WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump is using the resignations of three CNN journalists involved in a retracted Russia-related story to rail against media credibility.
On Tuesday morning he tweeted, “Wow, CNN had to retract big story on ‘Russia,’ with 3 employees forced to resign. What about all the other phony stories they do? FAKE NEWS!“
He also wrote, “So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!“
The CNN story was about a supposed investigation into a pre-inaugural meeting between a Trump associate and the head of a Russian investment fund. The story was posted on the network’s website Thursday and was removed, with all links disabled, Friday night. CNN accepted the journalists’ resignations Monday.

Rohingya ‘targeted for destruction’ by Myanmar, Gambia tells ICJ
THE HAGUE: Myanmar's military deliberately targeted the Rohingya minority in a bid to destroy the community, Gambia's Justice Minister Dawda Jallow told the International Court of Justice on Monday.
"It is not about esoteric issues of international law. It is about real people, real stories and a real group of human beings. The Rohingya of Myanmar. They have been targeted for destruction," Jallow told ICJ judges.
Gambia has dragged Myanmar before the ICJ, claiming its 2017 crackdown against the Rohingya minority was in breach of the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.
