NEVER FORGET: A year ago, CNN tracked down and threatened to dox creator of Trump wrestling gif
Was atrocious then, feels worse a year later
In case you needed a reminder that CNN is a garbage network…
A year ago, CNN reporters went out of their way to track down the Redditor who created a gif that poked fun at CNN.
The gif:

Not only did they track down HanA**holeSolo, the Reddit user behind the gif, CNN then bragged about doing so and threatened to dox him.
One year ago today. @brianstelter and @KFILE are still grappling with the PTSD. https://t.co/yKDXsYzRdR

And Reddit user “HanAssholeSolo” is still wondering if Andrew Kaczynski will eventually dox him.

CNN then tried to have Trump kicked off of Twitter for tweeting the gif:
Does Trump’s anti-CNN tweet violate Twitter’s terms? This is the “hateful conduct” policy https://t.co/1oCoXPNNul https://t.co/AhEu7Hwn12

SO BRAVE.
As Mike blogged last year, “Nice private life you’ve got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.”
I’ve almost forgotten what life was like when news conglomerates actually tended to the news business instead of threatening and maligning the private citizenry. But this is our brave new world.

I thought this was going to be about Hana**holeSolo. Nice to know my memory, and yours, is functional.
CNN is a bunch of lying losers, and they deserve all the derision they get.
This is much more awesome:

CNN says the gif is fake news — they claim they would have had Trump immobilized in a Russian bear-hug if they ever had such a confrontation.
Old news. What do we care? CNN is swirling around the drain.
Look at the current state of the MSM. Public opinion of most news agencies and reporters is below that of used car salesmen and attorneys. Anyone, who is not a slack-jawed, gap-toothed mouth-breather, KNOWS that the MSM is the worst purveyor of propaganda since Pravda and Joseph Goebbels. It has been for decades, but now, the masks are all off.
We are seeing the federal government beginning to prosecute members of the government for leaking classified information to select members of the MSM. Reporters are being identified and losing their jobs. It is a small step to the point where these journalists are charged with receiving classified information and sharing cell space with the government employee leaker. The MSM has destroyed itself and will never recover. At this point, the cable news networks are running almost continual panel shows, which are long on opinion and short on actual news coverage. The most widely used news source in the US is Drudge, which is nothing more than selected articles produced by other news sources, mostly print media.
The news media is DRT. It just doesn’t know it yet.
Just like Megyn Kelly. They stop reporting the news and make themselves the news.
