As you know, CNN had another embarrassing day and had to correct a story that began as a “bombshell” and ended as a fizzled dud.
White House Press Secretary added insult to injury after spotting CNN making a different goof:
.@CNN this is definitely not @RajShah45 but it is #FakeNews pic.twitter.com/tS9QBndBw0

Umm…
I know Raj Shah.
I've worked with Raj Shah.
This is not @RajShah45.
…. @CNN you're losing more credibility by the hour. Time to reboot. https://t.co/2hZ3UqGacS— Emily Miller (@emilymiller) December 9, 2017
Way to go, CNN — again.
Oh man. This is the other Raj Shah, the one who runs the Rockefeller Foundation. https://t.co/W9AO7NwkOO

That would be the former head of USAID, not the White House press aide https://t.co/5A1mxswmU1

Did CNN use their “sources” to confirm that first? *Eye roll*
So @CNN just runs with a picture they think matches an ethnic name? Today would eat up all of @brianstelter’s show if it were Fox crapping the bed and not his network. https://t.co/BSdnUpQlEr

This is pathetic @cnn geez at least get right person. You’d think after your stellar day with @DonaldJTrumpJr reporting you’d be more careful. https://t.co/OFtfgmZmhg

Actor Kal Penn was among those piling on:
Hey @cnn our Raj Shahs don’t all look alike https://t.co/3VI8TF5hRD
