On Monday CNN announced that they had accepted the resignation of three different employees in the wake of having to retract a false news story that the network ran late last week.
The story that CNN ran, then deleted, and finally apologized for, was completely false, and while someone deserved to be fired, these three employees were likely the wrong people to be let go. In fact, the people who should be asked to leave are likely far higher up the ladder – and are responsible for the culture at CNN that would allow such terrible reporting to published.
In fact, in recent weeks we’ve seen a handful of “bombshell” stories being reported, only to later learn that they weren’t true at all! Whether it was Trump being under investigation, or Comey telling Trump that he wasn’t under investigation, or Trump team members collaborating with Russia… all of these stories were later proven false, but there were no repercussions for the organization’s reporting the false stories. It’s unconscionable, and it’s creating an atmosphere where the American people have no faith in the media.
