The Fox people did not get fired for LYING - and making up fake news

The idiot reporters played right into Trump's hands.

No, most got fired for sexual harassment - which

the grabber very much approves of. I see it as a very positive thing that CNN holds its journalists accountable--unlike Fox and Breitbart and every other conservative rag.
The reporters made up the news and - gave credibility to Trump's fake news claim

Just keep listening to CNN so left wingnuts can justify their hate for Trump even if they have to make up anti-Trump stories to keep lefty loser's attention.
Please show me where it said the reporters - made up the story. nm

Thomas Frank, who wrote the story in question; Eric Lichtblau, an editor in the unit; and Lex Haris, who oversaw the unit, have all left CNN.

"In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignations of the employees involved in the story's publication," a spokesman said Monday evening.

An internal investigation by CNN management found that some standard editorial processes were not followed when the article was published, people briefed on the results of the investigation said.

The story, which reported that Congress was investigating a "Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials," cited a single anonymous source.

These types of stories are typically reviewed by several departments within CNN -- including fact-checkers, journalism standards experts and lawyers -- before publication.

This breakdown in editorial workflow disturbed the CNN executives who learned about it.

In a staff meeting Monday afternoon, investigative unit members were told that the retraction did not mean the facts of the story were necessarily wrong. Rather, it meant that "the story wasn't solid enough to publish as-is," one of the people briefed on the investigation said.

The reporting about the Russian investment fund and Trump officials was not relayed on CNN's television channels, but it was published on the web and shared on social media.

On Friday, one of the people named in the story, Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci, disputed Frank's reporting and said, "I did nothing wrong."

Friday night, once it was determined that editorial processes were not followed, CNN deleted the story from CNN.com. Soon thereafter, the story was officially retracted and replaced with an editor's note.

The piece "did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted," the note said. "Links to the story have been disabled."

The editor's note also included an apology to Scaramucci.



If these reporters didn't do a fake story, then tell me why CNN apologized to Anthony Scaramucci? They usually don't retract stories but I guess it's getting too hot for CNN to keep on going with "loosely reported truth" stories. Anonymous sources doesn't work, especially like CNN stated they used ONE anonymous source. I guess CNN couldn't even verify the source so fake story it is.

Love it. Fake News exposed. - CNN and MSNBC are proven liars

[ In Reply To ..]

So much for anonymous sources.  I always discredited any anonymous source story.  I actually thought anonymous sources may be the reporters imaginary friend created to have a story they did not otherwise have.


"Three journalists from CNN’s investigative unit are leaving the network after the retraction of their June 22 story connecting an ally of President Trump to a Russian investment fund."



"The story, citing an anonymous source, said Senate investigators were examining a meeting between Wall Street financier Anthony Scaramucci and an executive for the Russian Direct Investment Fund. The $10-billion fund makes direct investments in Russian companies."


 

MSNBC? - Where is that

It's an anti-Trump way of getting ratings. They want to keep left wingnuts attention so they spew anything that will keep the leftie loser's hate going.
I suppose you believe all the right-winged - rags though.

What am I watching and learning?

They did not say the story was not true. - Scaramucci said it wasn't

[ In Reply To ..]
true but CNN did not say it wasn't true. Of course Scaramucci would say it isn't true even if it was. There just wasn't enough evidence to write the story. The reporters were not fired, they resigned.

As far as not believing something that uses anonymous sources, you apparently don't know that much of news is through anonymous sources. Whistle blowers are very fearful of their names being thrown out there.

You really don't know it is fake news. All you know is the story was pulled.

Why do you suppose the story was pulled - and 3 CNN reporters let go?

[ In Reply To ..]
I know if a story is pulled and 3 reporters let go there is a good chance it was fake news. Cling to the fantasy that the story was pulled not for lies but a CNN whim and 3 reporters are gone not for lies but they wanted the notoriety to get fame and a better job.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Pay no attention to facts, lose any common sense and just keep dreaming that CNN is an upstanding news organization. Anonymous sources are always upstanding citizens and they go to CNN to report their "legit" story. LOL
Apparently you didn't pay attention to facts. - They weren't fired, they resigned.
[ In Reply To ..]
Where did it say the story wasn't true? The article said it was pulled because because it did not have significant evidence that it was true but didn't say it wasn't true.

I don't dream about any of them but I do know how to read a story.
Did you ever hear of the option of resign - or be fired? Usually in high powered jobs
[ In Reply To ..]
Dream on in left-wing lala-land.

Reporters resigned why? Wanted a job at McDonalds?

Story did not have "significant evidence it was true" but CNN "didn't say it wasn't true." Do you really think CNN is going to tell their viewers some reporters made up a story from an anonymous source.

How much double talk do you lefties actually entertain. When will logic kick in? Story cannot be proven and 3 reporters are gone equals ???
Do you work at CNN? Seems you know - an awful lot, according
[ In Reply To ..]
to you and your crystal ball.
There is no crystal ball involved. Just facts - logic and common sense
[ In Reply To ..]
which from posts on this thread seems to be lacking in leftie losers. Maybe Trump hatred clouds any common sense and/or logic the lefties may have had.
You mean "alternative facts" - LMT
