I can imagine Lannan didn't know [or do his homework] and have been informed of Pilger's thinking and style; prior movies and writings, etc. I'd guess that someone BIG and Powerful leaned on him or his foundation and said 'either Pilger's out or your fortune is'. 
The very fact that someone[s] fear Pilger, IMHO speaks to how good he is.....Although Ratner and Scahill are no slouchers!
