The same news outlet which often claims President Trump is a "thin-skinned" narcissist is now threatening to ruin the life of a private person who dared mock it with a Trump meme.
In an appalling display of what's been labeled "thug journalism" and may even be blackmail, CNN sought retribution against the anonymous Internet user who created a video portraying Trump wrestling a figure whose head has been replaced by CNN's logo.
The video went viral this week after Trump retweeted it and irked CNN, which stated that it "encourages violence against reporters."
The video's alleged creator has since been forced to issue an apology to CNN after its journalists uncovered his in-real-life identity and discovered that he also posted racist and anti-Semitic content online. In a story featured prominently on its website yesterday, CNN suggested it would reveal his identity if he behaves in a way that displeases the network.
Big mistake.....

I find this hillarious. If they had left it alone, it would have been a non-issue in two days, but nope, they just couldn’t leave it alone.
Boycott their advertisers.
Time to post an “I AM SPARTACUS!” photo.
New info...CNN doxed the wrong person!...
The person CNN doxed and blackmailed is not the creator of the Meme Trump tweeted
And it Buzzfeed of all sited that pointed this out by comparing the meme done by the person CNN doxed ...to the Meme Trump tweeted and they don’t match
and over on 4chan there is someone claiming he was the original creator of the Meme back in January and of all things claims to be a Mexican
If a 15-year-old kid published a GIF with my face pasted onto something silly, why, I’d...I’d...I’d ignore it. Which is exactly what CNN should have done. Instead its public faces decided to start a war over it. You can’t walk back a blackmail threat and you can’t delete it from the Internet. CNN has just managed to validate its critics’ wildest accusations against it. Nice going, guys.
I am glad to help that along.
I usually refer to them as cfnn (commie fake news nitwits)
Today, CNN is squirming so much that now they are trying to coverup the events, claiming the boy apologized before they ever spoke with him.
If so, they may have just brought a divine cursing upon themselves.
The seek for the boy to confess and regret his actions to them before they forgive him, then they reserve the right to attack him anyways should he ever change in his attitude towards them.
They manifest the true antiChristian spirit, to substitute themselves as though they are Christ, seeking others seek their forgiveness first.
CNN’s approach is antithetical to that of 1stJn1:9.
If they don’t forgive him, then why should God forgive them, even when Christ Himself has paid for all personal sins on the Cross?
This may be the biggest out of proportion reaction that I have ever seen.
This is crazy. Whoever made the decision to even attempt to look this guy up should be fired.
It’s so out of proportion that one wonders if they didn’t do it themselves in collusion with the guy to invite a hands-down award or settlement and share in the proceeds with they guy.
Stefan Molyneaux had a great commentary on the event this morning.
[ I find this hillarious. If they had left it alone, it would have been a non-issue in two days, but nope, they just couldn’t leave it alone. ]
They should have just laughed it off in a 15 second segment between main segments and just played it off as a joke.
Perhaps somebody doesn’t want to be acquired by AT&T???
CNN apparently got a guy that just shared a 4chan video. Han appears not to have been the actual creator of the meme. So they threatened the wrong guy:
Sadly some of their viewers would believe that if they said it.
They manifest the true antiChristian spirit, to substitute themselves as though they are Christ, seeking others seek their forgiveness first.
He *DID* apologize before he spoke to CNN.
But he wrote that apology *after* he was contacted by CNN through eMail.
This is bad for CNN.
