and now they attack entire organizations and making them crazy.


Most recent, and what spurned this thread, is CNN losing their shit over a wrestling meme, then threatening to dox a rando if he didn't apologize

Their whole staff is going insane on air, look at Sally Kohn losing her shit over a meme

It's crazy to think that 15-20 years ago, they were the channel that peopl immediately turned to see when some major shit went down. And now most people would trust TMZ and EW over CNN

Just look at the first hour of CNN. Early on in its first hour, they stopped a series of commercial when they had important news to air. Calling CNN (and journalism in general) a shell of its former self is extremely generous.

Slightly disagree, in this particular case nothing bad really happened other than a middle aged meme lord getting embarrassed but i find it troubling that a giant multinational corporation can put its resources into harassing a private citizen and the response is "it was justified because he believed the wrong thing." I'm not sure I want to live in a world where that's a precedent.

I guess I don't see what the big deal is. A guy made a meme, it went viral, a news organization went about finding out who he is. It's kind of what they do on the reg. Finding out who he is, if nothing else, puts to rest the "omg he was a 15 year old kid" shitstorm.

It's less the "finding out who he is" part so much as the Kind Regards treatment they gave him.

I think it's more about how the article was basically "we found who made this meme and made him apologize under threat of revealing his identity to the public, aren't we so great and awesome journalists?"?

it's like this.

"i don't like cnn and i don't like what it did though normally i'd be fine with it if the person they did it to was on the other side."

the way it looks, to me, is that we've got some cognitive dissonance up in here.

At what point do we officially stop calling a news organization legitimate?

I find it funny and scary that they doxxed a 15 year old kid for a gif. If they're that so out for blood, it kinda says something sinister about their agenda. This just gives more weight to Trump whenever he calls CNN "Fake News".

Again, it's not the doxing which bothers us. It's the threats. If CNN just outed the guy without contacting him we'd probably just call them cucks. Maybe a bit of outrage since it'd still be a monolithic corporate entity acting so petty and hypocritical. But instead they fucking call the guy and say "apologize right now or we'll give your dox over to the Bike Lock Brigade".

*doxed

also was it confirmed that he was 15? not that it really matters, tbh. shitty thing for cnn to do and all, though it makes you wonder how some tard from cnn was able to figure out who this kid was, unless the kid made it painfully easy to figure it out. if you're gonna edgelord, at least cover your tracks, because you'll never know when people start digging for shit.
