It’s like you can literally see people in a control room scrambling to pull out some feed wires the moment he starts criticizing foreign policy on live tv.. - via

Viral video of the night: CNN pulls the plug on a soldier making an unauthorized comment on foreign policy/ Iran/ Israel. Way to go CNN.

For the record: It’s entirely unclear from this video whether CNN intentionally cut the feed as the soldier was talking, or if there was a legitimate technical glitch that caused them to lose the connection. Let’s not jump to any conclusions one way or the other just yet. Also, it’s a little presumptuous to call something the “viral video of the night” before it’s had the chance to go viral.

I doubt very much that CNN would intentionally pull the plug on a U.S. soldier making a comment like that.  It would appear that a satellite feed was temporarily disrupted or some other technical glitch.  Active duty soldiers speaking out against administration foreign policy?  That’s the very definition of news.
