CNN Threatens Reddit User For Exercising Free Speech | #CNNBlackmail [video only]
YouTube.com ^ | Jul 4, 2017 | Stefan Molyneux

Posted on 07/05/2017 1:18:16 AM PDT by servo1969

As America celebrated Independence Day, the Internet exploded following allegations that CNN threatened and coerced the Reddit user behind the popular Donald Trump/CNN Wrestling meme into silence for exercising his first amendment rights. In an article by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski, it is detailed how Reddit user HanA**holeSolo “apologized for calls for violence against the press,” took down all his social media posts, begged for his identity not to be released an promised he wouldn’t engage in any similar behavior. The article noted that CNN agreed not to release his name, but “reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

Sorry but KFILE is the CNN reporter that did the threatening.

Proceed cautiously because he has already been caught lying about what he said. Thanks to screen shots the Twitter universe caught this clown lying. Again though he is a CNN reporter. What do you expect?

"Reporter who did the doxxing says HanA-hole is an adult:"

Well, according to our anonymous source, who is extremely knowledgeable about this case, he's 15.

CNN has tripped a IED - Internet Explosive Device.

So.... Zucker resigns ASAP.
And ...kill the Time Warner + AT&T super predator. Who needs it?

If not, what about a massive protest where smartphones with TV Remote App change all public space TV screens off CNN and on to another channel.

The CNN reporter claims he collected bits of personal info that the poster had used in Reddit posts and then did searches on Fakebook until he found the guy’s “real” personal page. I don’t know if that is the real story or not.

From Reddit:

Sounds like Blackmail to me

Smells like blackmail too

And looks like Blackmail

Must be a Duck

No it is CNN, Ducks have some self respect

CNN whines about violence against the press. Threatens violence against anyone who criticizes CNN.

Gentlemen, if that is how the game is to be played, don’t be surprised if the other side does it too.

Just saying CNN. The boys and girls of Reddit can be rather nasty if you poke them. And they are much less fragile than you.

Let's turn the tables. Imagine the media outrage it President Trump said the following...

The Administration is not expose the NSA recordings in has on CNN because they issued an extensive statement of apology, showed remorse by taking down all their offending posts, and because they said they're is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, CNN said this statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same. The Trump Administration reserves the right to expose CNN should any of that change.
