CNN is pretty upfront; three journalists resign after an internal investigation determines a story depending on an anonymous source was posted to the CNN website without undergoing standard checks. In the rush to publish, the editorial structure broke down. (CNN retracted the story before it was aired on cable TV; whatever they can verify will, I’m sure, resurface in another story.) This is NOT an instance of “fake news.” It’s an error in judgement that was caught and dealt with within CNN.

Well said, Dennis.
Taking the article down and replacing it with an editor's note was a good idea. Disabling links is a bad move. Should someone have reblogged about it and linked to the original article, anyone who now reads the reblog may never know the original story was redacted.
