"Oh thank you, CNN, thank you so much," Trump said during a rally in Pensacola, Fla., touting accomplishments during his tenure and blasting media outlets.

"You should have been apologizing for the last two years," Trump added to cheers.

Hours earlier, CNN issued a correction to a Friday morning exclusive about documents that Donald Trump Jr. received from WikiLeaks after multiple other outlets contradicted the story.

The original CNN report said Trump's eldest son had received an email pointing him to the documents on Sept. 4, before WikiLeaks had made the documents public. But other media outlets reported that Trump Jr. and other campaign officials had received the email on Sept. 14, after the documents had already been made public.

CNN acknowledged the error, issued a correction, changed the headline and removed a tweet in the report from Trump Jr. from early September.

CNN's initial reporting of the date on an email sent to members of the Trump campaign about Wikileaks documents, which was confirmed by two sources to CNN, was incorrect. We have updated our story to include the correct date, and present the proper context for the timing of email
