Three CNN employees have resigned in the wake of the news outlet's retracted Russia story.
Thomas Frank, the reporter who wrote the story; Eric Lichtblau, who recently joined CNN from the New York Times; and CNN Investigates executive editor Lex Haris have left the news outlet. The Washington Post first reported the resignations, which a CNN source confirmed to BuzzFeed News.
"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," CNN said in a statement.
The deleted story, which cited a single unnamed source, claimed that the Senate Intelligence Committee was eyeing a "$10 billion Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of President Donald Trump's transition team four days before Trump's inauguration."
The story, written by investigative reporter Frank, was posted on Thursday and deleted late Friday. More than an hour after BuzzFeed News contacted CNN about the deletion, an editor's note appeared on CNN website saying that the story "did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted."
The note also apologized to Anthony Scaramucci, a member of Trump's orbit who had been named in the story (and who later tweeted that the apology was accepted).
The retraction sent CNN scrambling to deal with the fallout over the weekend, even within parts of the news operation that weren't involved in the retracted report. On Saturday, CNNMoney executive editor Rich Barbieri sent a note to staffers saying that nobody should publish any content involving Russia without coming first to him and another CNN vice president, according to the email, which was obtained by BuzzFeed News.
Sources close to the network said that CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker was involved with the internal investigation into the story's handling.

If they were the bastion of fake news you stupidly claim they are, wouldn't they keep the story up? Why would they delete fake news and fire people if they are a fake news outlet?

OP - it isn't fake news, it is a mistake. Corrected and moved on.
Please be rational for your next post OP.

Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

Good to see some accountability from CNN, hopefully others will follow suit. Don't really care which side of the political spectrum you are in.

well for one, the firings would make this story seem like an isolated incident, and CNN could be like "We're shocked that this happened this one time!". Originally Posted by I Push Buttons

Everything is fake news to some people. Unless it praises Trump in a very good light. (ironically, that is fake news. Trump hasn't done anything worthy of mass praise)

Fake news is when an individual/group or organisation deliberately creates fictional content on an on going basis for the purposes of misleading the viewers/readers. Originally Posted by newyorkerr

It's almost as if the flip side of that coin is that anything positive said about trump is fake news to some people. Originally Posted by Volardelis

I really don't know what you're on about. This is exactly how you want a responsible news organization to act when they make a mistake: Retract the article, issue an apology, and hold people accountable. Originally Posted by Zormis

Yeah - it is called a mistake, and it was corrected. Originally Posted by Vexilius
