After another embarrassing correction to a bombshell that blew up in their faces, CNN blamed the bogus story on an honest mistake from some “sources”:

CNN believes that its sources were just mistaken and did not want to deliberately mislead the network, @brianstelter reports. https://t.co/cOCw96gGMR pic.twitter.com/0G8AbMv30s

Donald Trump Jr., a main target of the now corrected (without apology) CNN story, isn’t buying it:
Does anyone actually believe that CNN’s democratic sources, who had all the info, were not deliberately trying to hide facts that would turn a non-story into their exact BS narrative? No one is that naive!!! I’m sure they wouldn’t lie to cover their prominent source? https://t.co/HEMuz9NRz3

I won’t hold my breath for an apology, or for you to call out your puppet masters on the left that fed you BS knowing you would gleefully run with it without ever checking the other side. Apparently it was just too good a scoop for you to actually do your job. You got played https://t.co/vnHQFd9i16

Strange that the #fakenews media never gets stories wrong in favor of Trump. It’s almost like they do it on purpose.

It certainly is interesting how mainstream media “errors” don’t seem to consistently land in both directions.
