CNN is lying... Check this out (below) from the original article. Highlighted is the threat. Got to love the use of the word "showed remorse" as if this guy is confessing his sins to CNN. They are completely arrogant!

“I am sure that CNN did not blackmail the dude, at least not in the legal sense of how blackmail is codified”.

If you threatened a Child with releasing his internet history unless he Apologies to you in public, you have committed Blackmail, Extortion, and threats to a child.

CNN lawyers playing lie by omission word games. The implied blackmail was via email.

More proof CNN is lying.

Probably fake comments from David Brock’s ShareBlue outfit.

CNN is soon to be a property of AT&T.

Don’t let the MSM piss in your shoes. Switch to Verizon.

I'm hoping that AT&T will clean up CNN.

I don't think that AT&T will want a low-rated cable network causing unnecessary controversies for them.

This is why the FNN dirtbag has clammed up on this story. He’s caught red handed.

Doesn’t matter what CNN does at this point, the digital gloves are off as far as a multitude of people creating even funnier spoofs. This morning, helicondelta posted the one with the garbage can and also the funniest is the Karate Kid version of a kick-down.

BOOM!

That’s it!

CNN has been caught lying again.

"CNN decided not to publish the name of the Reddit user out of concern for his safety," a CNN spokesman told The Hill.

They've (1) Stated that it could be dangerous if they released his name, and (2) said that NOT releasing his name might be contingent on him not embarking in lawful behavior.

That's called "admitting sufficient facts."

Okay. I’ve seen the “switch to Verizon” thing on a few posts. You’re starting to sound like a Verizon employee.....

While I agree ATT stinks, Verizon sucks just as bad.

Here is another threat tweet that Chris Cuomo has since deleted.

Liars and btw this guy realty had nothing to do worth Trump using the video (if he did use that one) which was further edited. YeT they made an issue of the guy. He had every right to make that video.
