Remember the story that CNN did on Anthony Scaramucci which they later retracted and then fired 3 Reporters?

Well, the NY Times says that since that story, CNN's investigative team has been told to leave the Russia story to CNN’s Washington correspondents.

The Times writes, "In the weeks since the story was retracted, the investigative team has been reshaped and redirected. Its members were told they should not report on perhaps the most compelling political story of the year: potential ties between the Trump administration and Russia. That subject is now largely handled by CNN’s reporting team in Washington. The political whizzes of KFile, a group of Internet-savvy reporters poached from BuzzFeed that was untainted by the retraction, were transferred out of the investigative team."

The paper then says, "The retracted story and ignominious exits of three prominent journalists was an embarrassing episode for CNN, particularly at a time when there was widespread mistrust in the media and Mr. Trump was regularly attacking the press. Two months later it remains an illuminating chapter in the network’s effort to carry out the meticulous, time-consuming work of investigative journalism within the fast-paced, ratings-driven world of 24-hour cable news.

CNN has misstepped so many times, the network is now looked at more as the punchline of a joke, then it is for news coverage.

It's sad to see what has happened to a once great TV network that has now lost it's way.
