CNN Threatens Reddit User For Exercising Free Speech | #CNNBlackmail [video only]
YouTube.com ^ | Jul 4, 2017 | Stefan Molyneux

As America celebrated Independence Day, the Internet exploded following allegations that CNN threatened and coerced the Reddit user behind the popular Donald Trump/CNN Wrestling meme into silence for exercising his first amendment rights. In an article by CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski, it is detailed how Reddit user HanA**holeSolo “apologized for calls for violence against the press,” took down all his social media posts, begged for his identity not to be released an promised he wouldn’t engage in any similar behavior. The article noted that CNN agreed not to release his name, but “reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

One of his purported post states he left Maryland in 1990.
So caution is advised.

CNN a despicable outfit

Let me count the ways. But there is something else going here. Time Warner (cnn owner) and ATT are seeking approval to merge, and CNN's misconduct could get in the way. Not to mention that the big players expect to make money on entertainment, not fake news. And not to mention that CNN should be trying to recover from the project veritas scandal.

CNN operator: Yes sir, I am connecting you to Mr. Zucker

Time Warner exec: What the hell are you doing?????

CNN attorneys are Dewey, Cheatem and Howe.

If CNN thought their attorneys would keep them out of this kind of trouble, they got cheated. And how!

15? Where’d that info come from?

I hadn’t read that the exposure had gotten that far.

Yeah, it happened quick. And, once inside, I thought “Oh, HECK. I hope no one saw that.”

Until I saw that GIF this morning, I wasn’t sure how I managed to do it.

WOW CNN has completely lost their minds. It is they who have some mental illness.

All their sponsors need to be contacted, and told they are to be boycotted if they persist doing a partnership together.
