Well this is interesting. CNN has been reporting a story all morning on Don Jr. claiming that Wikileaks was offering the Trump campaign access to hacked emails that weren’t publicly available.

But it turns out their sources were wrong.







Watch:

Apparently there won’t be any disciplinary action:

A CNN spokeswoman says there will not be disciplinary action in this case because, unlike with Brian Ross/ABC, @MKRaju followed the editorial standards process. Multiple sources provided him with incorrect info. — Brian Stelter (@brianstelter) December 8, 2017

Here’s some twitter responses that I thought were appropriate:





“Our sources were wrong, no biggie,” is precisely why the public distrusts the media.



ABC handled their mistake correctly. CNN digging in their heels rather than apologizing is unfortunate. https://t.co/3oQdEtUnZe — Steve Krakauer (@SteveKrak) December 8, 2017
