CNN Warns It May Expose An Anonymous Critic If He Ever Again Publishes Bad Content (theintercept.com)
New submitter evolutionary writes: CNN appears to be giving veiled threats at a Reddit user who posted critical comments about the media giant. After an apology was given by the Reddit user (possibly under fear upon discovering CNN had his identity), CNN stated: "CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change." The story stems around Trump's July 2nd tweet, which includes a video showing him wrestle and takedown someone with a photoshopped CNN logo on their head. The video was accompanied by the hashtags #FraudNewsCNN and #FNN. CNN reportedly tracked down the Reddit user who claimed credit for the tweet and announced they would not publicize the user's identity since they issued a lengthy public apology, promised not to repeat the behavior, and claimed status as a private citizen. However, as The Intercept reports, "the network explicitly threatened that it could change its mind about withholding the user's real name if this behavior changes in the future: 'CNN is not publishing HanA**holeSolo's name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same. CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.'"
Does CNN not realize that there is a Constitutional right to troll without facing any consequences? It's right there in Article XII of the Constitution.

What's the matter, too chicken to take the heat?
So if I use a WWE meme of anything (up to and including something as riduclous in entirety as is the now 90 year old bleach blonde, fake hair having, small hand hating, president of the United States participating in a WWE match) that in turn constitutes general violence against someone in this particular case an entire business entity and everyone they represent? I'm going home. This level of political correctness hurts my head. I guess I need to find a new hobby while I whittle away in my parents basement.
I'm a good boy and I don't have any bad thoughts. I don't see why anyone on the internet would want to hide their real name. I use facebook and post all my private info there.
Blacks don't really bring crime and violence into communities they move into. Illegals didn't really take a good chunk of the lower class jobs in America. CNN isn't really run from the top down by Jews, and Jews aren't really tribal and nepotistic.
It's all racism, bigotry, and anti-semitism.
