CNN deletes, retracts story linking Trump and Russia

On Thursday evening, CNN investigative reporter Thomas Frank published a potentially explosive report involving an investigation of a Russian investment fund with potential ties to several associates of President Donald Trump.


But by Friday night, the story was removed from CNN’s website and all links were scrubbed from the network’s social media accounts.

“That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted,” CNN said in an editors note posted in place of the story. “Links to the story have been disabled.”

Great article. Especially this part:

Fox News was also forced to pull a potentially explosive political story involving the death of former Democratic National Committee staffer Seth Rich.

Rich was shot to death in Washington, D.C., on the morning of July 10, 2016. Local police said the crime was likely a botched robbery, but that hasn’t stopped figures like Sean Hannity and former Republican House speaker Newt Gingrich from suggesting Rich was murdered for leaking DNC emails to Wikileaks.

Do you have a cite indicating that they retracted the story? Deletion may just indicate that they thought the story required more investigation.

History is watching and will always remember what the left have been doing the past year.

Wow

I love when these fucking liars have to print retractions.

CNN gave debate questions to the DNC and they lie constantly. It would be laughable if it wasn't so disgusting.

Ever hear the phrase apples and oranges? Nuff

CNN has admitted it printed what President Donald Trump calls “very fake news” and retracted a demonstrably inaccurate hit piece on the President and his allies after a Breitbart News investigation uncovered significant inaccuracies and flaws in CNN’s work.

Caught in the act, aww such a shame CNN they are huge liars and it's been that way . I learned of how bad they are when Amber Lyons was fired for wanting to speak the truth, but their higher up Elites wouldn't allow that.

This is why the Progs want to take over the interwebs and destroy RW media. The Lame Stream Media used to get away with pushing Fake News. Now, there are alternatives which call them on their Fakeness. They hate that.

 

[S.J.]

CNN lost their credibility with this election and will never get it back.

Shooting and death
On Sunday, July 10, 2016, Rich was shot about a block from his apartment in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Washington, D.C.[27][28][29]

Earlier that night he had been at Lou's City Bar, a sports pub 1.8 miles from his apartment, in Columbia Heights, where he was a regular customer. He left when the bar was closing, at about 1:30 or 1:45 a.m.[30][31] Police were alerted to gunfire at 4:20 a.m. by an automated gunfire locator.[29][32] Within approximately one minute after the gun shots, police officers found Rich with multiple gunshot wounds, in a conscious and breathing state.[33] He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.[34][35][36] According to police, he died from two shots to the back[27][28] and may have been killed in an attempted robbery, noting that the neighborhood had recently been plagued by robberies.[27] Rich's mother told NBC's Washington affiliate WRC-TV, "There had been a struggle. His hands were bruised, his knees are bruised, his face is bruised, and yet he had two shots to his back, and yet they never took anything... They didn't finish robbing him, they just took his life."[37] The police told the family they had found a surveillance videotape showing a glimpse of the legs of two people who could possibly be the killers.
