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 wonder what Eric Landon is up to (the bike lock terrorist).


.
Has Eric Landon been in court lately?

Is he complying with the terms of his bail?

Every CNN employee must die. Every CNN building must be razed. Let the name CNN be uttered nowhere, utterly erased from history.

Why is that CNN can find a guy who made a gif, in a matter of hours but they still can’t find any Russian hackers?

Down Laz, down, good boy...Laz is a good boy. Seriously, dude go get some coffee. Exposing CNN fake news is a very good thing but don't use the left's tactics. Maybe I misses a /sarcasm tag in your comment? :-)

Molyneux’s video is the first response I’ve seen from one of YouTube’s heavy hitters.

Who else do you watch on You Tube besides Molyneux?

Reddit users: Time to tear into the personal lives and sordid details of everyone working for CNN.

Why isn’t FoxNews got any mention of this on their web site?

Time-Warner is the parent company of both Reddit and CNN

Here's another classic:

Classic You Tube on Trump vs CNN memes.

8Chan is already doxxing CNN as we speak:

In one, a Reddit user warns of a looming “journocaust” — presumably a holocaust for journalists. In another, a Twitter user says there’s “a civil war coming” and that memes — specifically, the antisemitic one by the creator of the video that Trump shared — are “the least” of Sexton’s problems.

That's the "death threat"? Somehow this is not as directed as "CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change", which sounds like the old mafia warning, "Nice place you got here. Be a shame if anything was to happen to it."

So CNN can’t find Hillary’s emails, Lois Lerner’s hard drive, or Seth Rich’s killer, but they can hunt down a kid who made a wrestling video they didn’t like?
