CNN seems to think I handed over my copyright when I published my novel with a major house...

I'm no editor for a major worldwide news organization, but this little combination of paragraphs not only is wrong about what happens when you publish a novel with a major house, but also makes not one iota of sense.
"Anyone can publish, that's the beauty of it," said Gail Jordan, Director of Public Relations at Lulu. "Nobody's going to say, 'We don't like your cover. Chapter 10 should be Chapter 6.' "
This means that the author retains the copyright to his or her book and is responsible for almost everything, from the costs for printing to, if they choose, marketing the book.
