A correction should have accompanied CNN's retraction... with an explanation on how and why the original story failed the meet CNN's nebulous "editorial standards".
Indeed.
They made a blatantly wrong accusation against Trump based on a single unverified source.
Published it as fact and suggested the President was in collusion with the Russians in a Pay for Play scheme.
Pulled the story once Breitbart called them out on it.
Didn't publish a retraction or anything else. Link to story was a redirect.
Was forced to print a "disclaimer" once called out by Buzzfeed
It was yet another on Trump by a CNN reporter. It was not "just a mistake" because of the way it was handled.
The "journalist" responsible for that article should come out and say he was wrong to publish it. But they never do this. And they complain because they no longer get to sit in the front of the press briefings.
Do Trump supporters ONLY watch Faux and read the National Enquirer?
Hmm nope.
I said many times I don't have a cable subscription so I don't watch ANY cable news. You ought to take lesson from that. The only time I see the National Enquirer is at the check out line of the grocery store. And I will say, just based on that, that even they seem to have higher standards these days than CNN.

So yet again, you are wrong.
If you don't watch CNN or read the NYTs then how can you criticize them? Do you just get your opinions about CNN and the NYTs from right-wing blogs?
I should not worry about the 'failing' New York Times. Their online subscription rate has had impressive growth, and Carlos Slim Helu, the Mexican national that owns 17 percent of the company, is cited by Bloomberg as being the sixth wealthiest man in the world, with an estimated 57 billion dollars. President Trump? Bloomberg estimates around 3 billion. Not chump change by any means, but not the vast wealth of others.
Why is that the trolls always come back with the same old one size fits all attack? Desperation? Trying to inflame fir a buck? Sick. I watch Fox, I watch CNN, I watch MSNBC, I watch local news. I watch them all. Yep I've even read Breitbart. There are elements of truth laced in between the crap in all of them. In order to get a good perspective you have to understand the crap as well as the truth. CNN is not 100% accurate and the retraction was honorable. I've yet to see a retraction in Beitbart. Has anyone seen one that I've missed? Are any of us 100% accurate? Mistakes are made. The honorable own up and admit it. The rest wallow in the crap. I wonder if the more reliable a news source is, the more it is attacked by the trolls to deflect away from the truth? That just makes sense to me.
... CNN is not 100% accurate and the retraction was honorable....
Honorable? Nope.
They printed a story that basically accused the President of the United States of a treasonable offense, without any proof or even validation of the single anonymous source they based it on.
They only pulled it when called out on it, and then it took another outfit to call them out before they even acknowledged there was even a wrong story.
They have turned themselves into a joke.
