CNN reported Tuesday that they declined to publicly identify the Reddit user who created the Trump CNN wrestling video because he promised not to do it again.
CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski then went on to say, “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”
That is extortion.
They threatened to dox him.
It turns out that CNN has targeted the wrong person! Analysis of the video shows evidence that the wrestling video President Trump posted to his Twitter account did not originate from this particular Reddit user.
The Daily Wire reports:
The meme Trump tweeted wasn’t generated by HanA**holeSolo. CNN shot first.
According to BuzzFeed, “one user pointed out that what Trump tweeted wasn’t actually HanA**holeSolo’s GIF.” Trump’s gif included both video and audio – whereas the Rebel smuggler wannabe’s gif did not include audio. Furthermore, the original HanA**holeSolo gif “was shorter, had a different aspect ratio, and had a WWE logo in the corner…Not even the colors are processed in the same manner… HanAssholeSolo’s GIF has an NTSC aspect ratio, because it was cut directly from a taping of analog Westlemania footage. Trump’s video has an aspect ratio of 16:9.”
BuzzFeed continues:
Someone downloaded the GIF that HanAssholeSolo originally posted to Reddit. Then that person cropped it to better fit a video player like Facebook or YouTube. Then they went through the effort of syncing it back up with audio from the original clip. Then that person put it somewhere where Trump or one of Trump’s people could see it and download it. Then whoever found the video version had to get it to Trump’s phone.

If all it took was a meme video to trigger CNN into acting like crying children..
I suspected this.
I suspect CNN may have made this all up.
CNN pretended they caught someone in order to teach the public not to mess with them. However, they did not anticipate that this move would blow up in their face.
Now it’s a meme war. If CNN was smart, then they would fire the reporter.
This is gettin ridiculous, and I’m lovin’ it!
Which Witch was which?
He’s probably already been promoted.
Crime seen will it be a crime scene?
Oh, my gracious. They publicly blackmailed a 15-year-old kid and it turns out to be the wrong guy? Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better...
This just gets better and better!

This can’t get any better or worse for CNN - The Most Busted Name in News.
Rope-a-dope from WH continues.
That’s very possible.
I’m going to get more popcorn. CNN entertainment is so good, I ran out.
How do we know CNN really tracked down the identity of the Reddit poster?
They could be making that up as well. They are not above doing that.
CNN.....Comic News Nazis
Ping
LOL! CNN is crashing and burning.
C*NN is stuck to the body-slamming tar baby.
Time for the real meme poster to emerge from behind door #3.
