Amid a virtual sea of media screw-ups and story “corrections” in legacy media, CNN took some time Friday morning to get to the bottom of a very serious issue: how to correctly pronounce the last name of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
And they used Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein” to do so.

“New Day” hosts Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota spent a fair amount of time covering the White House’s developing “credibility problem,” citing different stories from President Trump, new counsel Rudy Giuliani, advisor Kellyanne Conway, and White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
What they left out of their broadcast entirely was the growing “credibility problem” that has been developing within the media and came to a head on Thursday.
Unfortunately, NBC’s Cohen story today was just the latest in a long line of media screw-ups on the Russia story. It can honestly be hard to remember them all.
But don’t worry guys, I made a list. https://t.co/ASYmzFlpra

The story says “editor’s note” … why is this not a full retraction?
You need to fully retract this story. https://t.co/EWspSUeQvT
