CNN Targeted WRONG Reddit User – POTUS Trump Took from DIFFERENT USER
GP ^ | 07/05/17 | Cristina Laila

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

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.”

I love that WE are using Alinsky tactics to take down, and take out, the bad guys by bombarding CNN with ridicule. We can’t stop. Must keep it coming, day after day.

CNN must have threatened Twitter, since the #CNNBlackmail tag has suddenly dropped from #2 position on the trending list to completely off the list.

#CNNBlackmail is all over my Twitter feed.

Just Twitter manipulating things again, as is their usual way.

Well if CNN tried to pull a hoax, that could be more devastating than criminality. I hope it was both a hoax and criminal.

This would mean CNN went after someone who merely posted a joke video about CNN. Btw I would maintain the video itself isn’t necessarily pro Trump or Anti CNN. It depicts Trump mauling CNN, and can be seen as making fun of both, either or neither if it’s just an observation.

Same here but it’s no longer trending on Twitter.

Twitter deleted it from their trending list.

Twitter was also auto-suggesting the hashtag “CNNBackmail” with no “l” for most of the day, too, which caught a lot of people.

A lot of misinformation making the rounds.

Yep, looks like I could have bought the wrong detail. Not too surprising given who is involved - anonymous Internet posters. Hey, wait a minute, I'm an anonymous Internet poster...

Those meme GIFs and videos get posted and reposted by untold numbers of people. I’d assume he had posted the original, but it was cleaned up and idealized by someone who added sound before the President retweeted it.

Kfile posted a cryptic message on twitter. That protest is probably what he was referring to.

Wow, the Second Civil War is really going to be started by a wrestling meme.

Because CNN put out enough information to identify him and, being a teenager, he was intimidated by the attention.
