Alan Dershowitz: CNN Chose Avenatti Over Me for Russia Probe Analysis

Compare the legal backgrounds of Harvard's Alan Dershowitz versus sleazy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti.

Who has the more distinguished career? Yet CNN chose Avenatti over Dershowitz for the go-to person for legal analysis of the Trump-Russia collusion probe.

Why? Well, despite Avenatti falling way short in legal background compared to Dershowitz what qualified him to be an almost daily guest on CNN for a long period last year was that he promised the imminent demise of the presidency of Donald Trump.

Alan Dershowitz described to Howard Kurtz on Fox News' MediaBuzz on Sunday how CNN which characterizes itself as the the network of "Apple" facts slipped on the Avenatti banana peel of its own making since his prognostications all proved wrong.

What happened as a result of that, is that, for example, CNN which used to have me on all the time, on Anderson Cooper, on Cuomo, on Lemon as an analyst, as a centrist analyst, decided no, no, it is okay to have extreme Trump supporters because people just use them as kind of stick figure exhibits and then everyone else will do the narrative of CNN. What they didn't want was a centrist liberal that went against their narrative.

Must stick to the narrative even if it means putting sleazy Michael Avenatti on the air for 121 CNN appearances in 2018.

KURTZ: You have said that CNN president Jeff Zucker essentially ordered you banned after you took these positions but do you know that for a fact or is that a supposition?
