CNN's correction; Trump's reaction; Boston Herald bankrupt; Salinas signs off; Ashbrook suspended; more "Big Little Lies"

Politico's Friday night headline: "CNN error extends run of journalistic mishaps." NYT's Sydney Ember summed it up this way: "CNN gaffe caps a rough week for the news media." President Trump seized on the news to criticize the "fakers" at a Florida rally. Here's what happened...

CNN's correction

Oliver Darcy writes: On Friday afternoon CNN corrected an exclusive report that said candidate Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. had received an email providing a web address and decryption key that would allow them to access hacked documents from WikiLeaks before the documents were publicly available. When first published Friday morning, the story said the email was sent to the Trumps on September 4, 2016. It was corrected to say that the email was actually sent on Sept. 14, one day after WikiLeaks made the documents public.

--> CNN's original story relied on multiple sources who "described" the email. The story unraveled when the WashPos obtained a copy of the email in question, which CNN did not have, and reported the September 14 date. A CNN spokesperson said as soon as the network reviewed its reporting and independently confirmed the story was wrong, it moved to make the correction on TV and online. Here's Darcy's full story about the correction...

CNN standing by the reporters

With ABC's suspension of Brian Ross still in the news, Oliver and I immediately asked CNN PR about the status of the two reporters who filed the story, Manu Raju and Jeremy Herb.
 
A CNN spokesperson said there will not be disciplinary action in this case because the reporters followed CNN's editorial standards process, which requires review and approval of the use of anonymous sources. (Recall that ABC said Ross's faulty reporting on Dec. 1 "had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process.")

 -- Erik Wemple quoted a CNN source: "People don't get fired at CNN for making a mistake. They get fired when they don't follow editorial procedures..."

 -- Numerous journalists rallied around Manu on Twitter. Politico's Blake Hounshell: "Manu is a very hard-working, careful reporter." Jake Sherman: "One of the finest journalists I've ever known..."

CNN says the sources were mistaken -- not malicious 

On Friday morning, the original story about Trump and WikiLeaks was in heavy rotation on CNN TV and was the lead story on CNN.com. Other networks scrambled to match the reporting. CBS did match it, complete with the erroneous date. The network issued a correction. NBC's followup did not include a date, but it did confirm the thrust of the report, as Wemple noted here.

So who were the confidential sources that led CNN and then CBS astray? My Twitter feed was full of journalists saying CNN should out the men/women. "They burned you, so you should burn them" was the idea. But CNN PR says the network does not believe that the sources intended to deceive the reporters...

Trump pretends to thank CNN

Trump's first mention of "fake news" at Friday's rally was met with a huge roar of approval. "Did you see all the corrections the media's been making?" He said, "they've been apologizing left and right." Without naming Ross, he said ABC's "fraudster" should have been "fired," and he repeated his sue-ABC recommendation.

Then he turned to CNN: "They apologized, oh thank you CNN, thank you so much," he said sarcastically. "You should have been apologizing for the last two years." For the record, CNN has not apologized...

"We need honesty"

Toward the end of the rally, Trump complained about "fake polls," including one that CNN reported earlier in the day. (I'm guessing he was referring to new Pew poll that has him at 32% approval.) "They'll have to apologize for that one," he said. Without missing a beat, he segued to this: "We need honesty. We need some love in the country. I'd love to bring both sides together if that's possible..."
THE ALABAMA SENATE RACE

Fox's error about that yearbook

"No, Roy Moore accuser didn't admit she forged his signature in her yearbook," PolitiFact said Friday afternoon. The fact-check was prompted by several false claims from pro-Trump/pro-Roy Moore media outlets and blogs.

FoxNews.com got it wrong in a web headline. Beverly Young Nelson told ABC that she added "notes" underneath Moore's inscription, but said "he did sign" the yearbook. Fox posted an article titled "Roy Moore accuser admits she forged part of yearbook inscription" and corrected it after commenters pointed out the misuse of the word "forged..."
 -- Vox's Jane Coaston writes: "Far-right media sites are doing Moore a big favor: They're giving voters an alternate version of reality so they don't have to admit they support someone accused of child molestation..."

