The Securities and Exchange Commission is investigating the origin of a false report on a CNN citizen journalist Web site that Apple’s chief executive, Steven P. Jobs, left, had a heart attack and was hospitalized. The agency’s enforcement unit is trying to determine whether the posting, which was on iReport.com, was intended to push down the company’s stock price. CNN is cooperating with the S.E.C.’s inquiry, a network spokeswoman, Jennifer Martin, said. The report is “not true,” an Apple spokesman, Steve Dowling, said. John Heine, a spokesman for the S.E.C., declined to comment.
