CNN Blackmailing the video dude

There's virtually no such thing as private information about a person's life.

It's not coercion. It's just brutal abuse of a person by a powerful media conglomerate.

what meme? also if you act like a tard online and it can be traced back to you you're gonna get doxxed duder.

why isn't this retarded thread in /leftytrash/?

He obviously posted identifying information that connected his username to his real life information.

Anything can be traced back to you online. The meme he made wasn't harmful. The harmful meme is that it *was*. CNN is lying when they say that he was threatening them violence.

He got what he deserved. The liberal media is a mad dog, and needs to be kept on a leash in order to be useful.

That's what a dox is.

How does this translate into coercion?

...

Sure, I'll buy into that. I was more speaking about the legal question of coercion.

This isn't coercion, and I don't care about some ideology whore getting doxxed (which he wasn't). He was exposed as an asshole, but his real name wasn't given out anywhere. If someone doxxes him, it will actually be Trump's fault. I don't know why everybody is going after CNN when Trump was the one who posted it, even though he knows the media is INVESTIGATIVE and will trace everything he posts to its source. Trump will be the one who ruined someone's life, not CNN. CNN is just doing their job covering the president's idiotic behavior accurately. ACCURATELY. And I implore anybody to tell me why they should not have traced this meme to its source. Remember the campaign thing with Hillary Clinton and the Star of David that Trump's team called a "sheriff's badge"? Yeah, that was from a major white supremacist group who doesn't care if their reputation is shit. This meme is from a single dude who will be ruined for life BECAUSE OF THE PRESIDENT.

I hadn't really thought of it this way. The right-wing keeps framing it in the context of "but CNN covered it!" and it's hard to break from that context and actually see that if trump acted like a normal professional adult some /r/the_donald edgelord could post their ebin memes without being exposed as a douchebag.

The media is objectively run by Jews. That isn't debatable. What's your point? He's better than the Israel worshiping retards who support Trump.

not this shit again.

How is this not a dox? And just read the first image in this thread about how CNN is treating his anonymity as some kind of cudgel.

CNN is acting nuts.

I bet he is a kid which is why CNN is acting like they're his Dad.

CNN will not reveal this guy's name. CNN is a major news organization, they will not dox a single dude who posted some shit on the internet. They are not using this as a cudgel, but that guy is probably terrified when he heard a voicemail from CNN because they were able to trace it to him, and so deleted fucking everything. Of course CNN probably saved it all just in case he decided to try to use his newfound fame to get close to president Trump, because then he would be a public figure and then it would be open season, but as of now, CNN will never dox this guy. They are not acting nuts, they are defending their brand.

Then what's the deal with the highlighted sentence in the paragraph?

If you would fucking READ once in a while. (j/k, i know reading is hard)

CNN's article disagrees with you.

:|

Two different events. CNN called him once, but he didn't answer. Then he probably saw their voicemail, realized he was fucked and deleted fucking everything, then called them back.

CNN said they reserve the right to dox if compliance changes based on past behavior regarding the apology regardless of being "private"

It says "CNN is not publishing "HanAssholeSolo's name because he i s 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 other not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change."

CNN is a propaganda outlet, they have editors, they are careful with their words. I don't see any reason not to take their editorial statements at face value.

Which is exactly what I said. What the fuck.

Did you mean
?

No.

you posted speculation about future behavior (reddit user going public)

How is that not this exactly?

So you do take their editorial statements at face value? That's retarded bro.

CNN stated themselves that if the redditor did not apologize they would make an example of him.

Yes. I take this statement at face value.

It is explicit and clear about what it is.

Source?

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

It's right there.

I'm leaving this conversation.

Creepy and weird. Americans truly have the worst media outlets.
Threatening to release his information because he was memeing on twitter is flat out retarded

Your statement was not self-evident. CNN is not known to "make an example" of individuals who post nasty things on the internet and not apologize. Groups of people, yes, but not individuals. It would look worse for them if they ever did that. As a matter of fact, my speculation about his future behavior is probably exactly what they intend to do if any of that happens. You need to back up what you are saying has already happened though.

