Earlier this morning CNN host Chris Cuomo tweeted out, then promptly deleted, a message asking whether he should reveal the name of the Reddit user who made the now infamous Trump-CNN wrestling video. He went on to imply that the whole purpose of outing the video's creator would be to humiliate him for other posts he shared anonymously on a Reddit thread.

"Should CNN reveal name of Reddit user who made trump wrestling video? Had a lot of bigoted and hateful material on page and website."

Cuomo's tweet seemed to mimic a similar threat made by CNN's Andrew Kaczynski that was released earlier this morning (which we covered here).

CNN

Unfortunately for Cuomo, Kaczynski and all of CNN for that matter, it seems they probably should have brushed up on their knowledge of extortion laws before making their thinly-veiled threats. As Ted Cruz subsequently pointed out, Georgia law (the home of CNN's headquarters) strictly defines "theft by exortion" to include "dissemination of any information tending to subject any person to hatred, contempt, or ridicule or to impair his credit or business repute."

Quit watching these fake news losers continue to lie and spread hate & division.

Sort:  

I dont think he was a 15 year old, the reedit account said he was a grad student multiple times in the past, anyway still fuck CNN for black mail and thinking they are the arbiters of the internet

You might be right......I'm gonna leave the headline to this post the way it is anyway......let CNN and Cuomo get a little taste of what fake news is. Hey that gives me an idea!

It's so disgusting to see that fake and doctored news is constantly being pushed in our faces. Thanks for the post man.

@broncnutz - I am amazed to see this 'holier than thou' attitude being taken by the media. I think they are really stepping out of bounds if they are down to tactics almost resembling blackmail. It pains me to see such abuse of media power. Thanks for voicing your opinion on this

It's disgusting to see that fake news! This shows their desperation, because they know that in the US they are losing the battle!

But in Europe ...
