Supposedly CNN got the wrong guy. See https://www.buzzfeed.com/ryanhatesthis/how-a-random-gif-from-reddit-probably-ended-up-on-president?utm_term=.nsDPzbALR#.rlxQLBkwG

Twitter says that the author of the gif Trump used is a Mexican who came out on 4chan. Reddit claims that CNN broke multiple laws: https://www.reddit.com/r/The_Donald/

As much as I dislike Donald for constantly making an ass out of himself (I do not think it is presidential to tweet this kind of crap), CNN has soiled itself to the point where no one with a half of brain can take them seriously. Hopefully this is the final nail in their coffin and we get some news where instead of partisan bleating we have analysis and confrontation of those in power. But then again it is very unlikely to happen.

In CNN's defense, this girl is just really unlucky.

CNN is Conservative

retarded, more precisely, just like nearly all other "news" sources

The left is nuttier than a fruitcake.

I'm finally starting to understand Trump. When he said that we'd be tired of all of the winning, he was referring to his twitter antics trolling CNN. He was right. It's kind of tiring.

Wouldn't be cool if Trey or Matt did that one?

he's cheaper than Cable as far my entertainment dollars go.

Even Leftist rag Vox is piling on CNN for its bully tactics, calling their threat against a private citizen a call for mob justice!

There's just no excuse for this news organization. They need to be shut down.

CNN. can't get Trump, so they go after HanAssholeSolo instead.

But hey, I bet you're not going to denounce capitalism for blackmailing a minor to protect revenue streams. I mean, that would require you to apply your principles consistently.

And still waiting, FortWayne. Come on, you denounced the blackmail as evil. Now admit it's evil caused by capitalist greed.

Fake news already debunked alert:

Somehow I doubt that will stop zzyzzx from posting the fake news. I don't think he cares that it is fake. It supports his team. That's all that matters. Fuck the truth.

Fake news already debunked alert: "this triptych simply captures one girl being passed around from one rescuer, caretaker, or family member to another in the same disaster zone as part of humanitarian efforts undertaken after the same single bombing event in Syria that left 16 people dead."

It's the White Helmeted Jihadi Propagandists, whose headquarters were found covered in pro- Jihadi Graffitti.

CNN: "Anonymous Memes must stop, very hurtful! People can say horrible and untrue shit anonymously on the internet. We will out private individual shitposters in the name of DECENCY and JUSTICE!!"

Also CNN: "Our anonymous source says 17 agencies.... an official high in the admin told CNN that... According to a highly placed individual... We have to protect the Politicians and Powerful Insiders who leak us true or untrue information for their own purposes! For FREEDOMZ!"

The funniest part is now every internet forum with have a HanAssholeSolo user.

43   lostand confused   2017 Jul 6, 10:44am  

I am surprised they even announced their blackmail publicly. Well lefties are so sure of their version-it is like the jihadis who kills a bunch of innocent women , children and men and then shout from the rooftops they did it. They are so proud of their actions. The lefties are the same-so sure of their ideology, that they cannot consider themselves to be wrong.

He who is silent is taken to agree.

Now they are denying the plain meaning of their original publications... Sad

The REAL question is: If Bill Clinton commits a rape during CNN news hour, does anybody hear about it?

55   bob2356   2017 Jul 8, 5:27am  

Christ you guys are desperate to believe in bullshit. Cnn says it was a middle age guy they talked to. The guy posted an apology on redditt. The pizzagate clown was the one who tweeted it was a 15 year old. It's true because I believe it should be true rides again.

I have to give CNN (not at all a news source I would use) the benefit on this one.

Nice bit of stupidity with the refugee pictures zzyzzx. Way above average for you.