Apologise /sp/

bye whore

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

...

Which is exactly what I said they might do if anything changes. You're just trolling me at this point.

CNN showered Ken Bone with love, what are you talking about?
cnn.com/2016/10/10/politics/debate-ken-bone-staring-man-trnd/index.html

i hate cnn and i hate reddit so why should be mad about this?

i think the connection in both of these cases is don't go on reddit like a faggot

The most truly ridiculous thing about this, in my opinion, is that this redditor is a totally random guy. At least Ken above made some kind of personal foray into the public light, even if it was far in the penumbra. But this reddit commentator just happened to be the author of a highly trafficked meme that wound up being spread to the President. He's just a chump that CNN decided they had a duty to dox and abuse because… they can.

I'll be honest too. The meme itself isn't very "reddit".

Read the thread. I have quite soundly defeated the idea that this is a "dox" or "blackmail".

No, you haven't. You have made no attempt to show that it's not a dox, so that's just a lie, and your argument that it's not blackmail or coercion is both 1. not the position of the person you are arguing with 2. requires you literally replacing the words in CNN's article with your own. It's telling that it's not the defense they themselves are going with.

Has leftism fallen this far? "If you disagree with us we will dox and harass you." What happened to, y'know, winning an debate based on the merit of your argument?

Shame! shame! shame! shame! shame!

I gave you a different context to view the situation: the right context. You can choose to view this through the typical memey Holla Forums lens if you want, but it's delusional. I'm just being rational here, because that's what happens when you stop going to Holla Forums for a couple of months and then come back. This is my first day on here in a while, so I'm feeling very fresh and peaceful in my worldview, and I'm offering that virgin viewpoint to you.

Are you being serious right now? Holla Forums doxxes (or at least attempts to do) people all the time. Also since when is CNN the left?

?;iberals are leftist
fucking hat trick right here boys

Regardless of whether you consider CNN leftist or not, the fact that leftsist (like you) are defending their actions is worrisome.

I'm the only one here who has come close to 'defending' their 'actions' (neither of those words is appropriate so I use scare quotes because you are too disingenuous to use them yourself and let us know the true intention of your ideology)

Oh really? Ok, tell me what you want to know about my """""""""""""""""""""Ideology""""""""""""""""""""" and I'll answer.

nah you're just a concern trolling faggot

Yes of course, that's exactly what's happening here. I'm not concerned with the increasing amount of violence coming from the left. I don't actually care and am here just to mess with you people. You found me out. Oh darn.

This is my first day back on Holla Forums after like a two month break and I think you're a fucking twat, so there's that viewpoint for you.

why is the left becoming more violent bad tho?

stop defending imperialism or get banned kiddo

Because violence is bad? If we win based on violence alone then history will remember that and the seeds of doubt will be sewn into the minds of everyone. Everyone will think. "If they just killed people they disliked and won, then why can't I kill my neighbor? He an asshole. He deserves it."

When you set a precedent that might=right, you get a lot more people trying to use their might to get their way.

If it's OK for us to dox and harras people, then why do we get angry when they do the same thing?

actually violence is good

You're a lot like me. You can be intellectually stimulating, but you have a nagging inner asshole who says things like this to try to hurt people. You shouldn't do that so much.

So if a pollack came to your town and shot all the leftists and installed a nazi regime you'd be ok with it? Because his use of force was superior. So you would have no logical reason to be against it.

since pollacks never leave their basements we are obviously in imagination land so i would zap him with my heat ray dick. bing bong bing so simple

Frankly, most of your argument has merely been one from incredulity, like:

As for
Just because they're "not known" doesn't mean it didn't happen. If I were to read that in a news article about me, it very much would sound like a threat to dox me if I did something the news organization didn't like. It's an obvious interpretation of the statement, regardless of whether CNN has done it in the past.

