The retired New Jersey police officer who saved a baby locked in a hot car has been making the media rounds, including on HLN.

However, when the story re-aired later in the day, Eckel's shirt was blurred out.

As the Daily Caller noted, the move came just days after HLN announced it was canceling Dr. Drew Pinsky's show. Pinsky recently questioned the quality of Hillary Clinton's health care, saying he was "gravely concerned" about the "1950s level" care the candidate was receiving.
Editor's note: This post has been updated to include a statement from HLN.
