CNN’s Weak Sourcing Is Destroying Their Credibility

Who cares what CNN sources say?

CNN has been overrun by people who align against the president. Even so, they could still maintain journalistic integrity. But in their vigor to humiliate and denigrate the President they have surrendered all standards of journalism. So we end up with  full-day coverage of Rex Tillerson contemplating leaving office without any verification. This story was refuted by Tillerson himself in under 24 hours. But was the story really based solely on:

“two sources who spoke to CNN on condition of anonymity over the weekend said they would not be surprised if there was a “Rexit” from Foggy Bottom sooner than [a year] that.”

Relax CNN, no one cares what two people wouldn’t be surprised about. This type of reporting is one step below making news up.
