Mrs. Powers doesn’t seem to be aware that because the media has decided to become the enemy of the American people they have forfeited their right to moral objection.

Didn’t she used to date Tony Weiner?

The CNN line of defense, that they were poised to expose a dangerous misogynist-homophobe-racist has been properly described elsewhere as "bafflegab."

It bears no relationship to what #FakeNews @CNN did, nor what they set out to do. To review:

1. CNN is not the Boss of the Internet. "Cleaning it" up isn't their job.
2. Even if they were, they took no action to enforce their (retroactively convenient) definition of "ethical behavior."
3. What CNN wanted to do was use the threat of exposure to coerce behavior; their own statement makes the perfectly clear. They forced an apology, and threatened the poster with exposure if he didn't stay quiet, and do their subsequent bidding.
4. When 4chan & /pol/ revealed the names & addresses of CNN staff, CNN staff were quite alarmed -- why, if people need to "own their opinions" and "have no right to anonymity?"
5. Probably the worst postings by this guy were anti-semitic. Why doesn't Powers mention that? Because calling out Jew haters doesn't get you any virtue signalling points, in fact, it loses you chits with the SJW's.
6. Finally, it's pretty clear that CNN did not even "out" the right person. There are a number of problems with the details of the "exposed" meme'ers gif. Duh.

In fine, and in sum: Powers' is defending the indefensible by saying CNN had every right to do something it had NO right to do, did NOT do, had no INTENTION of doing, was horrified by when done to CNN, and did not even do CORRECTLY.

Losers and #CNNBlackMail 'ers.

It appears that Opinionists, formerly known as "jernalists", are going to have to be doxxed without mercy.

Unto their fourth degree relations...

"CNN, journalists should have no pity for anonymous internet trolls"

What about counterfeit news network trolls? Was CNN among those calling the Tea Party a terrorist group?

Once CNN became a mouth piece for the Democrat Party and all things far to the left it opened itself up to anything it gets!

She says that she posts her opinions under her own name, and everyone else should too.

The difference being that she is effectively immune from retaliation for her opinions. Meanwhile HanA***Solo is vulnerable to having his employer harassed until he’s fired, and being vulnerable to having his home torched by Antifa thugs.

Perhaps she would feel differently if information was leaked about her which would make her vulnerable in her real-life existence.

CNN flubs again!
