    You know that some interior design firm came up with the motif. I have been around enough commercial construction to have seen this type of thing before. Truly, a non story. I am disappointed if this the best they can do.

    Worse, but that's not saying Fox News is doing the right thing either.

    I'm not having the problem with this that some of you are, seems to me they're setting the correct standard.

    You find out your employees have reported a fake news story you remove the story and fire the employees.

    They resigned and said some bullshit like "this isn't up to CNN standards". One was pullitzer prize winner and other was nominee. Come on son, CNN has been doing this shit for a while, them resigning was just saving their own asses and acting like CNN actually has standards. The media is controlled. It's not real journalism and not a good source of real news. It's all about ratings and bias opinion depending on which network it is. Real journalism is dead

    They all need to be fired by that standard.

    CNN faced $100M lawsuit over botched Russia story

    The specter of a $100 million libel suit scared CNN into retracting a poorly reported story that slimed an ally of President Trump’s — and forcing out the staffers responsible for it, The Post has learned.

    The cable network’s coverage of Trump transition team member Anthony Scaramucci came amid federal scrutiny of corporate parent Time Warner’s pending purchase by AT&T — and the widespread belief among media execs that CNN President Jeff Zucker can’t survive a merger.

    CNN immediately caved after Scaramucci, a financier and frequent network guest, cried foul and threatened to take legal action, sources said Tuesday.

    The last 30 days have been nothing short of a public relations nightmare for CNN.

    The network is reeling after a brutal stretch that has seen two hosts taken off-air, one story retracted and another rewritten, accusations of staged protests, the resignations of three key employees and most recently, an ongoing series of undercover videos meant to portray CNN as misleading the public about the Trump-Russia stories that have dominated media coverage of the president so far.

    The swamp is draining, one liar at a time. Perhaps the pace is quickening.
