CNN reported Tuesday 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.
It turns out that CNN has targeted the wrong person! Analysis of the video shows evidence that the wrestling video President Trump posted to his Twitter account did not originate from this particular Reddit user.
The Daily Wire reports:
The meme Trump tweeted wasn’t generated by HanA**holeSolo. CNN shot first.
According to BuzzFeed, “one user pointed out that what Trump tweeted wasn’t actually HanA**holeSolo’s GIF.” Trump’s gif included both video and audio – whereas the Rebel smuggler wannabe’s gif did not include audio. Furthermore, the original HanA**holeSolo gif “was shorter, had a different aspect ratio, and had a WWE logo in the corner…Not even the colors are processed in the same manner… HanAssholeSolo’s GIF has an NTSC aspect ratio, because it was cut directly from a taping of analog Westlemania footage. Trump’s video has an aspect ratio of 16:9.”
BuzzFeed continues:
Someone downloaded the GIF that HanAssholeSolo originally posted to Reddit. Then that person cropped it to better fit a video player like Facebook or YouTube. Then they went through the effort of syncing it back up with audio from the original clip. Then that person put it somewhere where Trump or one of Trump’s people could see it and download it. Then whoever found the video version had to get it to Trump’s phone.

Another month or two of this and CNN is done as a going concern.
That long apology sounded suspiciousl like a fake opus. It certainly was not written by a 15 yr old. 4chan should find out who wrote it.
Well its Buzzfeed of all sites that point this out... the guy CNN doxed did do a similar meme .. but if you compare the that person’s meme to the one that Trump tweeted they don’t match up even in the original source material
Trump traps presstitute pelts aplenty ....LOL !
A lot of misinformation making the rounds. Major language alert if you follow the link.
‘Read the thread tard. It was literally debunked in the f_____g thread you just archived.
It’s just some troll who created a bunch of layers in photoshop and is now taking credit. Just like some troll posted the 15 year old thing and you guys all ran with it.’
Now that is hilarious.
Haha!
CNN must have threatened Twitter, since the #CNNBlackmail tag has suddenly dropped from #2 position on the trending list to completely off the list.
CNN must be panicking.
Fun to watch.

This came from the WWE. It was a charity event.
Yep.
At least the Gateway Pundit properly called it extortion, rather than blackmail.
Since they took it public, even if the wrong person, even if one they planted, I suspect they could still be charged in a court for extortion and be found guilty.
Ping
Makes you wonder if they had the inside track that CNN was going under and they are trying to harvest value before it folds.
Major point: The joke video stands on its own and it never mattered the background of who made it. There is nothing wrong with the video why is anyone being hounded for making it? I have every right to make a video like that.
