Eyesore in Journalism! CNN presenter sparks outrage after he ate cooked human brain while filming Hindu cannibal sect (Warning: Disturbing photos)

CNN has hit a new low thanks to its presenter who drank an alcoholic drink from a human skull before eating human brain.

CNN’s Reza Aslan has been heavily criticized for eating human brain in an episode of his new series dubbed ‘Believer’ which is a six-part series on spirituality.

Aslan’s latest episode of his series focused on the Aghori sect- an extreme Hindu sect who practices cannibalism in India.

The CNN presenter interacted with the Aghori in the holy Hindu city of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh. Aslan was ‘initiated’ into the Aghori sect by a few members who subjected him to primitive rituals.

The Aghori smeared ashes from cremated human bodies on the face of the CNN presenter before they gave him a human skull which he drank an alcoholic drink from.

The most disgusting part of the ritual came when Aslan was presented with a cooked human brain tissue; the CNN presenter ate the human brain as his camera crew filmed him.

The episode which was shown last Sunday, sparked criticisms by Hindus in America who termed it as offensive and extreme retrogression in journalism.
