Beyond the possibility of Hawking radiation, all current understanding has it that nothing can cross back out from a black hole's event horizon.
And /u/__Raptor__ is correct. Black holes certainly don't "spit stars out." In fact, large star life cycles end with black holes. If CNN said otherwise, they're quite wrong, perhaps misunderstanding orbital ejection of objects outside the event horizon - a phenomenon common to all multi-body orbiting systems, not just black holes.

As I told him you can go do your own research. Space is dynamic in the fact that our understanding of it changes almost daily at this point. We are constantly learning new things. Just because you haven’t learned the new information doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Imagine the concept that we don’t know everything. Because we don’t. We think lots of things, doesn’t mean they are correct. I’ve been tired of this conversation. It’s obvious that I am not on the same wavelength as the rest of this thread. I learned a lot about this particular Reddit and the experience was the opposite of positive. Congratulations to everyone who participated, you definitely helped me formulate an opinion about this place.
