New CNN backlash over the wrestling video


Posted: Jul 5, 2017

i knew that video was photoshopped and from years ago but didn't say anything because I would have been bashed by the other side. Well, I was right. I'm sure everyone has heard the newest backlash about CNN but if not, here's a little bit of info. Oh, and you can't say it's fake news or conservative news.  Laughing 

The Reddit user, who has not been publicly identified by name beyond his handle of “HanA–holeSolo,” posted a lengthy apology on Tuesday for crafting the CNN video and for previous Reddit posts widely deemed racist, anti-Muslim and anti-Semitic. He apologized to CNN and to members of the Reddit community for dragging them into controversy that erupted on Sunday when Trump tweeted out the CNN bodyslam video — crafted from an old WWE appearance by Trump prior to his election. The 28-second video depicts Trump tackling a person ringside at a wrestling match whose head has been replaced with the red CNN logo.

CNN asserted in the story by Andrew Kaczynski that it had uncovered the man’s name but decided not to publish it in light of his apology. The Reddit user has deleted his prior posts, including one that featured photos of prominent CNN employees with Jewish stars next to their names.

However, a caveat in the story regarding the possibility of disclosure in the future has sparked anger.

Trump consistently juvenile with his tweets. - sm

Why did anyone vote for him?

Entertainment value? - I'm serious sm

Yes, I'm being completely serious.

Assume the following:
1. Elected officials in both political parties are a joke. (A bunch of rich 1%-ers, or 1% wanna-bes, trying to feel important about themselves.)
2. If things ever get bad enough, both parties will come together to do the right thing. (Thus, electing the wrong people puts us in no real danger.)

Given the above, you might as well vote for someone who doesn't annoy you and has a chance of providing some entertainment value. Right now that's in the form of CNN (and other MSM outlets) embarrassing themselves trying to discredit Trump.

It's hilarious!

If Hillary were president I wouldn't touch the news. Not because I hate her or because I'm against Democrats, she just annoys me. Ryan, McConnell, Schumer, and Pelosi annoy me too. Trump? Not so much.

That's my theory. The more juvenile, the better. Entertainment value!

not an entertainer...

I heard Alyson Camorta brag about this. These CNN - puerile are evil. They sure aren't

real “news” people. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that video. It was a joke political cartoon and protected speech.

They seem to think only "news" is free speech.

CNN made a huge mistake. Doxing is not illegal, threatening to Dox someone unless they do something IS very illegal.

The liberal media is spreading lies about conservatives in - Missouri. It literally is fake news.

The more our conservative pols can take the message directly to the people and bypass the fake news media the better it is.

The news media is making themselves irrelevant. No one is doing this to them but themselves.

I don’t trust any of them them 100%. They all have a narrative; even ones I agree with.

It’s not healthy to live in an echo chamber all the time so one hears only what they want to hear. I want the straight up truth even if I don’t like it. Best case scenario; play the video of the person who originally brought the message like in this case. Hopefully it will become the trend.

Sharyl Attkisson has a new book out called Smear. - I heard her talk about it on Hannity.

It made draining the swamp sound like an overwhelmingly impossible task.

Full title: “The Smear: How Shady Political Operatives and Fake News Control What You See, What You Think, and How You Vote,” from Harper Collins Publishers.

CNN has been lying for years, not just about Trump. They - lied about Rush Limbaugh, too.

Attributing quotes that he never said, but people still believe. Some of it was made up by a little left wing blogger. The Powerline blog wrote a good article about this back in 2009.

Poor Rush! He was a dirty young man and is now a - dirty old man. Boo boo! nm
