>CNN decided not to publish the name of the Reddit user out of concern for his safety
They admit revealing his identity would put him in danger.. but the threat to reveal it if he didnt stop memeing is still active
This is beyond blackmail. They are threatening his safety if he memes again
I hope Ted will sue them to hell and back.
So how will all this drama affect the AT&T-Time Warner merger?

I thought this as well.
>We didn't release his name because he could be lynched and murdered.
>But we reserve the right to release his name if he fucks with us ever again. That little bitch gonna be lynched and murdered.
I don't care how hard CNN tries to spin this away.
Their whole narrative is that they're being bullied and just trying to stick up for themselves, but then they go and do this, which is 100% bully behavior.

A fine response from a man who is an actual journalist. Note that Greenwald is very anti-Trump, yet has standards.

That makes the "Should any of this (apology and deleting bullshit) change, we reserve the right to release this information." line all the more damning. They fucking KNEW this kid could come to harm, so saying that is a direct threat to that person's safety. Funny how words expose one's true intentions.

Thanks op. I've been on the fence about this whole thing being a simple gaffe
You've opened my eyes to see that it was intentional
