I said it less than 12 hours ago that CNN would regret messing with 4chan and reddit....I was right as usual. They just opened a can of worms that won't soon stop.
"The Daily Caller" is a worthless rag.

Yeah... telling people the name of the creator of a meme isn't the same as posting the kid's home address, school he attends, his DL number, and his SSN.

Subtlety is lost on people.

Part of me thought: What if CNN had a part in creating the wrestling video? (or some kind of involvement) They cry and whine and get more viewers, if only for a little while.... They talk about it non-stop. ....What if they are in cahoots in some way, .....anything to boost their horrible news format.

That doesn't change the fact that it's true what 4Chan users did.

It's pretty disgusting if you ask me. Lowering yourself to CNN's level.

Donald trump Jr. Was one of the biggest spreaders of the false 15 year old narrative that again came from this group. Jr. Has Been known to monitor this group.


Yes, I know all of this. None of it was pertinent to the point I was making, however. Also, I was trying to be succinct.

I agree with this. Two wrongs don't make a right, and doing this only diluted what CNN did.


Like I said earlier, as soon as CNN blackmailed this guy (not a kid as we thought) the hacking groups would take offense and start acting as his surrogates. Messing with internet freedom, as they did, is the #1 thing hackers hate.

I fully expect there are groups planning DDOS and worse against them.
