I think you will find out otherwise.

This wasn’t a situation of “tell me what you know or I will do xyz”

Just wait until morning. We will see who is right.

Nope. It’s textbook extortion that CNN admitted to on twitter. Trump should pull their press credentials and start a RECO case against them.

After reading most of this thread, I have to conclude you work for CNN.

It seems like the kind of company that would have you as an employee.

It is simply a matter of free speech and free speech is not always ethical.

The MSM destroys people’s lives every day.
