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.
Yeah, but I’d have to believe they’re that smart.
All good points.
But this is more about CNN going after internet posters. It’s a threat to every anonymous poster on 4chan / Reddit / here that they might be threatened and exposed unless they comply.
That was what sent the minions to arms. These are folks who will cause serious problems for CNN and anyone who works there. You’re talking tens of thousands of people with the skills and knowledge to hack, expose, ridicule.
The one silly CNN wrestling Meme will be multiplied 100,000 fold in the next two weeks.
The decision to pursue the HanA-hole guy was made ‘at the highest levels’ of CNN’s power structure.
Guess they have no clue what they’re up against.
Yea, I first heard of 4chan when they outed the professor who nearly killed a guy with a bicycle lock. I agree...incredible bunch - CNN needs to get around a bit more of they’ll continue to be on the receiving end of their own dirty tricks.
Threatening a nobody over a stupid editorial cartoon, and that’s all this was, was a fatal mistake by CNN.
I think forcing them is the only fitting justice here.
Let’s see how fast the next MSM outlet is to try this.
My guess is, NEVER.
Thanks for posting. Mark Steyn is always on target.
Well, they're democRATs...and queers. It probably is true.
I have no idea where that last gif is from (originally), but it cracks me up every time I see it :)
I do! The Fraudulent Communist News Network (FCNN) is reaping what they've sewn.
This is what they get for thinking they're the arbiters of what people can and cannot say, what is acceptable political speech and what is not, and their attempted blackmailing of a reddit user for a comical CNN/WWE Takedown video.
Bastards are getting what they deserve. FCNN!
They can dish it out but can’t take it.
forcing was supposed to be doxxing there
sorry
Exactly correct!
The public faces and foot soldiers of CNN might be looking pretty idiotic these days, but somebody highly placed in that org isn’t stupid in the least, look at their contractual agreements for distribution, airports, hospitals, doctor’s office waiting rooms, on and on, also operating with a government subsidy or so I’m told. That took some planning, forethought and major connections.
Have you seen what’s being posted on 4chan/8chan etc.?
The reporter’s family, their addresses, their work phone numbers. Basically, anyone these folks know, love, or live near are exposed in doxxing.
And that was within a few hours of this starting. Sure it’s worse by today.
This might make CNN reconsider their actions. We have to remember this is how the Left fights.
Heh! Zuckers....
LOL
Btw, I don’t support doxxing by or of CNN.
*****************
It’s the seriousness of the child porn charges that must be considered ,,, confiscate every computer and thumb drive at all or their houses for inspection.
You know your stuff. They’re in serious trouble.
How do you think this plays out? Will CNN cease to exist?
Me either, but it summarizes things very well. LOL.
