CNN Quietly Deletes Story, Then Prints Retraction — But Only After Questions Are Raised

CNN has lowered its standards dramatically from its early days — all geared toward hammering President Donald Trump 24/7. Reporters now spout opinion, stories often omit facts and skew statistics, panels are stacked with liberals and former officials from president Barack Obama’s administration, and the network’s hosts are openly hostile to the Republican president (it is, after all, known as the Clinton News Network, so Hillary’s loss sent the bigwigs reeling).

Now comes another odd story about just how far CNN has fallen. The network published a story on its website on Thursday — a biggy, supposedly. The story, written by Thomas Frank, declared that Senate investigators were digging into a Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of Trump’s transition team.