I've never seen so much mainstream media fellating from someone on Holla Forums.

Thread is actually more reasonable than I thought.

It's good to know that I'm having a discussion with a rational adult. How old are you fam? Did you come from r/socialism? Are you aware that you just committed the red herring fallacy?

I had an epiphany the other day that black Democrats are right about everything, and that you should listen to them, but not white Democrats. Give it a shot sometime.

im giving your posts the response they deserve kiddo.

lol your gonna get banned imperialist swine

Are you 16? Please don't be a leftist at 16. You'll be a rightie by 23.

I had an epiphany quite recently that "black Democrats" are more than one person with more than one view, and so are "white Democrats," and none of these views are material in the current discussion.

FIFY

rude

Well Thank god, somebody is thinking about CNN's brand here.
t's just the rational interest LMAO stop being mad

Wew bud, if you keep virtue signaling like that, I just might believe you.

Almost made me delete this reply there.

Nvm this guy is a faggot as well, didn't read his post right due to the typos.
The fact you have a point makes me mad. Violence just to get your jollies out won't serve anyone but yourself, and all its going to serve you is a big heap of shit. Violence in response to violence however, is just all win. I understand Capitalism requires violence, But I don't see how raging against the machine without cause is helping anything.

Come on now, that was funny.

POOF, any doubts about this being a shit post are gone. Aborting.

Black Democrats have highly consistent views. Far more collectivized than those of white Democrats, or any other majority-white political group for that matter. Also being black is not a spook and Stirner is a hack and irrelevant to American political discourse.

You're welcome.

I would say they are about equel actually.

Yes it is, race is a spook

fair enough

Being black in America is not a "race". It's an entire mode of existence. Spooks are things we invent in our own minds to separate us from an abstract 'other'. Black Americans are not one of those things. They are part of ourselves too.

LOL.
Are you going to pass that blunt?

have you guys just tried not being racist?

There's no unified "black Democrats" or "white Democrats" to listen to. Why am I consulting liberals anyway?

And what does any of this have to do with the CNN story? It's a non sequitur.

This has to be a Holla Forumslack trolling.

That may be the most unironically spooked sentence I've read here.

what if everyone in this thread including you is a Holla Forumsyp?

p fucked up that you are calling black people spooks don't do that

This thread needs a sage of such enormous proportions that it's wiped from my memory.

wow what a quitter

You want some? I've got a bunch. Maybe it would stop you from putting words in my mouth and help you and the extremist voice in your head shut up and quietly think about something for once.

It really has nothing to do with the fact that they are Democrats, the most eloquent African-American political philosophers happen to be Democrats though, and they have it right. If you would just fucking listen to them for once, you might be humbled.

Sounds more like you might be the spooked one.

have you tried not assuming that all black people belong to some hivemind?

Wew bud forget the blunt I'm getting a huge contact high.

Never assumed that in the first place.

I don't believe black people are a collective, but you're definitely an extremist and a racist if you can't listen to the opinions of African-Americans without seething at the fact that they are Democrats.

Shit bro are you trying to smoke me out of this board?

...

alright then, enlighten me then. Please explain how being black is not a race, but also isn't a spook.

liberal

OK
you're not from here.
Who sent you and why are you here?

Pure ideology.

Are you American? It's impossible to explain to someone who doesn't have the context of being American. Are you psychologically active? Do you explore your own mind at all? It's also fairly difficult to explain an INFP concept to someone who is not perceptive.

A third of those people aren't democrats though. You are such a huge racist. Fun fact, being a racist isn't just "fuck blacks".
I'm just gonna diagnose you as the edgy teen you are. Stop regurgitating Memes you don't understand. Think about if your dad said that stuff to you, that's how you sound, bud. Funner fact, you aren't the smartest person, you never will be, stop acting like you've found your radical centrist highground.

