Busted! CNN admits ‘fake news’, retracts story

June 26, 2017

On Thursday, CNN published an explosive story linking a top advisor of President Donald Trump to Russia — the latest attack from the biased media giant.

There’s only one issue: It wasn’t true.

Last week yet another ‘fake news’ story from the mainstream media network further muddied CNN’s already soiled reputation… and this time, it was a step too far for the bosses.

On Friday, insiders say the network bosses was in a panic and tried to delete the story and erase all traces of it from the internet.

By Saturday, top executives in the company started taking extreme steps to reign in their out-of-control reports, and ordered their reporters to follow strict new rules regarding their treatment of Trump and the Russian hacking story.

An internal email leaked online shows just how upset executives were.

“The email went out at 11:21 a.m. on Saturday from Rich Barbieri, the CNNMoney executive editor, saying ‘No one should publish any content involving Russia without coming to me and Jason [Farkas],’ a CNN vice president,” according to Buzzfeed. ‘This applied to social, video, editorial, and MoneyStream. No exceptions,’ the email added. ‘I will lay out a workflow Monday.'”

The crackdown comes from a falsified story connecting Anthony Scaramucci, a prominent political ally of Trump, to a Russian investment fund managed by a Kremlin-controlled bank.

In the story’s place on CNN’s website is a simple editors apology, which reads:

On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund.

That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.
