As Twitchy told you earlier today, another CNN “bombshell” about Trump blew up in their faces, and hours later they corrected the story:
UPDATE: CNN admitted that their apple was in fact a banana — eventually: https://t.co/d76A5QlKa9

CBS News was also running with that same #FakeNews ball:
NEW: Donald Trump Jr. was offered access to hacked Democratic data during campaign. A source who received the email in question tells CBS News there were about 20 people cc'd on the email. https://t.co/wIfYc2SQTs pic.twitter.com/NjADeycV19

Later, the truth came out, and here’s how CBS News let everybody know it was a total nothingburger:
MORE: The September email to Donald Trump Jr. highlighted information that was already public https://t.co/Xc2n7LiCUp

“MORE”?

LMAO @ "more". How is this "more" and not a correction? It's like you do it to yourselves https://t.co/WnvS9CE955

This isn't "MORE", it should be "CORRECTION". @DonaldJTrumpJr#FakeNews https://t.co/gmWJ0zuz0j

So this is a CORRECTION!

Yeah, “correction” is a few more letters than “more” but maybe nobody told CBS News about Twitter’s new 280 characters thing.
Another correction. Great job, media professionals. https://t.co/KhPQtR19Wf

This editor’s note now leads off CBS’s story, which is now a huge non-story:
