cnn is crumbling! The "Kill Trump" network is rapidly becoming a shell of what it once was... I used to consider it my go-to news outlet... until they decided that ratings were more important than fulfilling their role within the 4th Estate... A role our forefathers revered so much, it was included in our 1st Amendment.. Over just this one story, 3 high level staffers were terminated[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9aDPxaT8dHs]

Last Thursday, CNN posted on its web site, that Anthony Scaramucci, a Trump transition team member, had met with a Russian investment fund.

On Friday, CNN took the story down, fired the three reporters who were involved, and apologized to Anthony Scaramucci, after it determined that the journalists acted with haste, and did not follow procedure.

CNN never aired the story on its cable channel, and they took the proper, corrective action, immediately.

This is not fake news, this is honest news.

Can you name an alt-right channel that ever corrected any of its fantastical lies?

How about the President. Has he ever corrected any of his lies?

How about Fox News?

@Northwest: A news organization takes efforts to corroborate it's accuracy of it's news... cnn: It started when cnn started hyping the trayvon / zimmerman situation where tapper and cuomo called for violence... on a gin'd up platform.. they still can't explain Donna Brazile (of cnn) feeding questions to the Killary Kamp...nor do they fess up to Gloria Borger and her leaked emails.. Please share with us the FOX News errors...

@williemcd: Yes, of course a news organization vets its sources, and every once in a while, in the age of the Internet, a web story may not be properly vetted. This is why they fired the three reporters involved, apologized and immediately pulled the story.

Tapper and Cuomo calling for violence?

As to the issue of FOX news errors, are you kidding me? Of course it takes someone who's willing to see it like it is to see it like it is. For people like you, good thing there are organizations out there that keep track of this stuff: http://www.politifact.com/punditfact/tv/fox/

@Northwest:next you'll source snopes!

@williemcd: politifact fact checks on the right and left. Just because it does not fit your narrative, does not make it less accurate.

Yea.. and politifacts declared hillary and timmy as the most honest politicians in the 2016 race....When killary would make pinocchio look like a saint...

@williemcd: It's a relative thing, isn't it? There were two finalists in 2016, and Hillary wins it, hands down, relative to Trump.

Politifacts gave Romney 19 "Pants on fire" in 2 years..........but only gave the whole democrat party 25 POF in 10 years! BUt... talking to you?

@williemcd: Just what I expected. Nothing.

Funny... you use as a source to counter a debate ABOUT the credibility of the SOURCE! What color is the sky in your world! Responding to that dribble is senseless.
