Donald Trump Celebrates Resignation Of CNN Journalists Over Retracted Russia Report
President Donald Trump took to Twitter this morning to celebrate the resignations of three CNN journalists over a retracted online report about a Russia investment fund and to wish same on broadcast network news operations and NYT and WaPo:
Wow, CNN had to retract big story on "Russia," with 3 employees forced to resign. What about all the other phony stories they do? FAKE NEWS!

Fake News CNN is looking at big management changes now that they got caught falsely pushing their phony Russian stories. Ratings way down!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 27, 2017
So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!

CNN issued a strong, if grammar-challenged, response to Trump’s Twitter Happy Dance:
CNN just posted it's most-watched second quarter in history. Those are the facts.

Before Trump’s latest Twitter storm, the subject of the pulled CNN report, Trump surrogate Anthony Scaramucci had tweeted of CNN’s retraction:
.@CNN did the right thing. Classy move. Apology accepted. Everyone makes mistakes. Moving on. https://t.co/lyVajCKNHx
