Evidently, Anthony Scaramucci didn’t get the memo about rolling over and begging for mercy from the media.
“This breakdown in editorial workflow disturbed the CNN executives who learned about it.”~~~~~~~~~~Really? “
They’re disturbed because they thought their editorial workflow hid things like this better.
Ah, you missed it, it is right in the story:
Stelter states that the retracted article did not adhere to standard editorial guidelines.
You see, it wasn't FAKE ENOUGH!
WINNING!!!
A resignation allows the employer to structure the termination in ways that are more favorable to the company -- and its shareholders. For example, in most cases, a resignation bars the employee from seeking unemployment benefits, and protects the company from wrongful termination and breach of contract claims. In addition, the resignation can be structured so that the employee waives and releases the employer from any and all claims arising under the Civil Rights Act, the Fair Labor Standards Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, Equal Pay Act, American's with Disabilities Act, etc.
It appears that they are sorry they got caught.
Eric "LickDemBalls" Lichtblau had to resign?
I'm glad you didn't advocate that the lying scumbag's teeth be beaten out of his lying face with a baseball bat...
Comet Pizza, that's it!
This was NO MISTAKE.
The CNN people are seditionists who should be introduced to the rope as soon as soon as possible.
““Thomas Frank, the reporter who wrote the story...””
I will lay money that Frank winds up on the staff of the Democrat nominee for President in 2020. That was a resume enhancer for him.
Precisely.
Note in Sean's last tweet:
One last thing @Acosta to tell Zucker. Maybe he should STOP lying about the @POTUS @FoxNews and @seanhannity using 3 stenographers ....
Sean is clearly implying that Jeff Zucker is behind this fake story when he refers to those 3 fired as "stenographers."
Mr. Zucker's days at CNN and possibly anyplace else are numbered.
I don’t know what it’s about, but OAN has been announcing that it has an important story coming up tomorrow about ‘Fake News’:
So what’s the point of submitting it?
I’d rather see Wolf Blitzer, Gloria Vanderbilt’s alleged son Anderson Cooper and John King get the heave-ho.
And throw out Shephard Smith, too. I know he’s on Fox News, but it’s only fitting. He can spend time with Cooper.
“this very fake news piece is a leftist pipe dream that seemingly originated in the annals of the office of anti-Trump “Resistance” leader Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). The idea that Scaramucci and others would be investigated for “meeting” with executives for the Russian investment fund in question is something Warren and Sen. Ben Cardin (D-MD) pushed”
I’ve been wondering myself what the whole story about this is. CNN has pushed lots of fake stories, but hasn’t fired people like this, and the CEO hasn’t gotten personally involved in investigating the screw ups prior to this. I think there’s something else about this particular story, but I don’t know enough to speculate well. Leakers revealed? Pakistani IT guys hacking? Conspiracy by Warren, et al that can be linked back directly to her (them)? Trump trap?
