That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted.

What standards? They have NO standards.

Very Fake News Scandal Consumes CNN as Jeff Zucker, Network Refuse to Comment on Russia Retraction

Great strategy. I'm sure it will work, since CNN has no competition.

“That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted...”

Wasn't FAKE enough.

"...Links to the story have been disabled."

But the story is still on their webserver so they can read it while fondling themselves.

....the Treasury Department looked into the matter and determined unfounded allegations that originated with far-left-wing Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) to be “without merit...

Did we hear an apology from Warren?
Fake, just like all the other allegations by Fauxcahontas and her tribe in the Democrat Party.

Dooley told Breitbart News. “I am really beginning to wonder if Baghdad Bob is calling the shots at CNN. Jeff Zucker should definitely answer questions about the lack of journalistic integrity at CNN.”

CNN's eliminating themselves from competition... News organization suicide?

“Jeff Zucker, Network Refuse to Comment on Russia Retraction”

Zucker is doing exactly what Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein should have done when the media and Dems were demanding he appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the Russian campaign interference allegations.

In todays 24/7 spin cycle most demands burn out after 3-4 days if they aren’t responded to. The Democrats (Hillary, Eric Holder, Obama, Lois Lerner, Podesta, Susan Rice, Loretta Lynch) have all demonstrated the best way to handle a firestorm is to ignore it and stonewall. If you don’t feed the frenzy, the firestorm will end and the reporters will move on to the next story. Zucker knows by the end of this week the CNN “scandal” will be out of the headlines and in 2 weeks will be forgotten.

When will Republicans learn? Can’t the RNC hire a first rate public relations person to manage the news cycle?

Here's what Time Warner needs to do: fire Jeff Zucker immediately. Zucker created a mess at NBC over how they handled the replacement for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show and now made people intensely distrust CNN.

“VERY fake news”

ya gotta love it!

“fake news” is no longer sufficient to describe the daily fake news from CNN/WaPo/NYT, since ALL news from them is fake news.

Nope, it is necessary to come up with a special, NEW term, “VERY fake news”, to describe exceptionally fake news!

Kudos to CNN for publishing fake news that’s SO fake that a whole new phrase must be added to the English language just for CNN!
