CNN Has Crossed a Line!

CNN can dish it out, but they can't take it. So.... they now resort to extortion/blackmail. Apparently, CNN threatened to "dox" the creator of the wrestling spoof of Trump taking down CNN in a body-slam, and coerced that person to publicly apologize and remove his content.

CNN has just made their problems 100x worse. Gotta say, it's oddly interesting to see a multi-billion dollar corporation implode in full view of the world.

CNN Blackmails Source of Donald Trump Wrestling Video

CNN threatened Tuesday to expose the identity of the Reddit user who had claimed credit for creating the spoof wrestling video that President Donald Trump tweeted on Sunday morning, showing him fighting the cable network.

After reporting Monday that the Reddit user, “Han*******Solo,” had a history of racist and antisemitic tweets, CNN tracked him (apparently, he is male) down and attempted to make contact with him by email and telephone.

On Tuesday, the Reddit user posted an apology (since deleted, but reprinted in full below, via Buzzfeed News).

Stefan Molyneux's YouTube video opinion (~20 mins.) , "CNN Threatens Reddit User For Exercising Free Speech | #CNNBlackmail " is pretty good on the topic.
