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.

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.

Saw the link, link doesn't show proof of anything. Just makes unverifiable claims.

The links, within the link/story, show that the photographs continually are used in reference to the same bombing in Aleppo. It is the same girl. It is the same attack.

(sigh) If you don't at least start from a place that there is a chance you are wrong, you will easily be fooled by people telling you things you want to hear, or playing off your emotions.

You would need a CNN article which shows any of those three pictures not associated with Aleppo. Find that, and I'll call CNN "Fake News" with you and follow the original tweeter that started this.

So you are saying the claim that the pictures are of 3 different bombings are verifiable. Go ahead, verify that. LOL.

This one is true. Russia has videos of it.

And still waiting. I guess FortWayne is too scared to address the real issue. CNN is a business, and as a business it will do unethical and immoral things for money. That's capitalism in a nutshell. Don't believe it? Listen to a true capitalist speak.

At least CNN is getting it's comeuppance. It tried to silence speech criticizing it and now is experience the Streisand Effect. CNN's blackmailing a minor has caused it to be associated with fake news, rightfully or not, and so it's hard to have any sympathy for these assholes. Of course, that doesn't make the alt right correct. Everything they publish is fake news and propaganda.
