Interesting stuff coming from the gang over at the DU..not too many of them defending CNN...I got a kick out of the last one:

12. It’s worrisome to see a professional news outfit behaving like this. I’m not going to ignore it just because I disagree with that redditor’s satire/speech. It honestly sounds like something a third world despot would say after their political prisoner apologized.
17. If it was Fauxnoise doing it to an anti-Trump redditor, the comments here would slightly different..We can’t take a side with this shit.
21. Yeah after hunting someone down who made satire at their expense..How nice of them! Like a despot releasing a political prisoner after a forced, groveling apology.
22. And that is a threat of shame (5) for participating in something he has the legal right to do.
It’s very cut and dried. Minimizing it with ‘simply’ is myopic. We don’t even want to PRETEND to support an idea like this. If you can’t see how this will go over with people, you R.E.A.L.L.Y. need out of the bubble.
Not to mention the reporter flipflopped on his story the second it was pointed out. Anyone paying attention should at least not ~defend~ their action, if you don’t choose to condemn it.
29. Our people say the same to the Nazi’s...You want CNN doxxing them too? Or are we just going to openly demand special pleading?
23. omg, the trolls just posted the home addresses and phone numbers of Wolf Blitzer, Don Lemon, Brian Stetler and others.
Good post.
It is wise for us all to remember that most of the Left thinks of CNN as “conservative.”
So what are the names of his other three brats?
And no conservative will do a damn thing to them.
Flip it the other way, and there would be death threats and bricks through their windows.