That's kind of the truth though.
I agree, CNN doxing people they don't like is concerning, but only because I know it sets a dangerous precedent. The only way they'll be able to get away with it though, is if they are strong enough to control the narrative and make themselves the good guy.

but user you need to understand that The Blacks are a collective who share one mind and body. Members of The Blacks have no agency or individuality only a singleminded drive to vote democrat and the left needs to get on board with that if it ever wants to win.

I HAVE found the high ground. Listen to black people. That's all it fucking takes. You are legitimately inferior to them and your life experience, compared to a typical African-American's experience, is meaningless. Basically, your muh privilege is showing.

Please kill yourself red flag, you've ruined this thread.

You have to go back

I can't tell if you're cracking or if you are a Troll ramping up to your big finish. Either way this is hilarious. You're being an obscene faggot, and now it's time to roll out the bedsheets before mom sees you on your phone.

how can we listen to The Blacks when they form a hivemind who's only drive in life is to vote democrat even tho a third of registered AA voters aren't democrats?

fuck thats my job

...

I know this is a troll, but…
What does "strong Democrats" tell me about their feelings toward democratic socialism? It tells me exactly nothing, and it tells me nothing about any of their views. It only tells me that they vote for Democrats often (which can mean many things).

How do you know you're even an American in the same way as other Americans if you can't communicate the experience? In fact, it's possible no one understands what "being American" is if it's inexplicable to someone who isn't an American since "being American" is cultural and not something one knows at birth. Thus, you don't understand yourself what the "context of being American" truly means.

actually you'll find that The Blacks love centerists and austerity. the left needs to pull right if it wants to win.

lol just lol if you didn't vote hillary for slay queen when she did the nae nae

...

in what way is my post edgy?

You can't even get your numbers straight.

All I can tell you is about the strong feelings of empathy and compassion I have toward black Americans after my epiphany, and my desire to listen to everything they have to say about politics.

Actually, they just don't want scummy, sleazy Republicans to cut fucking Medicaid and food stamps. Those are "fuck black people" moves and that's all they are.

...

"no"
Its honestly a mystery to why you seem edgy at all.

...

There wasn't anything on Holla Forums because we have no dog in this race. Only benefit of the story is watching tards screech at each other and get massively triggered, along with an outside chance of the death of a shitty media outlet (but if you actually think this will 'bring down' CNN you need get your head checked)

I'd threaten you if I was any dumber. In all seriousness I think this board is going to hell

For the love god, don't be morons and respond to this shit.
It's not even good at this point.

"play stupid games; win stupid prizes" is an idiom older than your parents you dork

How is this not good b8? He's just good enough to be entertaining, while being too bad to be convincing? If the mods cared at all about this thread it would be locked and red over here would be b&.

so In addition to being apart of a hivemind that only votes democrat The Blacks are all on food stamps now? wow racist

making fun of the red flag dude, read the shitty shitty thread friendo

You can't call being black a spook and be done with it when you're black in America.

hell he should be banned for supporting the democrats and thus supporting ameican imperialism

I know you're making fun of me, but you're only hurting yourself by showing how little you care.

Cutting edge rhetoric there m8. Is there a God you have that doesn't approve too? Maybe a friend as well? Please user, tell us how tankie poster can get your approval.

Being black isn't a spook, but being white is.

THIS

Trump retweeted a meme, make a story if you will.
It makes no sense journalistically speaking to find the source. "Random dude on the internet makes joke" is not the news here (if you can call any of it news at all)
They might as well make a story about the president's hairdresser just because the hair is much commented upon.

Where your house is can also be considered publicly available information given that you just have to follow the person.
But it's still stalking.
The fact that someone else could have doxxed him with enough effort doesn't change the fact that they shouldn't.
It's still a guy who felt the need to delete all his social media online because a media conglomerate was "reaching out" to him.
Anyone else trying to dox him might have not made him do that, and shit his pants like that.

