CNN corrected it after the Carson people clarified what they meant...that he was just going home to change clothes and not going directly to New Hampshire, etc., rather than not going there at all.

When and where did CNN correct it? Please show me the link if you have it.

Cruz’s campaign sent messages shortly after CNN’s original tweet around 5pm. The CNN news report was at 6:45 so CNN was still making these claims at that point. Carson’s advisor tweeted at 7:03 that the media claim was false, and tweeted at 7:11 that Carson was going to FL for a change of clothes. That article didn’t say exactly what time it was that Carson put out his clarifying statement but given that the advisor didn’t know until 7:11 to say the FL trip was for a change of clothes, I suspect it was sometime between 7:03 and 7:11. That would have been too late for Cruz’s people to rescind what they had sent to their people at the caucus. And they would have been busy with caucus stuff.

Not so with CNN. When did they get the clarification from CArson and when did they correct their report?

And when has CNN APOLOGIZED for reporting false material? REALLY tacky for CNN to report that Cruz apologized for falsely saying the information that Cruz got from their FALSE REPORT.

Sheesh.
