WASHINGTON -- A CNN journalist who resigned this week, after the network retracted a story about Russia and President Donald Trump's transition team, is a Syracuse native with strong ties to the region.
Eric Lichtblau, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, is a graduate of Jamesville-DeWitt High School and Cornell University. He began his journalism career at The Post-Standard, where he covered the Ithaca region for the newspaper.
Lichtblau was thrust into the national spotlight after he and two other CNN journalists resigned, prompting Trump to blast the journalists and the network on Tuesday for reporting "fake news."
The story was posted on CNN's website Thursday, but removed by Friday night. The network also apologized to Anthony Scaramucci, a member of the Trump transition team who the CNN report said was involved in the meeting with the Russian investment fund.
After the article was posted online, CNN executives determined the report did not meet the network's editorial standards for publication.
The others who resigned with Lichtblau were reporter Thomas Frank, and Lex Harris, head of the CNN investigations unit

I actually know him slightly. He’s a twerp.
Ah, Cornell - the cradle of liberalism. I was there for four years and completely miserable.

You too? The place is a meatgrinder. I saw it chew up and spit out friends of mine. I did OK but the place is merciless to the weak or gentle of spirit.
Thanks.
Isn’t the internet great.
We can make any liberal news into a reality piece.

Yes we can. 👍
I’m a J-D grad, class of ‘73.
It’s a start. It will be tough for CNN to purge all the liars from their cesspool. Scummiest cesspool areas around the fringes of the swamp. Deep swamp has bigger creatures/collectivists/$cumbags.
Heheheh...I KNEW that would be posted...appropriately!
Eric Lichtblau is an agenda-driven ‘movement leftist’ who has been creating and publishing leftist lies and fake news throughout his entire career, with the goal of advancing America’s circling of the toilet bowl ever closer to the progressive dystopia of his dreams.
Undoubtedly views his own role in this ugly incident as a badge of honor.
Cornell: The birthplace of Hanoi’s most successful propaganda group, Prof. George McT. Kahin’s Southeast Asian Studies Program of the 1960’s and 70’s.
McT’s own background in Indonesia needs a thorough security vetting. It explains a lot of what happened at Cornell.
All I need to say about the Hanoi Disinformation group is D. Gareth Gary Porter and friends, traitors to America and the people of Indochina.
Been there, saw that.
