Retraction won't be enough at this point. Wikileaks needs to stay the course on the threat to sue. CNN has been a mouthpiece for the "establishment" pedos for too long...and the "retraction" was in error in regards to the "rape" allegations. There was no rape as per the SMS messages between the two women. Basically he didn't use a condom. Sweden lets Muz rape children with zero consequences, but Assange doesn't use a condom...and they cook up an international plot to keep him in "prison" without a trial for 5 1/2 years.
I'm not a legal expert so I don't know if Assange can still take legal action after CNN's retraction. A few things are noteworthy though. CNN slanted their retraction to make it look as though the pedophilia allegation was in relation to the rape case - apparently they want to avoid drawing any attention to the plot involving the phony dating site. CNN has still not complied with Assange's ultimatum regarding the demand that CNN expose this plot, and I can't see them actually doing that, as it would seem to go completely against their whole reason for existing.
Yeah, they didn't issue a simple retraction. Why add in the stuff about the rape allegation? It seemed to me they were just trying to muddy the waters so people wouldn't see CNN as having simply issued FAKE NEWS. If there was a deeper agenda there, I didn't pick up on it (not that that's in any way conclusive).
INAL either, but their retraction did not meet the terms of his request. And I agree, CNN cannot expose the plot without killing themselves off in the process. Wikileaks will have to sue. You're also correct in the carefully worded statement...but I don't see that working, just reading the comments proves that. People are on the warpath. Good.
