Did George Soros secretly fund a CNN program??

Accuracy in Media reports that CNN sort of admits some connection between Soros money and a CNN program:

it might be accurate to say that the program was "based" on the work of Soros Media Fellow Robin Mejia but that her fellowship took place before she worked on the program and CNN, therefore, did not have to acknowledge the OSI or Soros connection.

Is this the ethics they teach at Columbia Journalism School? I guess it's more effective than a paid infomercial that Soros'Open Society Institute could have paid for.Accuracy in Media.
