You're fucking joking, right?

You think it's perfectly fine for a major media corporation to expose, threaten, and blackmail people because they posted a GIF of the President wrestling someone with their logo superimposed over the face?

Can't help but think of the timing of all this. CNN getting bent out of shape over a gif while remnants of 'nothing burger' was still in the air.

Now, no one needs to talk about 'nothing burger' anymore because this is recent events and therefore everything before it is no longer relevant.

Maybe people should take responsibility for what they post. He is not the first person to be doxxed by a news organization.

This guy may not have a very clean record when it comes to his history on the internet, but that's not the point. The point is that CNN went after him over a GIF and abused the shit out of their power.

i dont think it's ethical but i would be naive if I pretend this was the first time a big corporation is threatening exposing someone's identity.

if you're gonna create politically-charged memes, man up to the backlashes of your work. Don't hide behind a screen and keyboard.

How is that a politically charged meme? That's tame AF compared to most political content.

Anyway there would be a million ways to handle this better than how they did. In fact out of those million, they chose literally the worst one.

I really miss that show. The opening scene for the show was amazing

Someone should make a clip of the Newsroom intro followed by Aaron Sorkin just staring off into space with a dumbfounded look on his face EleGiggle

No suprise to me that Manic would be PRO big companies bullying the little guy.
See how he likes it when the gas company tells him to stop expressing his opinion on RS cuz it reflects badly on their brand.

wait, so the president posted a meme made by a reddit user, and CNN goes after the reddit user? Shouldn't they go after trump? lol
