tl;dr: CNN became fixated on the redditor known as HanAssholeSolo because he claimed he created the gif that Trump tweeted, but as it turns out, he was mistaken. The gif that Trump used was a different file entirely that just happened to also be the clip of Trump pummeling Vince McMahon with CNN's logo imposed over his face

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DD-4QkuXgAMTpBe.jpg

Basically, CNN torpedoed their own reputation for no reason. What an amazing failure.

They should care about how CNN appears to care more about bringing down the president than they care about telling the truth.

I think it's funny that people care so much about a news outlet

like who actually follows the news

I am aware I'm on current events but since when has current events actually been anything more than a shit talking board

exactly how i feel. the meme itself was amusing, i think, and definitely not a serious issue.

trump retweeting it is just more trump being trump, which is sad, but not unusual

The meme isn't as important as how CNN is so willing to issue threats and spread false information.

I love this attitude. People get bent out of shape because of Trump tweeting, but as soon as shade is cast on something from their camp, suddenly they're totally apathetic, and it's weird to care about it at all.

CNN is the one that goes off the deep end (in fact, someone should create a CNN logo over Xsquadder hitting himself against the cruiser), and you're still blaming Trump.

Unbelievable.

Ahh, I didn't read the BuzzFeed report at first, but yeah, this actually kinda does make CNN look even WORSE here, especially if they went after HanA##Solo and turns out, it's not his creation.

Man, this stupid story just makes CNN look even WORSE.

CNN should've just chuckled about that tweet, or just ignore it.

But now...BWAAHAHAHA this is just sad on all aspects for CNN.

The author of the gif was never newsworthy in the first place. It would be worth talking about if, say, Bannon created the gif himself, but some random dude taking credit on reddit? Come the fuck on. Leave those silly non-stories to the clickbait Facebook pages

Unless that person has an audience and a major news network behind them, this is not an equal comparison.
Doxxing and threats of doxxing are bad and it's worse when professionals do it.

And if that happened, him and his family would've been publicly harassed by lunatic leftists. Perhaps even murdered if there's someone out there who's crazy enough (There are).

Vipa doesn't understand threats. He thinks that if someone threatens you and you give in to their demands, that was your choice because you could have chosen to not give in.