Like they didn't know what they were doing.
Like they didn't want an apology.
Like the guy didn't fully understand what would happen otherwise.
Or anyone here believes he apologized out of repent?

Not the point.
The gif was perfectly fine political comentary. Had he been hunt down for nazi imaginery it'd make sense.
Imagine if they were to out all of you based on the shit you have on your computer, let alone the OC you've made mocking political figures like pic related?
This is MSM, with power comes journalistic responsibility. They could point to literally anyone making shitty edits online and make an "expose", and there will always be some random retards to "cyberbully" him.
Had it been another random guy doxing him and getting into internet catfight, I would have kekked. But I don't feel comfortable with a news outlet doing this.

They did this for no other reason than to make a juicy story, and get back at someone out of butthurt.
It was blown up just to make it seem relevant, and play victim.
They even claimed it incited violence against reporters, ffs.
And liberals, who were somehow masterfully tricked into defending MSM, are buying that up.

Don't see how this looks good for CNN. I saw a twitter thread saying that the guy was 15, if that's true then it's really bad for them.

What a shitfest was this thread
The good kind though

thanks, it fits well the thread

No, it's more bullshit to make CNN look worse

Oh I think you're right. I checked the hashtag this morning and people are saying it was a 15 year old black disabled LGBT trump supporter, lol.

Actually is true. The guy they threatened is a 15 year old black disabeled transgender veteran who's a muslim, a single parent, and also a Bernie voter. So much for the tolerant center.

Better yet "if you disagree with us we'll defend capitalists' right to dox and harass you"

I think it's time for leftypolers to realize they have far more shared interests with libertarians and nazis than what separates us

2 options:

-this pic is misinformation
-it's a badly kept secret

This is just gonna turn into violentcruz part 2 for reddit. Nobody who already hates CNN has changed their opinion on them or will. Hopefully CNN takes a hit along with Reddit but just one platform taking a huge hit is fine with me

These people are morons, like real morons.

Trump is playing them like a damn fiddle.

The only difference between Trump and the other actors in these stories is that everyone expects Trump to be a retard. The fact that CNN had a retarded response to a retard quoting another retard doesn't make Trump a master manipulator

Opposition to the status quo is just about all we have in common.

i wish they'd both lose.

95% of ideology is esoteric mumbo jumbo

My 20th century larping > your 20th century larping is exactly what the elites want.

This story is incidental to our main thrust, not within it. As such it should be noted not to draw too much attention away from other, important topics.
It should be noted that both parties, CNN and le edgy teen, are at fault 'ethically', but more specifically, are at fault in opposing our aims.
CNN, carrying institutional weight as being a mouthpiece of porky, is the greater threat to our aims, and as such, any identification with them as being the 'righteous' side of this conflict should be contextualized.
Even if one opposes the edgy teen, support for CNN's actions (using the Reddit userbase to gather information on this user, contacting the user, and extracting a public apology) sets a precedent to be used against our aims and those who wish to further them, whereby MSM firms do the same, en masse. Before, Fox would see a drop in advertisers, ratings, revenues, and respect if they did something like this to one of us that posted a porky guillotine meme, which would lead to apologies and firings from Fox. Now, especially since CNN doubled-down, Fox et al can do the same with far fewer consequences.

I see this more like a Three Stooges skit: if Moe hits Curly on the head with a giant hammer, it doesn't show great intelligence from Moe. If Curly tries to hit Moe in return with the giant hammer, but fails since it is too heavy for him to wield, it doesn't demonstrate Moe's competence, but Curly's inadequacy. Larry laughs at the situation, so Curly spends an inordinate time and effort to hit Larry on the head with a smaller hammer. This doesn't demonstrate a great show of competence on the part of Curly either.
Moe is Trump. Curly is CNN. Larry is le edgy teen. The hammer is bantz.

