          Special thanks to rogue for catching these errors.

          I have your back, Rogue.
          Actually YOU put Trump in the White House. He wouldn't have gotten 1% of the vote if it wasn't for the widespread spiritual and cultural devastation caused by progressive policies. There's no "this country" left with your immigration policies, your "allies" are worthless and even more suicidal than you are and democracy is a sick joke that I hope nobody ever thinks about repeating when the current order collapses. - Darth_Executor striking a conciliatory note in Civics 101

              If you need anymore evidence that CNN is fake news:

              Bonifield said CNN CEO Jeff Zucker told his staff to get back to the Russia collusion story after they covered Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord for two days, and implied that this decision was driven by ratings.

              “All the nice cutesey ethics that used to get talked about in journalism school, you’re like: ‘That’s adorable,'” he said. “This is a business.”

                Hyperbole big time. CNN acted properly in response to their internal investigation of the problem. Your accusation of broader Fake News is unwarranted and undocumented.


                Source: http://money.cnn.com/2017/06/26/media/cnn-announcement-retracted-article/index.html



                An internal investigation by CNN management found that some standard editorial processes were not followed when the article was published, people briefed on the results of the investigation said.

                The story, which reported that Congress was investigating a "Russian investment fund with ties to Trump officials," cited a single anonymous source.

                These types of stories are typically reviewed by several departments within CNN -- including fact-checkers, journalism standards experts and lawyers -- before publication.


                This breakdown in editorial workflow disturbed the CNN executives who learned about it.
                In a staff meeting Monday afternoon, investigative unit members were told that the retraction did not mean the facts of the story were necessarily wrong. Rather, it meant that "the story wasn't solid enough to publish as-is," one of the people briefed on the investigation said.

                The reporting about the Russian investment fund and Trump officials was not relayed on CNN's television channels, but it was published on the web and shared on social media.

                On Friday, one of the people named in the story, Trump ally Anthony Scaramucci, disputed Frank's reporting and said, "I did nothing wrong."

                Friday night, once it was determined that editorial processes were not followed, CNN deleted the story from CNN.com. Soon thereafter, the story was officially retracted and replaced with an editor's note.

                The piece "did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted," the note said. "Links to the story have been disabled."

                The editor's note also included an apology to Scaramucci.

                "CNN did the right thing. Classy move. Apology accepted," Scaramucci tweeted the next morning. "Everyone makes mistakes. Moving on."

                The departures of Haris, Lichtblau and Frank are likely to come as a surprise to colleagues, particularly given the reputations of the three men.

                Frank worked for USA Today and Newsday for three decades, pursuing investigations and covering the Iraq war as an embedded reporter, before coming to work at CNN.

                He was part of an ambitious new investigative unit that was created last winter, bringing together existing teams from within the company and new hires like Lichtblau. A veteran of The New York Times who won a Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 2006, Lichtblau joined CNN just three months ago.

                Haris, who was named the executive editor of CNN Investigates in January, was previously the executive editor of CNNMoney.

                "On Friday, CNN retracted a story published by my team. As Executive Editor of that team, I have resigned," Haris said in a statement. "I've been with CNN since 2001, and am sure about one thing: This is a news organization that prizes accuracy and fairness above all else. I am leaving, but will carry those principles wherever I go."

                That my friend, is known as "damage control" and "CYA" - it is pure spin.

                IF it were the ONLY story that turned up to be fake then they might get away with this "apology" for "lack of editorial standards" but as we have seen, there are a LOT of stories revealed to be fake or exaggerated from CNN and then there is the video where the CNN producer admits on hidden camera that they are making up all the Russia stuff for ratings and actually laughs at the idea of professional journalistic standards.

                        I think the short term pain will create a more responsible press, which is something we need.

                          Jonah Goldberg also observed last week that Trump may inadvertently be helping to return the balance of power in the Federal government closer to where it should be (namely, less power in the hands of the president) and returning some decisions to the states (namely, states taking it upon themselves to honor the Paris agreement).

                            Right, I watched liberals parading around the notion that many states were honoring the agreement anyways - acting as if some sort of rebellion was in progress - whereas anyone familiar with the Constitution would be thrilled that things were working as designed. I let them celebrate the blow to the Federal Government.

                                It's not a blow to the federal government because the federal government imposes very little that is conservative on the states. You are in a situation where liberals push whatever they want on you when you're in power but get to do whatever they want when they're in power. Many things trump does as part of the executive can easily be undone by a democrat president. That's why Trump should use his power every chance he gets, while he has it, ideally to enact changes that are harder to undo by future presidents.
                                "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                                There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.
