CNN would feel much more at home in North Korea.
CNN in general, and leftist dirt-digger Andrew Kaczynski in particular, researched the purported creator of the Trump animated meme in which he body-slams someone who has the CNN logo superimposed on his head. Kaczynski found out the Reddit user's real-life name and other personal information, contacted him, and ordered him to issue an apology, remove all his posts, and promise to never again engage in speech Kaczynski does not agree with. To back the order, Kaczynski threatened to reveal the real-life name and personal information of the Reddit user in question. He also reserved the 'right' to make good on the threat later, if the user does not conform. CNN's statement on the issue:
This sounds rather like the 1970's Vietnam, or North Korea, where a gun is held to the head of a prisoner while he is forced to issue a 'confession'. Granted, this time there is no physical firearm at anyone's temple. There is, however, a threat of harm -- financial harm, reputation harm, and loss of privacy -- that serves as a gun would in motivating the person to 'apologize'.
This is outrageous. This is unacceptable. This cannot stand.
In most communist and fascist dictatorships, where 'apologies' are coerced, the media usually follows the leadership. This is the first time I have seen the media LEAD the Revolution. Some time back, I observed that I had it wrong: The news networks and newspapers were not the puppets of the Democrats; instead, the Democrats are puppets of the News Media.
Further, like a North Korean Supreme Leader, they will not tolerate mockery, however slight it is.
Behavior of this sort from a supposedly 'impartial' news organization shows us where they would take our country, given the chance. They would gleefully gut the First Amendment, allowing no dissent of their views, or mockery of any kind. The first impulse among these people is that of the Totalitarian.
With the similarities to totalitarian regimes' behavior, I would not at all be surprised if the 'apology' CNN demanded read something like this:
I confess fully and without coercion that I have committed a serious crime against the Glorious Cable News Network, and that I had no knowledge of the severity and penalties that surround such a serious crime against the State. I beg forgiveness for my transgression, and plead for mercy. I was not forced to make this apology in any way, and I am grateful to the Glorious Cable News Network, who has treated me well, providing adequate food and medical attention. Long live the Glorious Cable News Network!"
Good work Laz. CNN would take all of us out given the chance.
The bodyslam of a logo is nothing compared to the daily attacks these traitors to America are posting and saying.
Let's add more color to this thread...

Most excellent, Laz! Too bad it is too long for a tagline!
Maybe if we try some creative editing?

Any relation to Ted?
If the crew at 4chan makes CNN their main enemy CNN’s stars are going to want to move to North Korea.
Good points, It just goes to show all the meddling and damage Soros and other crazy leftists, have done to our journalism schools. Where they have been big contributors for many years and the corruption has come to fruition in our enemedia, unfortunately.
The Media Research Center has covered these leftist contributors to our journalism schools in many of their articles over the years. Now, the little totalitarians, Soros and other leftists have helped develop, are on full display for all of America to witness.
This article sums it up nicely but there are many articles on there about Soro's corruption on these United States of America. http://www.mrc.org/special-reports/special-report-george-soros-godfather-left
George Soros NEEDS to be in prison.

If you have a ping list please add me. Thanks
Ping :)
Great post, as always! Thanks.
That was brilliant.
I was trying to get to sleep on the 4th which was proving difficult with all the neighborhood fireworks :) so I turned to FR to read and came across this story as it exploded across the internet. #cnnblackmail trended number 1 on twitter before midnight, and remained so the next morning. It is no longer trending, so I am concerned with the typical American attention span that this egregious act by CNN will be swept under the rug like 911.
CNN set a dangerous precedent (and wasn’t even embarrassed to announce it).. a major news outlet went after a private citizen. If this is allowed to stand, then truly America is finished.
