CNN has accepted the resignations of multiple employees who were involved with the network’s retracted story that supposedly tied the Trump Administration to the Senate’s investigation into Russia.
CNN is facing blowback over an erroneous report which claimed that former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was connected to a $10 billion Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF). The network pulled the story over the weekend, and they have issued new editorial rules for future content about the ongoing probes into Russia’s election interference.
The Washington Post‘s Erik Wemple was first to report that three people have tended their resignations in the aftermath of the affair: Thomas Frank, the reporter who wrote the story, Eric Lichtblau, DC editor of the CNN Investigative Team, and Lex Haris of “CNN Investigates.”
CNN’s management has launched an internal investigation to review the incident, and Stelter states that the retracted article did not adhere to standard editorial guidelines.

Ah yes Thomas Frank. The reason I no longer subscribe to the Wall Street Journal. He has a Ph.D. in history from the University of Chicago and as a contributor editor (or writer)
wrote a very favorable almost fawning article about Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn in the WSJ. After that I was done with that paper.
You betcha! :)
Winning.....
LOL - fired, right. Where are they working tomorrow? A Soros outfit? MSNBC? Washington Post? New York Times? DNC staffer? We know all of these guys are completely interchangeable and looked after.
In other news, Buzzfeed just added three staffers.
I’m very surprised CNN did not promote all three to Head of Propaganda
Department.
Reign before being fired.
Who in the h3ll will these people make a living? Lies By The Word for huffpo when not asking “do you want extra foam in that latte?”
Damn fake news all the time. They have no credibility.
Screw You fake News. I hope they sue the asses off of CNN. The criminal news network.
In other news, CNN internal polling has the democrat party leading all others in th 2020 election cycle by 37 %
Maybe they could replace it with a story about Clinton Foundation/State Department/Russian Uranium. That might interest some viewers.
How long before Trump is accused of having a “chilling effect” ..... ?
OK, now tell us who was the source of the lies.
Only three in trouble for made up news? Three?
They can run but they cannot hide, think of the treasure trove of info Trump netted clearing out Comey’s office...
Years after the Clinton Mafia secured the 900 plus files from the FBI a LOT of names from both sides of the aisle were compromised
Watch which pigs squeal as The Don tightens the noose, they are playing like children in a mans game
And yes the Clinton’s are tied into the International Crime Syndicate deeply, Illuminati level
Soros and many others have lots of chips on the table that they are looking at losing now and Trump gathers more intel daily. All of the whining about when the scalps are collected should be patient, this is International and we were the bank.
Were, now it is closed....
The circus will begin soon enough and will take your breath away, DT is not faint of heart and he plays for keeps
Semper Fi!!
