  1. It genuinely breaks my heart to hear of the passing of Drew Griffin. I knew him from his investigative journalism reports on CNN. I deeply admired him for his extraordinary reportage.
    On a personal note, in the past year or so, I had thought to write him in the hope that he would listen to me about my own living nightmare–one that I share with tens of millions of other citizens, voters, taxpayers, wage earners, consumers of the United States of America–and endeavour to resolve a genuine injustice inflicting upon us untold suffering. My physical disabilities denied me that effort.

  2. You , we can feel the loss in your words , Jake . If a God exists, please wrap this soul in warm loving arms forever . R.I.P.

    1. If a god actually existed this man wouldn’t have died of cancer so young while leaving Carlson and Hannity on air.

      I absolutely adored how he followed his creator and stopped corruption in its tracks. God runs all, not man. Absolute brilliant man

    2. Thoughts and prayers to him and to the illegal alien that Paul Pelosi wrecked into while driving drunk. 🙏

  3. Drew was the essence of what journalists and journalism should be. Accurate, fearless, and always probing for the truth!! RIP!!! 😪

    2. @Faith & FreedomIt’s always about “the fear of God!”…..why is something that is pure love and has a love for you that is greater than anything you can imagine, be something to fear? I get the concept, having humility for god but I don’t agree with “god fearing”. It’s like calling for your pet so you can spend time and love it, and it won’t come out from under the bed….”it fears you”. It’s necessary, right?

  8. I’m mostly an MSNBC guy but on the occasions that I do watch CNN or listen to CNN I always found that I like Drew and his work. To me there needs to be more like him out there reporting on true stories real stories. It’s sad when a good journalist is no longer with us anymore
