CNN — the network leading the crusade against the nefarious and vaguely defined “fake news” that Donald Trump supposedly rode to victory over the woman whose name is now forever associated with the “Clinton News Network” — has had some fake news problems of its own. Last week, another CNN “bombshell” Russiagate report imploded; after the network was called out for quietly pulling the story, the ratings-challenged network appears to be clamping down on its coverage of the Trump-Russia conspiracy theory.
The Daily Wire‘s Joseph Curl chronicled CNN’s quiet deletion of its story followed by its forced retraction: On Thursday, CNN published a story written by Thomas Frank, based on a — you guessed it — single, unnamed source, claiming Senate investigators were looking into the connection between a member of Donald Trump’s transition team and a $10-billion Russian investment fund based on some meeting that supposedly happened just four days before Trump’s inauguration.
