CNN has become the poster boy for fake news - the latest from BuzzFeed:
CNN Deleted A Story Linking Trump And Russia, Then Issued A Retraction After Questions Were Raised
CNN late Friday deleted a story from its website that claimed Senate investigators were looking into a Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of President Trump’s transition team, later issuing a retraction in the story's place.
The now-deleted story, by investigative reporter Thomas Frank, was published Thursday and cited a single, unnamed source who claimed that the Senate Intelligence Committee was looking into a "$10-billion Russian investment fund whose chief executive met with a member of President Donald Trump's transition team four days before Trump's inauguration."
But by Friday evening, the story had vanished from CNN's website. It was not immediately clear when the story was removed, but a tweet linking to the story, from CNN's Politics account, was also deleted sometime Friday evening.
The Russians were never involved - it was a fabrication by the Democrats to justify surveillance of the Trump campaign. Of course, the Russians were great friends to the Obama administration and Hillary was very much on board too.
