CNN Employees Resign Over Retracted Story on Russia Ties (http://www.thewrap.com/three-cnn-employees-resign-retracted-story-russia-ties/)
Three CNN employees have handed in their resignations over a retracted story linking President Trump to Russia, the network announced Monday.
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 resignation of the employees involved in the story’s publication,” a network spokesperson told TheWrap in a statement.
On Thursday, CNN investigative reporter Thomas Frank published a story involving an investigation into a Russian investment fund with possible ties to several Trump associates.
According to the network, an internal investigation found that “some standard editorial processes were not followed when the article was published.”
Citing a single unnamed source, the story reported that Congress was investigating a “Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials.”
CNN explained Monday that “these types of stories” usually would go through several departments, including fact-checkers, journalism standards experts and lawyers.
But the network says there was a “breakdown in editorial workflow” which “disturbed the CNN executives who learned about it.”
The network’s investigative unit was told during a meeting on Monday that the retraction did not necessarily mean the facts of the story were wrong. But, rather, “the story wasn’t solid enough to publish as-is,” according CNN.com.

Hmm...why not apply the same journalistic acid test to Climate Hoaxing & Transgendered Faggotinia??

Yeah...right!!!
"...the retraction did not necessarily mean the facts of the story were wrong. But, rather, 'the story wasn’t solid enough to publish as-is,' "
::saywhat:: ::hysterical::
It was solid enough to run with because it was anti-Trump!
They have ZERO integrity on ANY story because they lie to protect their own and the lie to destroy everybody else...they should all be dangling from streetlights...if people had an ounce of the Founders principles flowing through their veins!

"I mean, it's mostly bullsh*t right now," Bonifield says. "Like, we don't have any giant proof."
"It's a business, people are like the media has an ethical phssssss... All the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school you're just like, that's adorable. That's adorable. This is a business."
"...let's get back to Russia."

It's a business? No, it's a political agenda executed by political operatives...it is a propaganda organ and an instrument to gin up hate, divide the American people...all with the goal of keeping progressives in power for perpetuity, period.
It is Un-American, it is Anti-Liberty and it is Pure Evil...it should be utterly destroyed.
PS - I guess this answers the question as to what this was all about (http://itsaboutliberty.com/index.php?topic=15086.0).

O'Keefe strikes again! (http://www.veritaslive.com/06-26-2017/americanpravdacnn.html)
(NEW YORK) -- Project Veritas has released a video of CNN Producer John Bonifield who was caught on hidden-camera admitting that there is no proof to CNN's Russia narrative.
"I mean, it's mostly bullsh*t right now," Bonifield says. "Like, we don't have any giant proof."
He confirms that the driving factor at CNN is ratings:
"It's a business, people are like the media has an ethical phssssss... All the nice cutesy little ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school you're just like, that's adorable. That's adorable. This is a business."

And, as a result of this journalistic malpractice...a man, motivated by the story line of treason by Trump & the Republicans, opened fire & shot members of Congress.
I think that deserves a public bludgeoning: a beat down so severe that it both incapacitates the targeted individual & silences ANY in the media from presenting creative fiction as "news".
