It’s not just that the CNN report was wrong. It’s the breathless, ominous tone of the reporting and tweets by @mkraju and others, which blanketed CNN for hours. A colossal mistake, that will have far-reaching ramifications.

CNN has published a CORRECTION and updated this story. Originally CNN said the email was dated Sept. 4, based on "accounts from two sources who had seen the email." CNN now has a copy of the email, and it's dated Sept. 14, not Sept. 4. https://t.co/EpvrB43jyU

CNN has not issued a correction. https://t.co/7VKbzrmRbK
FRIENDLY REMINDER: CNN, which just published more fake news about @Wikileaks and issued another retraction, previously said that it's illegal for anyone to read Wikileaks documents, except for CNN. 'Member that one @ChrisCuomo?

CNN just changed the headline, removed Trump Jr.'s photo from the Wikileaks story, removed a tweet from him included in the story, and issued a correction about getting the date wrong too. #RIPCNN

A CNN spokeswoman says there will not be disciplinary action in this case because, unlike with Brian Ross/ABC, @MKRaju followed the editorial standards process. Multiple sources provided him with incorrect info.

If counting ammunition for Trump on his "fake news" argument to use from the past week alone: Brian Ross/Flynn/Russia, Tillerson to be fired/will resign, Trump bank records subpoenaed, Don Jr. got Wikileaks docs ahead of everyone else except ... and... am I missing anything?

I know you can’t help but spread #fakenews @cnn, but now that you know the truth you should have the decency to retract the false story, make the correction, take down the bs tweet, and apologize to the 2 or 3 people that still believe you to be credible #yourewelcome https://t.co/bjL6mSdaii
