Bill Cosby's lawyer, Marty Singer, has recently claimed that the network is using unethical and malicious reporting tactics to smear the comedian.
Singer has written a scathing letter to CNN Prez Jeff Zucker, claiming his reporters are out to get Cosby in a special the network was doing with model/actress Beverly Johnson, TMZ.com reported.
The lawyer stated that Mark Burk, who was Johnson's live-in boyfriend from 2006-2009 told CNN reporters that she never said a negative statement about Cosby throughout their entire four year relationship.
According to Singer, the reporters tried to pressure and manipulate Burk to corroborate Johnson's claims that Cosby drugged her in the mid '80s at his NYC home.
He further mentioned that when Burk stuck to his guns, the reporters abruptly terminated the conversation.