Snakes, cats, and owls are all enemies of the mouse just the same. It just so happens that they sometimes get into acrimonious engagements among themselves.

loving this analogy

This isn't recess in grade school. No teacher, NTA or other "big guy" is going to break it up if the right starts wailing on you.

They'd lost like they always do.

How is this not a violation of TOS anyway?
CNN won't go to jail. But how's it going to look for the rich and powerful to bully a nobody over hurt feelings?
Anyway, this threat is enough to encourage a veritable mongol horde of backup trolls. I believe those guys have a name or something. What was it again?

Trumpfags at r/the_donald harass and dox people all the time

Rolled 7, 2, 7, 10, 5, 7 = 38 (6d12)
Got any examples?

DO IT

The r/the_donald discord literally tracked down addresses of anti trump folks
buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/trump-supporters-have-built-a-document-with-the-addresses?utm_term=.lljV8G0wv#.ix7JypGe1

Is r/the_donald a basic cable news service available to about 96,289,000 cable, satellite, and telco television households, and a subsidiary of Time Warner Inc. a multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate headquartered in New York City, the world's third largest entertainment company in terms of revenue, after Comcast and The Walt Disney Company, and was also once the world's largest media conglomerate? Because CNN is. The scale of power are a little different.

but they told me r/the_donald memed the president into office
=^^)

I'm not defending cnn, I'm just saying that it's rich to see r/the_donald taste it's own medicine

lmao

Oh noooooooooooo, that suuuuucks.
Call me when someone of importance, like a policeman or politician, does something similar.

>>>Holla Forums10202599

You gonna take this lying down, Holla Forums?

I hope they eat eachother.

oh the irony

archive.is/dZ07T

nope.
CNN couldn't have found him based only his Reddit history
If that was the case, then someone else would have replicated it and posted it somewhere
they probably called Reddit and got his IP address

what if the answer is that both sides are shit?

actually its very funny to see r/T_D get doxed

Why do so many anarchists look like wizards. This baffles me

because they have magic powers

I honestly do not give two shits if CNN doxxes some Holla Forumstard, they're pretty much the last people allowed to complain about getting doxxed, with that being said, I hope this further damages CNN's credibility, they're by far the worst msm has to offer right next to fox news

Yeah, you know them fashies, they only do things that everyone is okay with.

...

I do enjoy how all of the literal 14 year olds over at Reddit and on Holla Forumsare flipping out over this. Doxxing is basically the only way to shut most them up since it forces them to take ownership of their stupid beliefs.

You can oppose CNN without being a part of Trump's digital Freikorps. A free press is absolutely necessary. Oppose its marketization instead.

"[T]o put freedom of the press in a class under freedom of business is to defend it while killing it in the of course of the defense… Your freedom is not my freedom, cries the press to business… is the press free if it degrades itself to a business? To be sure, the writer must make money in order to be able to exist and write, but on no account must he exist and write in order to make money." - Marx

Journalism funded solely and directly by the people doesn't exist in today's climate - or at least not in a substantial way. (MSM, not YouTube psuedojournos). "Marketization" of journalism is essential in order for media to become as globally widespread as they are, and with that funding comes the inescapable burden of bias from the sponsors, whether they be government or corporate backing.

"Free press" doesn't include blatantly blackmailing a private person. It is sad that being anti-CNN means being automatically branded as a trumpfag.

Shouldn't you be held to your own standards? In that case dox yourself if you're so confident your 100% just in every way.

As was mentioned before: what happened to winning an argument and persuasion by merit of what you say? Denying the discussion from occurring in the first place is extremely suspicious.

accurate depiction
CNN apologists should seriously consider thinking about what theyre defending here. even if he was a racist retard, there no reason to go after him

thats actually a really good reason. also no one is defending porky media

actually CNN is flexing its right to free speech and you are a regressive leftist liberal cuck if you hate that

It goes without saying that CNN shouldn't do this.

