I find it ironic to the point of hilarity that conservatives on this forum (whose primary news sources include 'institutions' like Fox, Breitbart, Drudge, Daily Caller, et al ad nauseum) are trashing CNN for correctly firing the authors of a discredited report.

I have no love for CNN (they are often more concerned with sensationalism than issues, & play into reality-tv-style reporting in order to boost ratings) but they at least have the integrity to admit mistakes and enforce consequences. That cannot be said for much of the false or deliberately misleading reporting done on behalf of conservative news sources. Myriad examples abound. I think Fox retracted its 1st story in nearly 20 years a few weeks ago, when they lied about Seth Rich. Hannity is still plugging that conspiracy theory on a nightly basis; yet, some folks here are casting shade on CNN for doing the right thing as if their own journalistic houses are in order. They are not.
