I haven't seen confirmation, but they are saying the creator of the Trump CNN wrestling meme was a 15 year old boy. if so, way to go CNN-blackmailing/threatening a 15 yr old kid.

#CNNBlackMail is all over twitter this morning. #1 trending hash tag.

Liberals threaten everyone who disagrees with them

By definition, anyone who threatens someone over political speech is conservative, not liberal. Liberals, by definition, believe that people should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they aren't infringing upon the rights of others.

Really you should blame capitalists as it is the CNN capitalists who are threatening this boy because they are afraid his meme will harm their revenue streams. It's all about money, and capitalism is the cause of this blackmail.

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.

CNN is able to find a 15 year-old random Reddit user but has no idea how Donna Brazile got the DNC debate questions???

Amazing how CNN reported their own blackmail.. Someone at CNN needs to go to jail for this.

No one cares about your lame word games Dan.

Up is down
Wet is dry
CNN is Conservative

Independents point out Dem/Libs' & Rep/Cons' stupidity.

Translation for the two trolls: they cannot refute that the CNN blackmail is due to capitalism. And that's the bottom line.

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.

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.

23   Tenpoundbass   2017 Jul 5, 6:17pm  

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.

26   Booger   2017 Jul 5, 7:22pm  

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

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!"
