Several anchors and reporters at CNN have had their home addresses published and have received threats of rape and other violence in the wake of a story published by Andrew Kaczynski, who heads up the network’s investigative K-FILE team. Anti-network trolls are encouraging viewers to wrongly accuse CNN staffers of pedophilia and child pornography. There is also “tons of anti-Semitism.”
“Frustration” is the predominant feeling inside CNN, The Mirror has learned.
Kaczynski published a story on the 4th of July in which he appeared to threaten to publish the name of a Reddit user who parades around anonymously as “HanAssholeSolo.” HanAssholeSolo claimed to be the originator of the wrestling video tweeted by President Trump in which POTUS flattened a wrestler whose face was a CNN logo.
Trump has long accused CNN of being “fake news” and “very fake news.”
The network seems to be fulfilling Trump’s need for a public enemy. In other words, CNN fills the void for “Low energy Jeb,” “Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted” and “Crooked Hillary.” In recent months, CNN has become a virtual punching bag for Trump supporters. The reason doesn’t often matter. Be it White House correspondent Jim Acosta bitching about press access or “New Day” host Chris Cuomo deleting a tweet, they’re drunk on hate and their perception that the network is not giving Trump a fair shake. They delight in clobbering the network as much and as often as possible. Do You Think Andrew Kaczynski Is A Good Journalist Overall?

To be sure, Kaczynski’s home address has been posted online as have those of various CNN anchors and reporters.
“Frustrated by our critics’ double standards,” a CNN insider said on condition of anonymity. “Frustrated that CNN staffers’ private information is being published in ‘retaliation’ — when the network made the decision to not out the Reddit user. Frustrated by the speed in which misinformation, lies and hate spreads. Frustrated that POTUS’s son has no accountability.”
Some CNN employees are taking steps to protect themselves, but details are hush-hush as revealing them could jeopardize employing safety measures in the first place.
Kaczynski called out Donald Trump Jr. for posting incorrect tweets. “Don Jr. knowingly spreads lies,” my source told me.
For one thing, the Reddit user in question is not 15 but a middle-aged man.
Secondly, Kaczynski never deleted his tweet.
Btw, I don't support doxxing by or of CNN.
One of the things my boss at my first real job taught me: “Never get in a pissing contest with a skunk!”
I guess CNN could have used this advice...
Mark Styn had some amusing lines about the CNN Blackmail on Tucker Carlson tonight:

Oh baby, you reap what you sow. Too bad these rabid leftists never read the Bible.
>>Btw, I don’t support doxxing by or of CNN. <<
Agreed but I have to admit a human sense of satisfaction seeing a bully beaten up in the same manner as he was threatening to beat someone up.
The internet is NOT a toy to be trifled with.
Ouch. Sounds like CNN will now be known as Continuously Nervous Nellies.
I see Trump’s name used a lot here, but it all seems to be a problem of CNN’s own creation. Trump didn’t make them track down and intimidate this anonymous poster, and then threaten him if he doesn’t behave. Who cares what age he was?
I totally support doxxing them. Many have tryed admonishment with a feather on them. Apparently it requires a sledge hammer.

4chan/8chan now have the names of the reporter’s family, their phone numbers, home addresses, emails.
One thing to go after the person, but the family? That’s a bit much.
Knew this was coming through. Half a million on The_Donald and the weaponized austism from 4chan... every CNN worker is going to have major issues for months to come.
You’d think these folks would go after congressional Democrats too.
These people have been slinging mud and lies, lies and more lies about the president for two years. At some point did they not think this was gonna catch up with them eventually?

Yes, Styn hit it out of the ballpark.
(heh)
This is more about ‘you went after one of us, we take you down.’
Not really pro Trump, pro anything other than free speech.
They’ve also got the Kim Dot Coms and Zero Hour hacker crowd after them. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a DNC/Podesta-style massive leak of their entire email server.
In less than 24 hours they’ve already circulated the home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses of all the hosts.
What was the “WIN” here for CNN? Getting some nobody to sweat?
What morons.
“You’d think these folks would go after congressional Democrats too.”
They probably will, if the Democrats stoop to the level of CNN. As bad as they are, I’m not sure that I can name an example of them matching this little episode.
They sure got it this time. When 8chan is pi$$sed, they are royally pi$$ed.