On this week's "Reliable Sources" podcast, I asked Margaret Sullivan about her recent trip to Alabama... Moore's campaign against the media... the optics of endorsements... and much more. Check out the podcast on iTunes... or through other podcast services... And read Julia Waldow's recap here!

THE TIPPING POINT

"On Point" host Tom Ashbrook suspended

Another public broadcaster is coming under scrutiny. "Boston University and WBUR are suspending Tom Ashbrook, host of 'On Point,'" the late morning program that airs on NPR affiliates across the country, WBUR reported Friday afternoon.

Why? "Some allegations" were received by BU and WBUR. The station won't get into the details of what was alleged. Ashbrook said he is "stunned at the situation" but "there's a process and I respect the process."

There was even more media news out of Boston on Friday...

A resignation at the Boston Globe

Boston talk radio was abuzz Friday morning about a Boston Globe reporter who resigned under pressure amid allegations of inappropriate behavior. Later in the day, the Globe published a lengthy story about the paper's own self-examination, but chose not to identify the employee "because his alleged conduct did not involve physical contact, threats, or persistent harassment, and editors determined it is highly unlikely the newspaper would have identified the accused, or written about his conduct, if this situation had arisen at another private company." While that's obviously a controversial decision, the story is remarkably transparent in several ways...

Update on NBC's review

NBC News is conducting a "culture assessment" and requiring "harassment-prevention training for all its employees," NBC's Claire Atkinson reports. VF reported on Thursday that an outside firm is providing the training...

Kantor and Twohey writing a book

Penguin Press will publish a book by Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey about "the sexual abuse and harassment scandals that have convulsed the nation over the past two months," NYT's Maggie Astor reported Thursday night.

Penguin Press president and EIC Ann Godoff "made the deal for the book's North American distribution rights with Ms. Kantor's and Ms. Twohey's literary agent, Elyse Cheney. No publication date has been set." This will be Twohey's first book. Kantor's first book, "The Obamas," was a bestseller in 2012...

Congressional press gallery responds to RT's criticism

Hadas Gold emails: Last week RT's congressional press credentials were yanked because the production company which produces their work in the United States was forced to register as a foreign agent with the DOJ. In a statement, RT said it was unfair, considering other outlets like NHK and China People's Daily were also registered under FARA.

On Friday, the executive committee of the Radio & Television Correspondents' gallery said that NHK will stay credentialed, noting that it is not actually NHK that has registered under FARA, but a U.S.-based company with some links to NHK, NHK Cosmomedia America, Inc.

Seth Rogen's stand against Bannon and SiriusXM

Julia Waldow emails: Seth Rogen says he has cancelled his upcoming interviews on SiriusXM over the company's decision to bring Stephen Bannon back to radio through "Breitbart News Daily," which airs on the satellite radio network's "Patriot" channel.

SiriusXM's spokesperson responded, in part, by saying that "SiriusXM takes no political position of our own across our more than 175 channels, but we are here to provide an open forum no matter where listeners stand on the political spectrum..."

"Star Wars" fans brace for "Last Jedi"

Frank Pallotta emails: Audiences in galaxies both near and far, far away are less than a week away from "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." The next installment of the space saga opens in U.S. theaters next Thursday night, and analysts are having a hard time predicting the film's opening (I've heard everything from $190 million to $215 million).

We'll get our first taste of reaction following the world premiere in L.A. Saturday night, and then we hit lightspeed to the opening next weekend...

Saturation? Nah

Brian Lowry emails: It's going to be difficult to escape "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" this month. Coupled with all the other announced projects, it's caused some fretting about whether Disney risks saturating that far-away galaxy. It's still early, but the answer is not likely.

The Embassy Move Is Not a Disaster (Ross, Makovsky | Foreign Policy)

Posted: 08 Dec 2017 11:07 AM PST

MOVING THE U.S. EMBASSY TO JERUSALEM IS NOT A DISASTER
by Dennis Ross and David Makovsky

Foreign Policy
December 7, 2017

The president's statement does not, in fact, concede Palestinian rights and claims, but he must now make this clear to avoid empowering rejectionists.

READ THIS ARTICLE ON OUR WEBSITE


Few issues in the Middle East are more evocative than Jerusalem. Arab leaders' public responses to U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital this week have been swift and negative at least in part because they had little forewarning of what was coming and could not afford to look like they were conceding Arab, Palestinian, and Muslim rights in the city and its holy sites.

