FULL TITLE: Three CNN journalists RESIGN over retracted story that linked President's official to Russia: Trump Jr. calls story the 'biggest fake news scandal in the network's history'
Three CNN employees have resigned after the outlet deleted a story from its website that claimed there were possible ties between Russia and an associate of President Donald Trump.
In the wake of their resignation, Donald Trump Jr is calling for CNN's president Jeff Zucker to publicly explain, saying the story is 'the biggest fake news scandal in the network's history'.
Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau and Lex Haris were all involved in CNN's new investigative unit and left the company Monday.
Frank wrote the deleted story, Lichtblau was an editor in the unit and Haris oversaw the unit.
'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 spokesperson said.

It's bankrupting all of them but apparently the people behind most media companies don't care. I guess they think someone like Meathead will wave a magic wand and turn it all around for them to stop bleeding cash.
How the talking head crowd think they're immune to what's happening to rags like the NYT is beyond me. I mean, we're talking about losing real money, not a nickel or dime here and there.
She does not look like Jeff Zucker.
who knows, there is a lot of “gender transition” going on these days....
Maybe they can get a job with Charles Jaco...he was a good actor for the Counterfeit News Network.
I flipped over to CNN three times tonight and all three times they were talking about if the GOP Healthcare passes 22 million people will loose insurance... but don’t go on to say additional findings that the Obamacare if allowed to stay 23 million will loose their insurance. These people won’t necessary LOOSE their insurance as a result of BOP Healthcare, they just simply choose not to buy some. This false news propaganda crap is or should be illegal.
Just doing this reply while on vacation in Nassau, in the Caribbean. I like the cartoon. :-)
Go outside and soak up the ocean.
Life is short.
Cool that you can be there.
Glad you liked it. We got things covered here till you get back.
Har!
They probably already have new jobs at the NYSlimes or the Compost.
+ Turn the dog LOOSE.
+ LOSE their insurance......
Apologies if I come across like the grammar police.
I have my own issues with usage of words like here and hear.
Exactly...how is McCain conveniently being left out of this? Even Rush avoided this in his rant in this.
That analysis makes sense. Either that or CNN was threatened with a lawsuit.
grammar police.... ITS EARLY AND I AM OLD
Sacrificial lambs.
And the “leak” about future top-level review of Russia/Trump stories was most likely not a leak, but a surreptitious news release.
These three may be laughing all the way to the bank if they were given hush money to go away and shut up. Someone should ask all the parties involved if any payoffs were involved.
