CNN wants it to be easier to hunt down people who criticize them.

People do not have a right to stay anonymous

Except when CNN uses unnamed sources!

Corleone News Network at it again!!

Dear Kirsten: You can threaten all you want, as you are a CNN fake news hired thug. Just remember CNN is now just as corrupt as a sleazy New Jersey crime family.

What you can’t do by threats and thuggery is gain back trust and respect as a legitimate news organization. It will take many years, perhaps decades, before CNN can gain back a good reputation—if that’s even possible.

CNN reminds me of Dan Rather and his “fake but accurate” documents: “The stupid, it burns.”

“so they can spew their racist, misogynist, homophobic garbage”

Does anyone know whether the individual Powers is threatening has actually posted statements a normal person would consider racist, misogynist, or homophobic, or is CNN lying again?

I’m delighted to see CNN double-down.

It is their biggest mistake to-date, and they want to continue to dig their hole.

Thus CNN is the first newspaper organization to let whistler blowers and leakers know they will be outted.

Who is skankier Kirsten Powers or that nasty woman that slept with Jesse Jackson. I forgot her name but she was a regular on Hannity a while back. I googled it. Tamara Holder.

Both of them are flaming liberals.

But it is laudable and prudent to post anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-male, anti-traditional-values screeds under a pseudonym, because those people are oppressors and pose a real threat to anyone who criticizes them.

CNN is built on anonymous sources.

If he is a minor, he certainly does. He could OWN CNN if they revealed his identity without his permission under various civil rights laws.

There does seem to be a question as to who the original meme creator was. One meme was apparently uploaded by a 15-year old. But, Trump actually retweeted a meme created or modified by someone else.

Fine, then CNN should never again claim anonymous sources.

“Not to say there is some sort of “right to anonymity,”

Sure there is. The rigbt to anonymity is in the Constitution eminating into the penumbra of the right to privacy.
