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.
Ultimately, CNN decided not to reveal his identity not for safety reasons, but for political ones, apparently rewarding him for apologizing and recanting his views. In addition, CNN threatened to expose the Reddit users identity in future if it disapproved of his behavior or his statements essentially blackmailing him:
Critics pounced on CNNs decision:
CNN extorts amateur satirist who made video tweeted by Trump: if you make fun of us again we will harm you WikiLeaks
CNN just committed a crime violating § 135.60 of the New York criminal code coercion Julian Assange

If CNN committed a crime, then they should be prosecuted. Anyone can file charges, no? After all, such crimes have the style, “the state vs CNN”; etc.
Do tell. Where do we make our own? Let’s flood the internet with ‘em.
#CNNBlackmail is now #1 trending on twitter
And not a word about it on Fox News. This ain't going nowhere.
Only CNN and its fellow fake stream media are allowed to utilise “anonymous” sources. Someone should threaten to out their sources, and listen to them holler.
Tammy Bruce just had a segment on F&F regarding the story.
Yes, unfortunately the brilliant Tammy Bruce was “interviewed” by Ainsley Airhead.
I read the apology. Read more like groveling to me. What a wuss.
Time Warner owns both CNN and Reddit.To which I can only add:They likely just shared his IP info with CNN and CNN created the backstory that the guy outed himself. If they had his IP from owning Reddit, thats obviously where they tracked him down.
This is a criminal conspiracy, is clearly racketeering, and collusion between two or more corrupt organizations to commit a crime.
RICO!
CNN deserves to be driven out of business as purveyers of hate, division, lying, shouting fire in movie theaters...
Today, 7/5, 7am, they put the following headline up:
“Trump 19 days in golfing resorts in first 99 days, Obama 1 day”
Truly they deserve all bad stuff to come their way.
Don't stop there take out the entire Time-Warner food chain!
This is what happens when children are in charge.
Sessions will be right on that. In the words of Donald Trump, CNN should be up on charges brought forth by Sessions so fast, it should make your head spin. Let’s see if he will even do this which is a no-brainer.
There is no way his identity will remain a secret for long now, with this furor over CNN continuing to snowball. One way or another the details will surface. CNN will be responsible all the same.