It actually doesn't have much impact on my thoughts on them, though. A lot of the people who will get the most out of this are people who read "alternative" sources among which this sort of shitty activity is already par the course. Most of the outrage is bogus and actually based on largely accurate (but excessive) reporting on Trump. So rags that shill for the President are fighting with rags that shill for neoliberalism over things that both of them do. It's an establishment vs. establishment lose-lose. The primary problem with CNN doing this is really the power and influence CNN already holds… but should they lose that, it doesn't go to anyone more ethical or critical or accurate.

The best solution is to support and operate actual leftist media, so that if bullshit like this comes up again we'll be there to actually step in as a viable alternative.

corporations are people and CNN is using its right to free speech fuck off

Shit posting is not argumentation. That adult male deserved it. Let's not equivocate being an internet "''ironic'" Nazi troll with actual users.

Even Hitler needed justifications his people believed were Kosher.

Don't give your enemies political capital.

Well looking at it only 6-8% vote independent,not strong republican, strong republican. For sale of argument, lets say that the independent vote is split 50/50, Meaning vote ~10.5 to ~14.5 % vote republican. Blacks for democrat, this isn't even an arguable generalization. You're retarded, and clearly of some LOW Autism Level skin color.

Not news
Now THERE'S some news.

Again I fail to see why can't the redditor come out and claim that they were blackmailing him for some brownie points

I don't understand this.

On one hand, nobody has a right not to be doxed, because being doxed is literally just someone finding information about someone else and publishing it. On the other hand, it's quite sad that we're in a time where merely espousing a certain viewpoint makes you liable for this to happen to you.

I wouldn't want to be doxed for saying that I'm a Communist online.

I suppose by saying "if you don't want to be doxed, don't say shit that people disagree with online" it's similar to the stupid argument of "you don't have anything to fear if you don't have anything to hide".

Perhaps there is blame on both parts? The guy should have been more careful with his identity, and CNN shoudn't have started their investigation into his identity?

I'm trying not to let the fact that he was a Nazi affect my judgement, though it certainly lowers how much sympathy I have for him.

I just find it hard to believe that someone could actually mean an apology to CNN
If he did the gif in the first place, he already shares our view of how shit it is

It's incredible. A massive corporation squeezes some random guy or kid because of a fucking gif, and when called out they not only refuse to admit they fucked up, but double down on their bullshit. And media people at large, unsurprisingly, are helping supporting their partners in crime. Among the apologists are just about everyone who attacked Gamergate, of course. And speaking of which…

It's incredible seeing all these idiots who loudly proclaim themselves to be the "left" or the "resistance" shill for a 10+ billion dollar corporation.

He's not 15. Stop spouting r/T_D propaganda. He's just your typical virginal 20-30something internet nazi.

Someone in cuck/pol/ claimed he made the original gif, even gave a date and all so you can search the archives. Problem is, it still brings up exactly 200 pages of results to search through.

Does that matter at all?

I love it when Nazbols BTFO /pollacks/ like in this post.

It makes him look even more pathetic. The guy is an adult man who talks with 15 year olds on reddit about how much he hates non-whites on a regular basis. The guy deserves to be mocked.

...

Everyone in this situation is pathetic, let's not kid ourselves. Threatening to doxx someone over a wrestling gif is embarrassingly petty, especially since we're talking about a large media corporation.

the aut-rite killed them :DDDD

massive cocks triggering even your decayed gag reflex

I really should have started archiving all the articles shilling for CNN, the corporativism in media is absurd. They have the balls to call this the doxing and blackmail "journalism".

I said in another thread that I'm growing convinced that freedom of the press is anathema to freedom of speech. Thanks a lot, liberals.

Well I guess, but it's still a crime.

Holy shit this thread.

...

Or he could just be a meme egdelord ironically shitposting. Again this part of your theory (which is the most damning) collapses simply coz it is pure speculation
