PLEASE WRITE CNN AND ASK THEM ABOUT ALL THIS...
Thursday, March 1, 2001
Dear CNN Is it true that on Thursday, Feb. 22, 2001, during a broadcast of your program called The Spin Room, someone from the White House actually called and that lead to the sudden termination of an interview with New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson? If it is true please inform me as to who called from the White House and who did they speak with at CNN. On whose authority at CNN was the interview terminated? Why was it terminated?
Thank you for your kind consideration.

The following is from an unverified "rush" transcript, about 3/4 through it:
PRESS: Governor?
JOHNSON: Yes.
PRESS: Governor, you know what, we're just getting started, but we're out of time, and I hate to say it, because it's been great having you. We want you to come back...
JOHNSON: Are you cutting me -- are you just cutting me, or are you giving me the trap door?
PRESS: That's right...
(CROSSTALK)
JOHSON: ... I thought we were scheduled for more time.
CARLSON: No, it's the White House drug office just called.
(CROSSTALK)
PRESS: Let me just say, thank you for being here, and I, for one...
JOHNSON: Trap door. Trap door.
PRESS: I, for one, want to salute you. I agree with you 100 percent. Keep going. There is a couple of us who agree with you.
CARLSON: And a half-salute for me. Thank you, governor.
PRESS: All right. Governor Gary Johnson. He is the man. He gets trap door, but we don't. We'll be right back with you and your "Spins of The Day" here in THE SPIN ROOM.
