However, subsequent reports from the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal refuted CNNs report, stating that the email had actually been sent 10 days later. With it becoming apparent that CNN had a major screwup on its hand, Media Twitter began railing against the network for its erroneous story.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~It took 2 full hours for them to know they were lying, nobody told them because nobody watches their FAKE NEWS!!!

UPDATE 4:25 PM ET: CNNs Brian Stelter, quoting a CNN spokesperson, noted that Raju will not face any disciplinary action over the botched report because the error came from his sources.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Does this make any sense?

Ironic that it took two hours for them to reveal that it was fake news, because I, and most Freepers knew it was fake in two seconds.
Maybe those idiots were trying to purchase cheap stocks again to raise funds for their failing enterprise.

Like the Behar hoot last week, many Libs/anti-Trumpers were hooting at this new revelation — until it was revised with the correction.
LOL
Newsies don’t even blush at these massive mistakes anymore. They just make them, correct them after they have been circulated for a while, and move on to the next one.

Suppose it was a true story?
Why would that be a “bombshell report”? Whoever got those Hillary emails into the public eye did the nation an incredible service, it certainly was not criminal if it were done by the Trump campaign - telling the truth about HRC was their job.
And the Wikileaks emails have never been alleged to be false. True information about an opposing candidate can never be a crime.

First we had Brian Ross of ABC “news” get it completely wrong.
Now we have the Clinton News Network get it completely wrong.
Who’s next out of the lying corrupt left-wing media to “mistakenly” get it wrong.

Three super gaffes in one week. These losers don’t care as long as they can smear Trump and pull it back.

I think it would be less work for CNN to simply note which reports are still accurate 24 hours after publication.

So, CNN admits they are not a news source?
Since their ‘reporter’ was not wrong, it was their ‘sources’ that erred.
MIB: Tabloids held more truth than CNN/WaPo/... etc etc etc

Releasing a statement is not a correction and the “initial reporting” was incorrect as well as the wall to wall coverage that came afterward and the other news organizations who then reported this false news that CNN started.
