CNN is in crisis mode and firing employees who link Trump to Russia

[Bassman007]

That's right, at this point in time if you work for CNN and say that Trump colluded with Russia, CNN will fire you.

Thus we must conclude that CNN believes that there is no information linking Trump to Russia.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!

Three CNN journalists have resigned following the network’s retraction of their story that alleged a link between a Russian investment fund and an ally of President Trump.



Reporter Thomas Frank, editor Eric Lichtblau and Lex Haris, the executive editor for CNN’s investigative unit, all left the company over the article, which was published on CNN.com Thursday but removed a day later after the network concluded that it did not meet its editorial standards.

“In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignations of the employees involved in the story’s publication,” a spokesman said Monday evening.

Citing a single anonymous source, the piece had claimed that Congress was probing a “Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials.”

CNN said it retracted the story because the information was not “solid enough” to publish. The network did not cite any factual errors or mistakes in the piece.

The network also issued an apology to Anthony Scaramucci, a financier and former Trump transition team official whom the story named as an intermediary to investors.

• I haven't seen anything asserting that CNN fired anyone.
• CNN has asserted that the story's details hadn't been rigorously confirmed prior to being published. Even though CNN didn't fire the noted editors, it should have had they not resigned voluntarily for it's their job to uphold the organization's stated editorial standards with regard to all that their staff write and submit for publication. As for the reporter, whether he should have been fired or resigned depends on the nature of the representations he made to his editors and on the nature of his onus to verify the content he received from sources that didn't permit him to identify them. I don't know what CNN's policy is on that matter.

• we must conclude that CNN believes that there is no information linking Trump to Russia.

  
  That is hardly the only plausible or sound conclusion perspicacious observers may draw or posit based upon the publicly known aspects of the matter. It may, however, be all that procrustean and/or partisan observers can fathom.

We are talking about 1 story. If reporters had to resign because of bias Fox News would be a ghost town.
