CNN finally “BREAKS THE NEWS” to D.L. Hughley after declining ratings and tons of hate emails from bloggers around the web.
Still today no-one could fully understand what CNN purpose was for hiring Hughley in this highly visible spot right before the election of President Obama. Bloggers were rounded including our readers and directed to send letters and fill out forms on CNN’s pages demanding that they remove Hughley from his post.
Hughley’s first show was a smear campaign against African-Americans and the President. It made you wonder who was behind this strategy. It was rumored that CNN’s parent companies were getting a lot of heat from some big money supporters that CNN showed favoritism toward the Democrats and it wasn’t fair to some viewers.
The first, second, third and all episodes thereafter were disasters. Hughley tried and tried again to sound intelligent with high profile guests but it made him look very un-educated as he claims and worse.
Pepper Miller of adage asked “What the hell was CNN thinking” and like us enjoys some of D.L.’s comedy, but this was not comedy. It was a pure intent on degrading our race as the shows and movies did in the 70’s.
We will never know what was on CNN’s mind when they made this decision and I applaud Hughley’s decision at the attempt to be funny and to get paid, but listen Bra…they weren’t laughing with you, they were laughing at you and at us.

I totally disagree with this article. I actually liked the show and was disappointed to find out that it has been cancelled. I’m completely unclear as to why you state the show was degrading. I watched every single episode and nothing about that show was degrading at all. If my memory serves me correctly the first episode had a skit where they compared Obama’s election celebration party vs. McCain’s. They showed Obama’s party very fun and exciting, and McCain’s party boring and dead. I thought the skit was funny. Overall D.L. simply recaps the weekly news and put his own spin to it. He had a variety of guests on the show, good conversation, and he debated well. From that perspective and don’t see any reason why the show had to be cancelled

CNN breaks the news to employees on disabilities also, CNN is unfair PERIOD. Unfair to labor, unfair to hispanic journalists and more. They abuse whoever they want to, CNN is violating human rights.
See the following about CNN:
CNN: MISTREATMENT AND DEATH OF EMPLOYEES
Salvadoran journalist Mario Vela passes away 12 days after being dismissed by CNN. The organization AGACAMT denounces the hostile attitude of CNN towards ill employees. Jose Ramon Cotti, Puerto Rican journalist dismissed by CNN, remains in a hospital after months of pain.
Atlanta (23 March 2009). – Salvadoran journalist Mario Vela passed away 12 days after CNN dismissed him. The company fired this worker despite the knowledge of the seriousness of his illness. Mr. Vela had been several months agonizing in Washington after his doctors declared there was no hope to save his life.
Mario Vela and his family underwent the pressure imposed by CNN in his last days when receiving a document in which their rights of denunciation were questioned and conditioned to the signing of a humiliating severance package.
CNN served notice to Mr. Vela via mail explaining that he no longer was to have his disability benefits and the medical insurance from the company.
Eva Ventín, president of AGACAMT, the Galician Association Against Moral Harassment at the Workplace, denounces the hypocritical attitude of CNN, that, after putting Mr. Vela in the street, sent the Vice-president of CNN Spanish, Cristopher Crommett, to this employee’s funeral to sing a song and to deliver a pitiful donation.
Relatives and friends of Mario Vela were themselves forced to organize a fundraising concert to collect money to pay for his medical treatment.
It is difficult to think that a powerful and multi-millionaire company like CNN, that in spite of the world’s economy crisis have announced economic gains, gets to mistreat its professionals and families”.
Mario Vela who passed away at age 34, was named by the mayor of Washington DC “the journalist of the year of 2007” recognition who was emphasized by his support to the Hispanic community and towards the under-privileged.
With more than 10 years of experience Mario Vela was news director of Mega Communications and Radio Capital 730 in DC. Vela worked for Channel 30 of Univisión and Radio World in Maryland.
AGACAMT wants to bring to the world’s attention other serious cases of labor harassment at CNN as in 2003 the local press of Atlanta related this network with the depression of a journalist who committed suicide. (see original editorial of the Mundo Hispanico about former news director Abel Dimant).
The complaints of labor abuses and irregularities had been communicated to Mr. Jim Walton, the President of CNN, but there are no answers neither solutions that protect the victims.
AGACAMT denounces that “this it is not the unique case of a journalist dismissed by CNN in a serious condition”. News anchor Jose Ramon Cotti remains in a hospital in Georgia after several months of pain.
The Puerto Rican journalist also was dismissed by CNN while on disability awaiting a delicate heart operation.
CNN brought Mr. Cotti and his wife to Atlanta from New York 9 years ago and the company has now totally forgotten this family, not even making a phone call to inquire about its employee’s condition after double bypass surgery and leg amputation and also after Mrs. Cotti’s hospitalization with health problems including stress related condition.
We communicated Mr. Walton of the above again with no responses.
This prestigious New York radio journalist, recipient of Several prizes including two awards from ACE. (Award of creative excellence) is just another one of the numerous victims of the dramatic crisis that shakes CNN.
