Three CNN employees resign over retracted story on Russia ties

[Weatherman2020]

Trump called them Fake News. He was right.

 

[Rambunctious]

CNN is just the worst of the bunch. The rest is increasingly just as bad..... Hey the wealthy rich and connected in the media love things the way they are. Trump is draining their playground and pooping in their sandbox. And they are pissed.

“CNN said Monday that three journalists, including the executive editor in charge of a new investigative unit, have resigned after the publication of a Russia-related article that was retracted. Thomas Frank, who wrote the story in question; Eric Lichtblau, an editor in the unit; and Lex Haris, who oversaw the unit, have all left CNN.”

Three journalists leaving CNN after retracted article

Watch them immediately be hired by one of the other Fake News organizations.

Now if only Trump ever issued retractions for his Fake News tweets.

But that won't happen.

You think he'll resign ?

CNN is the counterfeit news network. Sad.

CNN Journalists Resign: Latest Example of Media Recklessness on the Russia Threat


Three prominent CNN journalists resigned Monday night after the network was forced to retract and apologize for a story linking Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci to a Russian investment fund under congressional investigation. That article — like so much Russia reporting from the U.S. media — was based on a single anonymous source, and now, the network cannot vouch for the accuracy of its central claims.

Several factors compound CNN’s embarrassment here. To begin with, CNN’s story was first debunked by an article in Sputnik News, which explained that the investment fund documented several “factual inaccuracies” in the report (including that the fund is not even part of the Russian bank, Vnesheconombank, that is under investigation), and by Breitbart, which cited numerous other factual inaccuracies.

And this episode follows an embarrassing correction CNN was forced to issue earlier this month when several of its highest-profile on-air personalities asserted — based on anonymous sources...

What's truly disturbing is that these journalists that resigned have had long standing professional careers that they just tossed all for a "Gotcha" to destroy Trump. Wow.

They allowed their irrational hate to get the best of em. They didn't act professionally. But they and CNN aren't the only Democrat Fake News out there. There's a whole lot more of it. They completely lost it after Trump won. Democrat Media decided to collude and become an 'Opposition' to Trump. And that's not 'News' or 'Journalism.' It's hate and lies. They've destroyed their credibility.

It would be even bigger news if CNN broadcast an accurate report about Trump.

Probably so at this point. It is rightfully known as 'Fake News' now. It's earned that label.

It is long past the time that CNN should die. It has been a failing network for years. I wonder how it has survived this long. I wouldn't doubt that wealthy Ds have supported financially in some fashion or another.

It is a propagandist operation working to promote the D party and leftist causes.

Oh they had no option. They were busted by Sputnik and Breitbart on this hit piece on Scaramucci. Oh and Scaramucci lawyered up right quick.

Andrew must be laughing his ass off in heaven. And Bannon must be doing cartwheels!

Andrew would be disgusted at what Breitbart has become. He intended for Breitbart to be a organization that gave us the facts not a home for the alt-right to spew their hatred.

The fact is that Trump supporters have no room to laugh. Their pursuit of the Seth Rich story has no sources yet that does not stop them Fox News should have fired Sean Hannity and everyone at the network pushing it. Napolitano should have been fired for spreading a false story about British Intelligence spying on Trump. Fox News has admitted it is no longer a news organization when it dropped its fair and balanced slogan.

The propagandists are just sacrificing these minions. They have no intention of becoming suddenly ethical. The lies are going to increase, not decrease.

Pffffft. He would be thrilled that Breitbart took out CNN in such a spectacular fashion.
