This morning's top story: CNN says sorry for making up spooky stories about Russian agents working for Trump.
Yes, apparently at least one person at CNN—probably an unpaid summer intern—still has a bit of self-respect.
According to our comrades at TASS, CNN "deleted an article connecting Antony Saramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund and apologized to the US financier."
The delicious details:
On June 22, CNN reported, quoting a source in the democratic faction of the Congress' upper house, that the Senate intelligence committee was checking the details of the meeting between US financier Anthony Scaramucci and Head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) Kirill Dmitriev Dmitriev on January 16, 2017 at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland's Davos.We can't wait for CNN to retract its entire website in six months.
"On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund," CNN wrote on its website. "That story did not meet CNN's editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci."
In January, 2017, the leading US mass media, including Washington Post and Bloomberg, reported that Trump planned to appoint Scaramucci, who used to work in the Goldman Sachs investment bank, as the White House liaison to the business community. The financier agreed to this position, according to mass media reports. However, this appointment never happened.