The irony is that what the president said does not concede those rights and claims. His recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital reflects a reality that it is the seat of Israel's government and that, for the Jewish state, Jerusalem will always be its capital—there is no other city that could be. For Palestinians, they too no doubt cannot envision any city but Jerusalem as the capital of their state, if and when it emerges from moribund negotiations. The president's statement does not rule that out: on the contrary, he said that the United States is not taking a position on "the specific boundaries of the Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, or the resolution of contested borders." Those questions, he said, "are up to the parties involved."

Given Arab and Palestinian concerns and the potential for Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and al Qaeda to distort what the United States is doing to foment rage and violence, it is essential that the Trump administration's message be clear and consistent about not prejudging the outcome of the status of Jerusalem. Maintaining message discipline has not been the hallmark of the Trump White House, but it is crucial now. No stray tweets allowed. The stakes are too high, particularly if the president's decision is not going to play into the hands of the enemies of peace.

That means repeating and reinforcing President Trump's main theme in his speech: that the United States is drawing a distinction between acknowledging the reality that Jerusalem has been Israel's capital since 1949, and the need for negotiations to resolve all the respective claims that Israelis and Palestinians have, including questions related to Jerusalem. Israelis and Palestinians must resolve these issues directly and without outside interference.

There is a logic to this duality. Israel's prime minister and parliament are located in the part of Jerusalem that is not contested, and there is an honesty in ending the fiction that the city is not the Israeli capital, which has gone on for close to 70 years. At the same time, given the centrality and potentially explosive nature of Jerusalem, it is vital not to appear to be pre-empting the ability of the parties to determine boundaries of the city and whether it will or will not be a capital for two states. Already Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has called for an uprising, and the violent riots today in the West Bank signal that anger over the president's declaration can be further exploited—which also helps to explain Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's declaration that the United States can no longer play the mediator's role.

Because there is an emotional lens through which all parties perceive Jerusalem, any decision can be misrepresented by extremists and produce violence. And if the United States appears to be closing the door on Jerusalem or simply adopting the Israeli position that all of Jerusalem should be under Israeli sovereignty, it may allow the jihadis and the rejectionists to hijack this highly sensitive issue. They, of course, will leap at the opportunity to create a provocation against the United States and against America's Arab and Palestinian partners—especially Abbas and King Abdullah II of Jordan. The administration needs to keep in mind the pressures both of these leaders are likely to be under.

One practical step the Trump administration could take to reduce others' ability to exploit the president's decision is to have senior U.S. officials appear on every Arabic-speaking news outlet and explain what this decision is and what it is not. The announcement, they should underline, is about recognizing what no one questions: that any peace deal would end with Israel maintaining its capital in at least part of Jerusalem. That would help make clear the administration's contention that it is not putting its thumb on the scale against Palestinian interests in Jerusalem—the United States continues to insist that the basic issues related to the future of Jerusalem, the questions of sovereignty, and competing Israeli and Palestinian claims must be subject to negotiations before there can be a peace agreement. Both elements of this message need to be a mantra, repeated to Arabic audiences by top U.S. officials in the weeks ahead, including by Vice President Mike Pence when he visits the region.

This is the best hope for strengthening the hands of the Arab and Palestinian leaders who must resist the efforts by those like Hamas who will seek to distort the reality and claim that Jerusalem has been given away—and who clearly want to provoke violence and greater polarization. It can also begin to change the environment in a way that allows Abbas and his negotiators, such as Saeb Erekat, to walk back from some of their statements about ending the peace process and the American role in it.

Conveying this message is important not just to avert violence but also to ensure that the plan the Trump administration intends to present to the Israelis, Palestinians, and Arab countries is not dead on arrival. The reason former Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama invoked the waiver was not that they lacked courage but that they believed this would deny the Palestinians and the Arabs the political space they needed to make hard decisions for peace, thus rendering its achievement more difficult. President Trump argued in his statement that they were wrong. If he wants to prove he is right, he will first need to make clear that their interests and rights have not already been conceded—and then present a credible peace plan, including on Jerusalem.
