Re: 3 CNN staffers fired after latest Fake News incident.
Lol...all "Russia related" stories must now be cleared through senior CNN executives.
"CNNMoney Executive Editor Rich Barbieri has sent an internal memo to all staff instructing them that all Russia-related stories must be cleared by him or another high-ranking executive, following a Breitbart News investigation which forced the retraction of a fake news story claiming the U.S. Senate was investigating an associate of President Donald Trump for alleged ties to Russia."

Re: 3 CNN staffers fired after latest Fake News incident.
"The scandal surrounding CNN’s mishandling of a very fake news hit piece on President Donald Trump and his associates grows bigger on Sunday night as the network’s president Jeff Zucker and public relations team are refusing to comment to anyone — even to CNN media reporter Brian Stelter — about what happened."

That's how the media is supposed to work. When a story is not true, retraction must be issued. These resignations are an even higher bar.USN_Hokie wrote:http://www.politico.com/blogs/on-media/ ... cci-239975

No. This is certainly NOT how the media is supposed to work. CNN is fake news, and here's one of their producers admitting they air bullshit.VisorBoy wrote:That's how the media is supposed to work.

Project Veritas Undercover Investigation: CNN Producer Admits Network Hyping ‘Mostly Bullsh*t’ Trump-Russia Scandal for ‘Ratings’
Project Veritas: CNN producer
Project Veritas/YouTube
by Matthew Boyle26 Jun 2017Washington, D.C. 3,274
James O’Keefe’s Project Veritas has struck again: This time, a senior CNN producer was caught on camera by one of O’Keefe’s investigators admitting that the network’s relentless bashing of President Donald Trump with the Russia scandal lacks proof.
“Could be bullshit. I mean, it’s mostly bullshit right now,”
the CNN producer, John Bonifield, said in a video O’Keefe’s Project Veritas released on Tuesday, when asked about his thoughts on the Russia investigation.
“Like, we don’t have any giant proof. Then they say, well there’s still an investigation going on. And you’re like, yeah, I don’t know. If they were finding something we would know about it. The way these leaks happen, they would leak it. They’d leak. If it was something really good, it would leak…. The leaks keep leaking and there’s so many great leaks, and it’s amazing. I just refuse to believe that if they had something really good like that that wouldn’t leak because we’ve been getting all these other leaks. So, I just feel like they don’t really have it but they want to keep digging. And so I think the president is probably right to say, like, look you are witch hunting me. You have no smoking gun. You have no real proof.”

Re: 3 CNN staffers fired after latest Fake News incident.
Can't wait for the tweetstorm after Trump sees the Veritas video. I almost feel a little sorry for that producer. This was one of O'Keefe's less blue ballsy moments. Timing is great because the Producer says Zucker wanted more Russia just after CNN made 3 folks leave for fake Russia news.
