Several anchors and reporters at CNN have had their home addresses published and have received threats of rape and other violence in the wake of a story published by Andrew Kaczynski, who heads up the network’s investigative K-FILE team. Anti-network trolls are encouraging viewers to wrongly accuse CNN staffers of pedophilia and child pornography. There is also “tons of anti-Semitism.”
“Frustration” is the predominant feeling inside CNN, The Mirror has learned.
Kaczynski published a story on the 4th of July in which he appeared to threaten to publish the name of a Reddit user who parades around anonymously as “HanAssholeSolo.” HanAssholeSolo claimed to be the originator of the wrestling video tweeted by President Trump in which POTUS flattened a wrestler whose face was a CNN logo.
Trump has long accused CNN of being “fake news” and “very fake news.”
The network seems to be fulfilling Trump’s need for a public enemy. In other words, CNN fills the void for “Low energy Jeb,” “Little Marco,” “Lyin’ Ted” and “Crooked Hillary.” In recent months, CNN has become a virtual punching bag for Trump supporters. The reason doesn’t often matter. Be it White House correspondent Jim Acosta bitching about press access or “New Day” host Chris Cuomo deleting a tweet, they’re drunk on hate and their perception that the network is not giving Trump a fair shake. They delight in clobbering the network as much and as often as possible. Do You Think Andrew Kaczynski Is A Good Journalist Overall?

To be sure, Kaczynski’s home address has been posted online as have those of various CNN anchors and reporters.
“Frustrated by our critics’ double standards,” a CNN insider said on condition of anonymity. “Frustrated that CNN staffers’ private information is being published in ‘retaliation’ — when the network made the decision to not out the Reddit user. Frustrated by the speed in which misinformation, lies and hate spreads. Frustrated that POTUS’s son has no accountability.”
Some CNN employees are taking steps to protect themselves, but details are hush-hush as revealing them could jeopardize employing safety measures in the first place.
Kaczynski called out Donald Trump Jr. for posting incorrect tweets. “Don Jr. knowingly spreads lies,” my source told me.
For one thing, the Reddit user in question is not 15 but a middle-aged man.
Secondly, Kaczynski never deleted his tweet.
I guess CNN intended to make an example out of him so that no one would make fun of CNN without fear. I don’t get how they “cheer” assassination in the park featuring a Trump look alike and then complain that their lives are at risk. I don’t think families should be involved in this. CNN has damaged the country and tried to throw the election so they aren’t innocent in any way, shape or form. I don’t believe they were being magnanimous when they said they’d hold this over his head in case of future misbehavior. I don’t think this was about antisemitism per se - it was about their ego. If they wanted to, they could spend all day attacking antisemitism online. No - they looked for “dirt” on this guy and wanted it to haunt him the rest of his life.
“It’s the seriousness of the charge...”
This is what liberals do.
I was at one of the DC Chapter Walter Reed rallies a few years back (to support the troops and counter protest the Code Pinkos who had vicious signs like “Enlist here to die for Halliburton” and such. You get the idea.
I took up station right outside the gate, and we had taken all the parking spaces up the street...perhaps 50-100 yards up the street the Code Pinkos were out (they got pushed up the street because they stupidly let their protest permit lapse, and Trooprally snapped it right up when he renewed his.
Typical liberal inefficiency.
Anyway, as I was standing there, I noticed a woman walking slowly down the sidewalk towards us, stopping occasionally. She was older, thin, and somewhat unhealthy looking, and was walking a bit like a zombie. I was concerned...she looked like she was completely disoriented...she was wearing pink running shorts and a t-shirt, had long scraggly hair, and I was going to go over and ask her if she needed help, and mentioned her to one of the DC Chapter folks who looked at her and just said “Don’t bother. It’s one of the Code Pinkos.”
I looked back at her again, then said “I think there is something wrong with her. Look at her she just stops, doesn’t move, then starts shuffling again...what is she doing?”
He said “She is taking pictures of our license plates so they can post them on their website. They somehow think they are outing us for rallying here to support the troops.”
It was then I realized how mentally unhinged those people are. CNN is the same.
I’ve had some pretty spooky fallout in real life from online commentary before. Not from FR, to my knowledge there are very few people who know for a fact who I actually am. I’ll admit that a determined person could probably piece it together from info and details provided here over the years, though. Might not have been too bright in hindsight but it is what it is at this point. I’m not going to cower or shut up.

CNN knew damn well that if they doxxed this guy he was gong to get (real and genuine) death threats.
So, while I think these sorts of threats against the families of the ersatz journalists at CNN are quite wrong, I also believe the management and these same reporters should not be so amazed that the same things they threatened a gag writer with are being turned on them. Keeping in mind also that the hateful lies that these same people at CNN have been making against any and everyone on our side of the aisle have no moral equivalence to a silly animated wrestling meme.
Truly the arrogance and hubris of these people at CNN is beyond measure.
Imagine how different things would be if CNN had just been purveyors of honest news for all Americans instead of rabid anti-Trump anti-Republican journo-jihadists with an extreme leftist agenda.
Karma
I don’t know, but I was reading my Facebook earlier, and there was a list of groups I should join. They were all anti Trump. I’ve never had that before. So one of Facebook’s immature employees tweaked their programming to promote anti Trump pages. I guess they want folks to join anti truth pages such as the ones that the Scalise Shooter participated in.
Definitely a case of ‘guilt by association’.
Lie down with dogs, don’t be surprised to wake up with fleas.
Work for a shiite organization, pay the penalty when the SHTF.
I can imagine these ‘smug’ staffers running around gloating when ‘they’ were on top, now that the lid has finally been blown off the scum, take them down.
That has been their goal since D Trump got seriously in the race, the higher he got, the more they turned up the flame.
Sounds like the flame got out of control and now they are suffering from blow back.
How do we know the accusations are wrong? They all seem like pervs to me.
If only CNN had taken such a hard-nosed investigative attitude on Benghazi, or Fast and Furious, or HRC's emails, or Bernie's wife. But CNN is always in full coverup mode for extremists and full attack mode for republicans. I'm surprised they didn't get this treatment earlier. But I bet it doesn't stop anytime soon.
Like....moving?
Heh heh heh...
Conversely, one way to discredit any really bad info or accusations that appear to be coming to light in the near future would be to get out in front of it with even wilder stuff that is patently absurd, so that the revelation originally feared seems tame by comparison and also lumped in with the tinfoil stuff. They may have planted it themselves, in other words, to overshadow and discredit anything genuine that might come out as a result of doxxing by the Chans.
CNN can't take out Trump, so they gin up their rage on some poor shlep. It all seems eerily reminiscent.
I hope at&t backs out of the merger.
We are at war. The ROE are pretty much up in the air right now. But the consequences of losing are damned clear. I support these warriors. It’s going to get way uglier real quick.
Love that one!
People also used to say, "Never pick a fight with anyone who buys ink by the barrel." And I suppose we can extend that to our digital era of electronic "ink".
But my, how things have changed for the better! It's now:
“Cnn, like all whores, is going down hard”.
I like your thinking.
Will they re-organize and start over or just muddle along?
Or cease to exist?
