Everything else aside...to make the decision to threaten individual liberty on the 4th of July has to be the Worst Timing Ever.

Yep, and they poke fun at Christy for spending time on a beach he closed.

CNN spinning it on their network as a big win:

I wonder how many weeks / months / years the guy has to keep quiet before the blackmail threat ends? The rest of his life?

I’m shocked at some of the (anonymously posting) FR members who are defending CNN over this.

Reddit?? not just them... 4chan and 4chan is public interface to Anonymous

CNN really f-—up big time...doxing a user is an act of war to these people

CNN...I’m afraid all you’ve done is awaken a sleeping giant and fill it with a terrible resolve ...And you know how that ended last time

If I were any good with video editing, I would redo the scene in 1984 where O'Brien is strapping the rat cage to Winston's face, replacing the rats with a couple of snarling CNN logos.

'CNN,' said O'Brien, still addressing his invisible audience, 'although a rodent, is carnivorous. You are aware of that. You will have heard of the things that happen in the poor quarters of this town. In some streets a woman dare not leave her baby alone in the house, even for five minutes. CNN is certain to attack it. Within quite a small time it will strip it to the bones. It also attacks sick or dying people. It shows astonishing intelligence in knowing when a human being is helpless.'

'I have pressed the first lever,' said O'Brien. 'You understand the construction of this cage. The mask will fit over your head, leaving no exit. When I press this other lever, the door of the cage will slide up. These starving brutes will shoot out of it like bullets. Have you ever seen CNN leap through the air? It will leap on to your face and bore straight into it. Sometimes they attack the eyes first. Sometimes they burrow through the cheeks and devour the tongue.'

Who knows - maybe some day we’ll have the power to destroy the lives of liberals who post political things we don’t like...

Not that we should ever aspire to being thugs on the level CNN’s a thug - but it might give the effing liberals something to think about.

Rush stealing your idea!

Saying Trump’s CNN tweet is just a harmless cartoon like the Road Runner beating the coyote.

Who is going to be the first to make a CNN meme out of this great Monty Python sketch?

If they had found his name and reported it, I would not have liked it. But you could make the case that they were entitled to do so under the First Amendment.

But they did not report his name, they blackmailed him into a Soviet-style public apology. And they have made statements that appear to threaten to continue blackmailing him unless he "gets his mind right". Totally out of bounds.

Gainor said, “The response is unified Left and Right,” referring to the strong objections to what CNN did, adding, “CNN is supposed to be a news organization, not a blackmail organization. And you cannot read that story the way it’s written without thinking that they’re threatening this guy.”

“I want people to understand this,” said Gainor. “Any anonymous post you’ve ever made on the Internet could be used to destroy you under this philosophy. I’m sorry. That’s not what a news organization does. That is what the mob does,” said Gainor.
