CNN Enforcing New Rules for Russia Coverage After Retracting Story on Senate Investigation

Mediaite.com:

CNN has issued a new set of publishing guidelines after the network retracted a story this weekend which tied President Trump‘s team to the ongoing Senate investigation into Russia’s 2016 election interference. 

Buzzfeed obtained an internal memo from CNNMoney executive editor Rich Barbieri, stating “no one should publish any content involving Russia” without consulting him or CNN vice president Jason Farkas. 

“This applies to social, video, editorial, and MoneyStream. No exceptions,” the email also stated. “I will lay out a workflow Monday.”
