Who knew CNN had standards? After the Very Fake News network was caught utterly fabricating a story in which they linked Trump associate Anthony Scaramucci to a Kremlin-controlled investment fund – a story which was completely false.
Upon being called out for peddling fiction – perhaps because they would 100% lose in court – the network pulled the story, issued an Editor’s note stating that the article didn’t “meet CNN’s editorial standards” (lol), and fired three people involved with it’s publication.

Hilariously, Washington Post’s criticism includes the fact that CNN only used one anonymous source vs. the cadre of mysterious insiders they consistently pull out of their ass.
Reporter Thomas Frank, editor Eric Lichtblau, and the executive editor of “CNN Investigates,” Lex Haris were all fired as a result.
“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
ONE CNN source told the Washington Post Regarding the personnel changes “The individuals all stated that they accepted responsibility and wanted to resign.”
Anthony Scaramucci, the target of CNN’s hit piece, approves:
.@CNN did the right thing. Classy move. Apology accepted. Everyone makes mistakes. Moving on. https://t.co/lyVajCKNHx

Paradox – Can CNN be trusted to report on CNN's fake news?

This stunt won’t win CNN credibility.
People are comparing Trump to Mussolini and here I am wishing Trump was more like Mussolini.
