What the hell CNN

[The Grand Nudger]

Reddit is a shitheel safe space, dontcha know.  The alt right snowflakes get muy triggered when someone suggests that they may, someday, have to eat their own words.

I'm of the opinion that the situation is pathetic on all sides. Obviously this guy, whoever he is, is a fuckstick - but CNN shouldn't be so casual about the doxxing threat. I'd say they're better than that but CNN is generally a slightly less necrotic lump of shit than, say, FOX. Then there's the reaction from both sides of the political minefield - sorry, spectrum.

Moreover, I'm consistently amazed that so many people can sustain this level of indignation day in, day out. I mean what the fuck guys.
I can manage one good squirt of genuine anger a week nowadays. The threshold of my disgust has been raised so high you could draw up plans to continue where the Third Reich left off in my kitchen and I could maybe muster a sternly-worded letter to your local representatives, as long as it was short.

It's impressive, and eerie - I mean I'm drinking the same water as everyone else, so it's not that...

- man publicly posts repeat occurrences call for the death of an entire people (genocide)
- man also posts publicly information about his identity
- The President Of The United States retweets one of his Tweets, making him 10x more newsworthy
- man realizes he can easily be identified for his continuous calls for violence and genocide and wants to avoid that

And we're seeing people blame CNN?

For a publicly identifiable racist?

What?

Yeah, fuck you too dyresand. You're why I left Reddit. Nothing is free online. Not even racism or calls for violence. Say that shit when publicly identifying yourself, you asked for it.

It's called "accountability".

If you don't want that, don't fucking post PUBLIC INFORMATION of your identity. Is this someone's first day on the internet? Because it's always been this way.

Let me clarify a few things because you are mad at me. Okay 1. i didn't defend the guy 2. CNN clearly made a threat 3. CNN violated said persons privacy and ended up getting the wrong person. 

If you look further into what's happening you would be pissed off they had a third party do the investigation since CNN and time warner a thing they had a third party do the "investigation" and got the reddit users IP. Note we had regulations put in place so stuff like that couldn't happen now our IP internet data is out there for anyone one to buy. I am not saying what that reddit users posts were  good or funny you overlooked that and  said fuck you.  I never said it was good all i am is what the fuck there is tons racist shit out there CNN could attack but as soon as someone makes a meme about them they get defensive. CNN has lost a large chunk of their credibility they will go after anything. There is way more racist shit on reddit they could put a spot light on but they put on one reddit user.  And i certainly don't agree with all  the internet deregulation that has been happening lately even with our IP and other data being sold.

and yes i do agree there is a accountability problem on both sides more so lately on CNN because they need to actually report the god damn news instead of making shit up.
The news is a important entity to people and for people not to trust the media that is wrong in a democracy. On the redditor side yeah they should have accountability to what they post
and Trump slamming the CNN logo was hilarious it was satire.

LOL, welcome to the new normal, eh?  I suspect that this is the entire point.  To dilute the issue and narrative so much that apathy kicks in.  Some folks count on others not caring, or being unable to muster a give-a-fuck due to what seems like a mountain of shit all crashing down at once.  It's obviously working.

@Dyre
Sure, there's lots of terrible shit on reddit, but most of it isn't being retweeted by POTUS. That makes it more newsworthy than some rando posting gas chamber memes. CNN doesn't seem to have a credibility problem, even though it has a problem with tons of #alternative loons claiming that it does......more people trust the crescent than the president. I wonder why that is? It sure as shit shouldn't be that way, IMO. After all, they're just a cable class 24 hour infotainment network that would, if the ratings were right, run 100% squirrel coverage.
