CNN, in its daily effort to discredit President Trump, hastily published a leak from Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee that turned out to be false. CNN initially claimed that someone emailed Donald Trump, Jr. a link to a Wikileaks DNC dump on September 4, 2016. CNN said this information was based on “accounts from two sources who had seen the email.” Those sources obviously were Democrat committee members or staffers; Donald Jr. testified about the email before the Intelligence Committee on Wednesday.
CNN attributed significance to the email because it allegedly was dated September 4, nine days before the Wikileaks documents in question were made public. But–oops–the Democrats misinformed CNN. The email is actually dated September 14, the day after the documents were released. So a Trump supporter was simply trying to call the Trump campaign’s attention to publicly-available documents.
CNN has shamefacedly corrected its story, which it also trumpeted on television:
It’s another black mark for CNN. I have said before that CNN should abandon all of its television programming, and simply fill the screen with a sign that says, “We hate President Trump.” That would save a lot of trouble, and avoid quite a few factual errors.

CNN is Zucked again...
Fakenews
Drive by media.
And NONE of this will ever be covered in classrooms as McCarthyism is.
Conveniently on a Friday.
“Conveniently on a Friday.”
Just another coincidence, I’m sure”.
hmmmm
I wonder how much of this ‘info’ is being spread like fine fertilizer from a brand new honey wagon by the PRESIDENT TRUMP camp, — if not himself.
These clowns are so ‘hungry’ to put the man down that they will use anything....
There has to be a point where CNN and ABC get their broadcasting licenses revoked.
It’s hard to believe CNN is still on the air. I’m not sure how they get away with all the lies and slander and not be held responsible.

McCarthyism is not.
McCarthy was by far the finest man in Congress in his time.
Lies are all you will hear about McCarthy.
His every accusation was born out by the Soviet archives.

I know. My question, I digress, but why is CNN on all the TV’s at airport terminal gates?
I went to Firestone for an oil change and the TV no longer plays the News. They show programs like Counting Cars now.
True, that. They ceased to "serve the public interest" decades ago. Today they are a threat to the republic.
I have no idea. I stopped flying and don’t miss it.
I do miss it. But can’t stand the TSA. Thieves Stealers Assaulters
At least make them go back to the basics like traffic and weather. Once they can do that competently branch out to easy baking recipes or couponing.
Spiro Agnew called it correctly when speaking to California Republican state convention about the media on September 11, 1970: “In the United States today, we have more than our share of the nattering nabobs of negativism. They have formed their own 4-H Club — the ‘hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history.’”
CNN is a mess.
Their ratings are abysmal and their reputation is a joke.
No matter outcome of the AT&T/Time Warner merger, someone is going to have fire everyone at CNN and start over.
There really is no need to lie about CNN.
They have never even heard of shame, let alone feel it.
