FULL TITLE: Three CNN journalists RESIGN over retracted story that linked President's official to Russia: Trump Jr. calls story the 'biggest fake news scandal in the network's history'

Three CNN employees have resigned after the outlet deleted a story from its website that claimed there were possible ties between Russia and an associate of President Donald Trump.

In the wake of their resignation, Donald Trump Jr is calling for CNN's president Jeff Zucker to publicly explain, saying the story is 'the biggest fake news scandal in the network's history'.

Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau and Lex Haris were all involved in CNN's new investigative unit and left the company Monday.

Frank wrote the deleted story, Lichtblau was an editor in the unit and Haris oversaw the unit.

'In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignations of the employees involved in the story's publication,' a spokesperson said.

So are they going to show up at the New York Times or the Washington Post? Maybe NBC will hire them to work with MeGyn Kelly.

....Haris said....’I’ve been with CNN since 2001, and am sure about one thing: This is a news organization that prizes accuracy and fairness above all else. I am leaving, but will carry those principles wherever I go.””

MSNBC, CNBC, HLN, any other alphabet network, and Bloomberg can use “talent” like these guys.

Probably more about getting rid of people who were with CNN because they had connections through the Hillary machine than about the article. They've run so many lies about Russia stuff this is nothing out of the ordinary for them. Hillary is fading fast as a force for them to consider, though.

That’s along the lines of my thinking as well....but I also think CNN waited too long and too late now.....there’s a whole lot more going on we don’t know about that’s connecting MSM with Hillary and Obama’s people....top to bottom....and it’s not just CNN......so many of the news people are married to or related in someway with these politicians throughout the government so we’re going to see alot more discovery along the way here.
