CNN cancels Reza Aslan's show "Believer" after profane anti-Trump tweets

CNN Money reports:
CNN has parted ways with Reza Aslan, the host of a documentary series on the network, whose profane anti-Trump tweets were widely criticized earlier this week.

The network said Friday that it has "decided to not move forward with production" on Aslan's "Believer" series.

Season one of "Believer" premiered in March. Season two was announced at an event for advertisers in mid-May. Aslan's production company had already started working on the new episodes.

But the network decided to break off the production relationship after Aslan called President Trump a piece of excrement, using an expletive, last Saturday.
Imagine that.
