Hours after publishing a bombshell report claiming members of the Trump campaign and Trump Organization including then-candidate Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr. had received an email from WikiLeaks providing a decryption key and website address to hacked content, CNN has issued a correction noting that it got the date of the email incorrect.
Below is the correction from the CNN report:
Correction: This story has been corrected to say the date of the email was September 14, 2016, not September 4, 2016. The story also changed the headline and removed a tweet from Donald Trump Jr., who posted a message about WikiLeaks on September 4, 2016.
CNN Communications also tweeted out an explanation:
CNN's initial reporting of the date on an email sent to members of the Trump campaign about Wikileaks documents, which was confirmed by two sources to CNN, was incorrect. We have updated our story to include the correct date, and present the proper context for the timing of email

Dont forget the huge Bloomberg story on Tuesday about Trump Deutschland bank subpoena that was retracted. Three massive botches.

This is September 14th...
They know that the false story, which got far more air time than the correction, is out on the internet forever. Any search for the incident will get lots of hits to the incorrect story. I think that the dishonest media does this on purpose.
Just reading that got me excited. Please oh please let it come to pass.

let me slightly clarify mediaite’s lead sentence:
Hours after publishing a FAKE bombshell report claiming members of the Trump campaign and Trump Organization had received an email from WikiLeaks providing a decryption key and website address to hacked content ... Very Fake News CNN has issued a correction noting that it got the date of the email incorrect ... BECAUSE Washington Post published an article explaining why Very Fake News CNN’s FAKE bombshell was fake ...
“Like the Behar hoot last week, many Libs/anti-Trumpers were hooting at this new revelation until it was revised with the correction.”
right. first ABC’s fake “we finally took down trump”, and then bloomberg’s “we finally took down trump”, and then CNN’s “we finally took down trump”, all within a week and all retracted within hours.
I wonder how exhausted all of the dancing uber-leftists are from being whipsawed by these “we finally took down trump” fake news stories being retracted? i bet there will be a new syndrome genned up for this type of exhaustion, something like “Retracted Fake Get-Trump Exhaustion”.
Now, that’s funny!
Wasn’t incorrect, it was fake.
Remember this?
SJWs always*project*.
And they all keep moaning about the term “Fake News” - ironic....
That’s just a white supremacist./s
