    CNN has had a rough 2017 and it’s not even over yet.
    The news network has repeatedly made key errors when breaking big stories, only to get embarrassed when the facts come to light.

    Here are seven times CNN botched the news in 2017.

    Comey Testimony

    CNN ran a story on June 6 that claimed former FBI Director James Comey would use his testimony the next day to refute President Donald Trump’s claim that Comey had assured him three separate times that he was not under FBI investigation. That story was debunked the same day when Comey’s prepared remarks were released to the public, showing that Comey would actually confirm, rather than refute, Trump’s assertion....


    CNN Smears Scaramucci

    Later that month, CNN.com published, deleted, and then retracted and apologized for an article that claimed Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci was the subject of a Senate investigation for his ties to Russian bankers. After an intense public backlash, three key members of CNN’s investigative team resigned over their role in the retracted story. ...


    CNN Spreads Fake News…About Fake News!

    CNN was one of several establishment media outlets to spread fake news about a new study on Russian influence efforts in the United States. CNN cited the study, from the Oxford Internet Institute, to show that fake news targeted swing states during election week. But the study didn’t show that, as The Daily Caller first reported....


    Republican Donor Did (Not) Fund The Dossier

    CNN spread fake news to its viewers during a segment on the infamous anti-Trump dossier in October. While CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer discussed the dossier, the chyron on his show indicated that a Republican donor had initially funded the dossier. That is incorrect. ...


    Fake (Fish) News

    During President Trump’s visit to Japan last month, CNN spread two false narratives about the president. The first false narrative was that Trump committed a faux pas while feeding Japanese koi fish by impatiently pouring out his entire box of fish food....

    ...The full video, however, showed that Trump followed Abe’s lead and only dumped out his box of fish food after his host had done the same.


    Trump Is (Not) Ignorant Of Japanese Cars

    In the second false narrative that CNN spread during Trump’s Japan visit, the network took the president’s words out of context to make him appear ignorant of the fact that Japan makes cars in the United States....

    ...His remark, which CNN took seriously, appeared to be a joke.


    CNN Botches Another ‘Bombshell’

    CNN botched another “bombshell” on Friday when it reported that Donald Trump Jr. and the Trump campaign had received advanced access to stolen emails published by WikiLeaks. The network hyped the story as a bombshell for most of the day before TheDC’s Chuck Ross debunked it, revealing several serious errors with the story.

    Actually, the dossier stuff was initiated by a Republican during the primary, it was later handed off and further funded by Dems.

    McCain is the one who delivered it to the "Intelligence community". Also keep in mind that the RINO "Never-Trumpers" are still at it.

    According to the article...


    ...The opposition research firm behind the dossier, Fusion GPS, had contracted with Republican donor Paul Singer for research on candidates including Trump, but that was unrelated to the controversial dossier.


    The dossier came afterwards - the "research" was continued by the Dems.

    Only if you think the repubs started the dossier but didn't start the dossier. It's well known that the anti-trumper RINO crowd did start it. If you want to split hairs on what sentence the dems took it over, well, it's your hair.

    If the dems had been the only ones involved, the Republicans would have exposed who started it but for now it's a bit of a Mexican standoff.
