The article was published on CNN’s website; it also was shared on CNN’s social media platforms. It did not air on CNN.

“In the aftermath of the retraction of a story published on CNN.com, CNN has accepted the resignations of the employees involved in the story’s publication,” a network spokesman said. The network has said management investigated and found standard editorial processes were not followed in publishing the article.

CNN’s media pundit Brian Stelter reported those “types of stories” typically are reviewed by several departments within CNN before publication. That includes fact-checkers, journalism standards experts, and lawyers.
