Multi-billion dollar corporation CNN is Extorting a Private Citizen over a Joke Tweet!

CNN reported today that they declined to publicly identify the Reddit user who created the Trump CNN wrestling video because he promised not to do it again.

 

CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski then went on to say, “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

That is extortion.
They threatened to dox him.

Founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange tweeted out, ‘CNN committed a crime, violating 135.60 of the New York criminal code.’ Below is a description of the code:

Lawyers should be begging to represent him. The cut they’d get trumps all their left leanings.

I seem to recall seeing media people repeating that they weren't enemies of the US. This is the equivalent to those old videos of POWs reading their "confession" (kid) with a soldier holding a gun just outside of the camera shot (CNN).
And for what, a silly gif?

Daily Caller has it, so does Breitbart.

A plausible timeline - the dominoes start falling: first advertisers, then the airports, then the satellite networks, then cable companies... Then the doors are locked.

“CNN really stepped in it this time. I am sure their CEO will be pleased. Haha!”

ATT is in the process of buying Time Warner, CNN’s owner. ATT is a highly regulated business - its land and wireless telephone business is overseen by the FCC and to some degree state and local authorities when it wants to build or reconfigure infrastructure. It purchases wireless spectrum from the federal government. The Justice Department reviews its acquisitions. Many of the federal regulators have been or will be appointed by President Trump.

There have been press reports that ATT is very unhappy with CNN President Jeff Zucker’s conduct in the ongoing war between CNN and President Trump. ATT may fire Zucker or neutralize him by promoting him to a corporate executive job where he has no operational control over CNN. It is also possible ATT will divest CNN after the acquisition. In any event the ongoing war between Zucker and Trump is not healthy for ATT’s business.

While the elimination of Zucker, and toning down of CNN, may give conservatives and Donald Trump a temporary reason to celebrate, long term the acquisition of a major news network by a multinational telecommunications giant is unhealthy for 1st amendment freedom of speech and the press. The major news networks and newspapers are increasingly controlled by multinational corporations and billionaires. These corporations, and wealthy investors are part of the network of crony capitalism and big money that is killing representative government in this country.

Daily we see evidence where Congress, and government bureaucrats, represent the wealthy and corporate interests who finance their campaigns instead of the will of the people who voted them into office. Multinational corporations and wealthy billionaires support the globalist agenda (world government, open borders, deficit spending, regulation, offshoring of US jobs, and restrictions on individual freedom). The concentration of economic power is destroying the American economy and reducing liberty. The merger of ATT and Time Warner will only lead to more concentration of power and less freedom in the long run.

Rumor Has It that the subject of CNN’s threats, coercion and blackmail is a 15 year old kid.

I have long wondered if Andrew Kaczynski is any relation to Theodore Kaczynski (The Unabomber)

It has always been so and will continue to be so.

I hope the merger is not allowed.

AT&T will simply be too big. Remember they just bought out Direct TV.

Yes they did. They actually had Tammy Bruce on discussing it around 730.

From what I’ve seen on this topic, CNN got most of its info on the meme poster from none other than the notoriously leftist ADL.

The CEO of AT&T is a major democRAT donor. He loves CNN simply because they hate Trump.

What TigerClaws posted on another thread is worth repeating here:
Time Warner owns both CNN and Reddit.

They likely just shared his IP info with CNN and CNN created the backstory that the guy outed himself. If they had his IP from owning Reddit, that’s obviously where they tracked him down.

To which I can only add:

If true, this is a criminal conspiracy, is clearly racketeering, and collusion between two or more corrupt organizations to commit a crime.

RICO!

I fear all CNN has done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.


Now, is the time to get Federal legislation for “one-click” identity protection on the internet.

Just think of it “one-click” to exit the clutches of FaceBook, Google, Redditt....

The merger of ATT and Time Warner will only lead to more concentration of power and less freedom in the long run.

If AT&T has a lick of sense the will withdraw the offer, avoid being sucked into a billion dollar lawsuit, the attendant bad publicity, and buy up the smoldering remains for mils on the dollar.

Um, no: It’s not extortion. Blackmail certainly (tonshut him up) but not extortion.
