What happened? Have deliberately not been keeping up with the news to avoid a heart attack and keep the wife happy. It has all gotten soooooo bad. What did CNN try to do to the guy. Link please.
Some guy made a funny video with CNN logo in the place of a wrestler’s head and Trump wrestling them.
So he posted it on Reddit at The_Donald.
Well, Trump tweets the video!
So then there are CNN articles that the poster of the video is racist, anti-Jewish, terrible person.
CNN goes on to track the guy down and threatened to expose him (Dox him) if he ever posts again. The guy apologized online and took everything he ever posted down.
Furthermore, after extorting a Soviet style apology out of their victim, they said they wouldn’t post his name but they retain the right to do so if “anything should change.”
CNN went after the guy who made the Trump WWE CNN gif that Trump retreated recently. Apparently, the gif maker got scared when CNN tracked him down through Facebook, and apologized and said he would never do it again. CNN announced they wouldn’t do him (release his info to the public risking him being harassed, fired, etc) IF the man never upset CNN again. It’s really cut and dried blackmail.
From what I understand they found his identity and contact info somehow and threatened to make it public unless he apologized and take the content down. I’ve also seen a few stories that indicate it may have been a minor who made the gof, but that is not confirmed.
