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

Posted on 07/05/2017 1:18:16 AM PDT by servo1969

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.”

I agree, and I think that’s happening now. They were already declining, so this will just push them over.

Proves to me once again that brain dead indoctrinated millennials run that station which also proves my statement that I’ve made on many occasions that our universities today are doing tremendous damage to the country by indoctrinating and graduating these complete morons who can’t tell their ass from their elbow. These colleges today that receive taxpayer funds and insist on this indoctrination BS MUST be defunded. This angers me so so much, even more than the career criminal Hillary still walking around scot free.

I went to college in the late 70 early 80s and saw for myself the retiring WW2/Korean war era professors and teachers being replaced by the far left radicals of the 1960s, and it’s been a never ending cycle ever since. Those radicals indoctrinated students, those students become educators and indoctrinated students with each generation becoming more radical than the last whereas today we got these kids completely and utterly out of their freakin minds. So much so they are LITERALLY protesting and rioting over the fact that people have FREEDOM! “How dare that person practice his 1st amendment right! Riot! Riot! Smash! Burn!”

Just as a thought: When I went to college - in the leftist state of New York by the way - my car had Reagan for President bumper stickers all over it. Even had a homemade Reagan flag hanging from my car antennae and NOBODY EVER keyed my car, attacked my car, even touched my car. Can you imagine what would happen to it today? It would have probably been smashed, totaled and blown up on the first day of class. Wait, not PROBABLY, but DEFINITELY. That’s how bad it’s gotten now. ENOUGH already! Cut the head off this snake! Defund these indoctrination centers, get these radicals the F OUT of these schools. Political indoctrination has NO business being in taxpayer funded education, there is NO benefit whatsoever for this country to indoctrinate weak minded idiots to leftist ideals..

CNN is either willingly stupid or overtly foolish, I removed them from my TV a long time ago - when GW Bush was your president. The lefties think they are unbiased because CNN parrot their own talking points. I love seeing this.

Who would advertise on CNN at this point? They must have “bled out” advertisers by now.

This is disgusting, taking a page from the Scientologists. Someone should find out the addresses and personal phone #s and email addresses of top CNN leadership and make then public.

I think that has been done by 8 Chan which I thought was known as 4Chan.

If you scroll up slowly you will see the posts.

One has a large image with headshots of hosts and reporters.

Further up I think you will find personal information dug up by the Chan Clan

Interesting read about this CNN situation. The (((usual agitators))) can be found lurking.

Gene Conley, the only man to win titles in both MLB and the NBA, died July 4, at 86.

Conley, a RHP with a 91-96 career record, played on the 1957 World Series Champion Milwaukee Braves, also won three NBA championships with the Boston Celtics.

Conley became the first athlete to play for three professional teams in the same city (Celtics, Red Sox, Braves).

Great athlete. RIP.

We can also tell CNN that IF they apologize and promise NOT to do this again we won't release the names and addresses of their top people.

I'm sure they won't catch the threat, right? Just like we're expected not to catch their threat...
