CNN Blackmails Reddit User Over Trump Wrestling Video, Threatens To Expose Identity
Zerohedge for theantimedia.org — CNN is taking heat for threatening to publish the identity of a private citizen who posted a video lampooning the network.
Redditor ‘HanAssholeSolo’ is credited as the creator of a clip showing President Trump beating up a man with a CNN logo superimposed over his face, which the President then tweeted on Sunday morning.

In response, CNN and it’s MSM brethren caught the vapors – with pundits accusing the President of inciting violence against journalists. CNN media reporter Brian Stelter tweeted this screed:

While the White House has said the video didn’t come from Reddit, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski went on a deep dive, uncovering now-deleted posts from ‘HanAssholeSolo’ which the network deemed offensive. CNN decided not to publish the the user’s personal details, for now, because HanAssholeSolo has ‘showed his remorse’ for the ‘offending posts’ and ‘ugly behavior’ – effectively threatening to expose a private citizen if he doesn’t stay in line.
