So richly deserved. Lay it on folks!

That GIF is a riot. (I’m sure CNN is not on the trail of the poor bastard who made the video so they can threaten him into silence.)

Oh man; these GIFs and memes just get better and better!

CNN is already playing the “statement was misinterpreted / out of context” card. Wile E Coyote has yet again run off the edge of a cliff.

CNN has accomplished the Houdini-esque feat of turning itself into the villain after President Trump tweeted a gif of himself body-slamming the CNN logo and punching it. This should demonstrate once again that Trump isn’t ruining CNN — CNN is so obsessed with Trump that it’s busily ruining whatever is left of its credibility. http://hotair.com/archives/2017/07/05/cnn-threaten-reddit-user-created-trumps-wrestling-meme/

“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?”

It’s tough to find imaginary people. They’d have just as much luck finding the Tooth Fairy.

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

When your enemy is making a mistake, let him.

What’s wrong with the video of Trump bashing the CNN head - it was a joke! It should be noted that most excellent humor has a significant basis in reality :)

Julian Assange‏ -

A multi-billion dollar TV network blackmailing a private citizen into not making funny videos about it is not journalism, CNN. #CNNBlackmail

“Tomorrow should be epic.”

Maybe starting today.
The fearsome pol autists were Reeeeeeeeeeee!-ing like endless locust swarms of cicadas last night.
It was like, “Nobuddy steps on a Redditors benis but us.”

This was some outrageous milk-money taking intimidation.
CNN is the pits, I didn’t think they could go any lower.

I should think that the time for spin or walking things back in an instance such as this would be sometime BEFORE the topic hits Number 1 on both Drudge and Twitter.

And if your source is Kaczynski......

What have you in mind for your next joke?

I’d bet CNN didn’t stop at “reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”

My bet is CNN threatened to release not only his name, but his address, and more if he didn’t comply with their blackmail.

I’d say CNN is lying by omission on this one.

Blackmail is a criminal offense. Wondering how CNN will spin what they did to this guy to avoid prosecution?

Just a thought.
