CNN Blackmails Reddit User Over Trump Wrestling Movie, Menaces To Expose Identity
Content originally published at iBankCoin.com
CNN is taking warmth for menacing to publish the identity of a private citizen who posted a movie lampooning the network.
Redditor ‘HanAssholeSolo’ is credited as the creator of a clip displaying President Trump hammering 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 from the accusing the President of inciting violence against journalists. CNN media reporter Brian Stelter tweeted this pissy little screed:

While the White House has said the movie didn’t come from Reddit, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski – a total dick, went on a deep dive, uncovering now-deleted posts from ‘HanAssholeSolo’ which the network deemed offensive. CNN determined not to publish the the user’s private details, for now, because HanAssholeSolo has ‘demonstrated his regret’ for the ‘offending posts’ and ‘ugly behavior’ – effectively menacing to expose a private citizen if he doesn’t stay in line.
HanAssholeSolo issued an apology on Reddit Tuesday, calling the movie a "prank, nothing more."
“The meme was created purely as satire, it was not meant to be a call to violence against CNN or any other news affiliation. . I had no idea anyone would take it and put sound to it and then have it put up on the President’s Twitter feed.”
Here’s what people thought about that:

@CNN U basically coerce apology & menace release of identity if something switches? Pretty sure a line is crossed here. #CNNBlackmail https://t.co/k4W9AepP6W

Meantime, CNN’s Andrew Kaczynski has said that people are misinterpreting the article.
This line is being misinterpreted. It was intended only to mean we made no agreement w/the man about his identity. https://t.co/9FL6EvTikx
Sure Andrew. CNN isn’t publishing his name "because he is a private citizen" who "demonstrated regret," yet you reserve the right to expose his identity if you don’t like how he behaves in the future. Sounds like a threat.
While CNN maintains they were able to link HanAssholeSolo’s posts to his Facebook account, a 4chan user claiming to be a CNN insider suggested that CNN obtained his IP address from his ISP and ‘unmasked’ him.

CNN’s latest blunder goes after a devastating week for CNN, whose last shred of credibility was ruined in a blaze of glory by James O’Keefe last week. Reactions to the network’s threat to expose (or ‘Dox’) Redditor HanAssholeSolo have been hilarious. you can see for yourself by searching the hashtag #CNNBlackMail on Twitter.

CNN may have triggered a war against Reddit, 4chan, and an army of hackers.
They have NO idea how ugly this could get. #CNNBlackMail
This should go well for CNN.

CNN failing. Fox takeover bid. lol
Oh the humanity.
The Cartoon News Network must be run by idiots. Zero sympathy if they embark transmitting Anonymous broadcasts over their alleged "news" network. (think V for Vendetta style) LOL.
Using their network to educate may be wasted effort. Their retarded viewers have self-lobotomized themselves to the point that their only purpose is to feed plants by the production of CO2 and in their end, as fertilizer.
Perhaps we should all claim to be in spirit: "HanAssholeSolo".
Well done, Han. No need to apologize to those snowflakes.
Kinda suitable for CNN
LoL fucking LoL
Whistleblower protections for HansAssholeSolo? Especially since the Sitting US President, Donald Trump, did not see a problem in retweeting.
CNN is a quasi-Govt for which Whistleblower protections are needed from this Monopoly, Anti-Trust, Power.
– Post a pic of Pepe, get Doxed by CNN?
– Post a pic of Pepe, get Doxed to Intel Agencies or DNC or RNC by CNN?
– Has it already happened? Doxed by Reddit or CNN or ABC-CBS-NBC-MSNBC-NYT-Wapo-BBC-Sky
LoL those movies fucking hillarious
CNN another own objective.
Guys – when you are in a slot – stop digging.
This is how jews operate a la Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel. These people have no regard foe the goyim, led by their CEO Zucker at CNN. Dirtbags!
Am reading comments on other sites that the person in question is underaged (15 is being thrown around). Is there any truth to this info?
That makes a lot of sense when you consider HanAsshole’s statement that "exposing my identity could cause embarassment to my family". Maybe the kid has been doing stuff his parents wouldn’t like (as in they are tightly in the left/progressive camp) or stuff they specifically told him to stop doing . . .
If this pans out then CNN will have even more explaining to do if the folks at Reddit/4Chan don’t demolish them very first. That won’t be a popcorn moment, it’ll be one which you just walk away (don’t mess with those folks).
They’re only anonymous sources when they work for the government.
HanAsshole is truly an asshole when you think about it. Beyond that the dude is a gutless vulva. Has this stud been living under a rock for the last ten years or so in thinking something like this wouldn’t instantly be pounced on by the usual suspects on the left? Particularly CNN?? If he’s been posting shit that would likely "offend" someone on the left (in other words post something they don’t like) then he should have been ready to be outed sometime, just based on how the buttholes on the left have been acting recently. The bottom line is this kind of blatant censorship via extortion is going to proceed until people posting the stuff the "progressives" and left have a problem with are ready to be outed after they Deny to take down ANYTHING the they doesn’t like. If Han wasn’t the idiot I think he is he would be instantaneously filing a civil suit against CNN for violating his very first amendment rights by using extortion (they indeed are the Communist Nues Netwerk).
The Very first Amendment is indeed the ensure to be able to offend someone without the government, or anyone else, stepping in and stopping you. The people supposedly being offended need to grow the fuck up and begin acting like rational adults. I guess that mentality is what you get when you baby your kids from the time they can walk to the time they graduate from UC Berkley or whatever . . .
ten years ago, this asshole was Five. he would have been living under a pebble, not a rock.
