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

Yes they did have control, that doesn't mean that singling someone out because of their race isn't racist.

Everyone is a bit racist, but as a society we try and put that aside to judge people on their merits. I'm not saying cnn did that and just by coincidence they managed to hire all Jews, they are probably racist too (well I'd say nepotism probably played a bigger role). It's not racist to just acknowledge that there is a disproportionate amount of Jews there (although I know progressives would claim it is), but the guy himself said he was trolling and being racist, so...?

So how do you know if the intent of something is racist or not? It's why I get confused by people saying blackface is racist, because those guys who did it were travelling entertainers pretending to be black people. Why would a racist make a living on entertaining people by dressing as a race they hate? Just like when you point out, there there are a lot of *insert race* here. Making observations of something is racist? Imitating something is racist? :\

I'm offtopic now sorry

You mean, Andrew Kazynski claims he said he was being intentionally anti-semitic with his post. He hasn't released the phone calls he had, and Andrew didn't even dox the right person who made the gif or the right Boston bomber, so I don't think his testimony (which has changed more than once about what HanAssholeSolo said) should hold a lot of weight.

My biggest beef with this is that they had the balls to say they "Reserve the right" to dox this dude, like, fuck off. It's not a human right, it's not in the constitution, you dont have the right in the first place. Dox the guy, whatever, it's an asshole thing to do, deal with the consequences. It's always had consequences. That's why chans have the stigma they do, and doxing is your internet wannabe-thug-life-black-market bullshit where everybody's got a dealer but they keep that a secret. Dont try to get all moralistic "right side of history on this one :evil:" you weasely smug motherfucker. Who the fuck gave you the right, who the fuck told you "Yeah it's okay go ahead and print that". And then you act like youre the victim, fuck off. That one thing is what really set most people off, I think. Dox one innocent dude and it's another shooting in Chicago, some rando had something bad happen to him, we all totally feel bad, it's a bad thing that happened, whatever. But say you reserve the right to pull the trigger at any time, and then find out people arent totally cool with that. Had they reigned in their cock they could have saved a bit of face. Had you just "doxed a racist" you would have been a hero, instead you had to wave your dick around, dumbass. This is why personal army shit doesnt exist.

It gets me kinda heated, I was thinking about it to myself at work and wrote basically a journal entry of sperging over it on a post-it. I have other thoughts about it but Ive sperged enough.

I guess in retrospect they felt like the "news article" would have otherwise been "This guy made a mean comment but then retracted it"--which it still is, and it still isnt news.

That doesn't protect them from civil litigation.

Partly agree, but partly disagree. If they'd just straight up doxed the guy I'd be okay with it. It would have been a douche move, and pretty shitty journalism, too, but they'd be well within their rights to do it. It wouldn't be much shittier than the usual shit they do.

Holding it over the guy if he ever dares criticize CNN again is just extortionate, though. It may not legally qualify as blackmail, but it's still reprehensible and despicable and they're basically scum.

(:offtopic:) Stick with the Constitution. Fuck the UNUDHR and its Article 29(2)&(3) disclaimers.

That's true, he posted an apology on the donald but that could have been demanded by kfile. Or even just suggested by kfile, that might be enough given they had his dox. That said, while Hanassholesolo almost definitely wasn't responsible for the president's tweet, he is responsible for the content published by the Hanassholesolo reddit account, kfile's cavalcade of fuck ups don't affect that.

Anyway like I said originally, whether any of the racism stuff is true or not doesn't really matter, it's just being used to distract from an justify cnn's bullshit behaviour.

Is the meme jihad still going on, or has CNN decided to move on to something else to fuck itself with?
