Dr. Janis Olowski is allowed to speak and finish on Rachel's show. Was cut off earlier by CNN

She is the chief medical officer at the hospital where the victims are today.
She was making an emotional plea about her constant exposure to victims of gun violence and says something needs to be done to put a stop to it, all but teary eyed making an appeal to help her have to deal with less victims.

As soon as she started the personal comments, and the direction they were going in became apparent, CNN cut her off and went to inane sideline chatter about today's tragedy.
I yelled at my TV to let her finish.

Just as I had yelled at the TV earlier, when they cut away from President Obama's speech about the economy and they went to pundit talk about his comments on the shootings.

CNN needs to hear from any of us who have a few minutes to spare.
They so suck in the inanity and repetition of their reporting, and in their making editorial choices in what they "let us hear".

It's deplorable.

edited to add that Rachel just said the Docor had put in her resignation this morning before the shootings, and will be on Lawrence O'Donnell's show in a half an hour.

Thank you Rachel for picking up their slack.
