CNN is reportedly implementing strict new rules for the network's stories regarding Russia.
CNNMoney executive editor Rich Barbieri sent out an email Saturday regarding the network's new rules after the network a day earlier issued a retraction on one of its stories.
"No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason [Farkas]," said the email, obtained by BuzzFeed News.
"This applies to social, video, editorial, and MoneyStream. No exceptions," the email added. "I will lay out a workflow Monday."
The new restrictions come after CNN on Friday retracted a story that connected Anthony Scaramucci, a prominent ally of President Trump, to a Russian investment fund managed by a Kremlin-controlled bank.
“On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund,” the news organization said in a statement.
“That story did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.”
The retracted story had claimed that Senate investigators were looking at the activities of the $10 billion Russian investment fund in connection to Scaramucci, who served on the executive committee of Trump's transition team.
A source close to CNN told BuzzFeed the incident was a "massive, massive f--k up and people will be disciplined."
I miss ‘workflow’. Clog happens.
Assuming this story was not planted by Commie News Network itself, I love this inside dope being leaked on them.
Live by the leak, die by the leak.
Now I’d like to see some leaks on that pencil-necked geek Schiff.
CNN IS a massive f—k up and has been for decades.
The Dims are slowly starting to realize that the Russian/Trump story is a loser.
It’s a loser because there is no connection between Trump and Russian. If anything, it was Hillary and Obama that was colluding with the Russians.
It’s a loser because most Americans don’t care about the story. See the results of the GA-6 for proof of this theory.
Look for the Russian/Trump story to slowly disappear in the DNC media by the end of summer. If not sooner.
Scaramucci was the wrong guy to f### with and they know it.
I hope they keep it up.
It’s become the Left’s tar baby...
More fake news circulated by Comey (D-FBI)?
obtained by BuzzFeed News. “
Let the ‘leaks’ begin!!!
“No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason [Farkas],” said the email,
Relationship of Evelyn Farkas and Jason Farkas of CNN = ?
Can Scaramucci sue them over this story?
CNN will be forced to cover the corruption otherwise known as AwanGATE.
I was wondering about that too. Probably why they withdrew the story quickly and acting contrite, even apologizing.
Bingo!
sounds like the Democrat Russian-hacking political project has just ended.
Wasn’t it that Comey professor pal who just tweeted “tick,tick,tick” on a “bombshell” against Trump that was imminent?
I wonder if this retracted story was it? Certainly the bombshell backfired, if one and the same.
If so, I missed it. I never heard who the professor was. Whoever it is, it wouldn't surprise me.
