survivor of the horrific Valentine’s Day shooting.
Kashuv has separated himself from the rest of the Parkland student advocates in his strong support for the Second Amendment and alternative safety proposals beside gun control or the banning of specific types of weapons.
Kashav wrote on Tuesday, “Can’t wait to be on Brooke’s show tomorrow!” in a retweet of a story by The Daily Wire’s Ryan Saavedra that was critical of Baldwin.

Kashuv tweeted on Wednesday that his interview with Baldwin was canceled following his retweet of The Daily Wire story.
My friend just got a call from @CNN. They're canceling my interview because I quote RTed a Tweet where @ClayTravis called @BrookeBCNN a "fake news hypocrite" (and was quoted in the title).
But don't worry, CNN really wants to have the other side on, as long as they're complicit https://t.co/t95zexPiF8

A person familiar with the matter told The Wrap that CNN felt, “We can’t (on air) have someone on who openly says that our anchor is a fake news hypocrite and calls out our network.” (WJ)
