Anti-Trump Hysteria and Silliness

I guarantee CNN will react to this reaction in the wrong way. Smart move is to apologize, say they over reacted and move on. Instead, they'll view this as an "attack on the media" and "likely to get a reporter killed".

Now this is a no go for me. Fight back in other ways, don't stoop to the same level.

Exactly. Cnn has brought this on themselves.
4Chan has taken off the gloves.

Jake Tapper has to be losing his mind - he had indirectly already called out the media for getting in the game.

All they threatened to do was seek a comment from them all. Not ruin their lives.

This will make a great case study for PR crisis management and/or broadcast journalism classes. Maybe I'll see if I can get assigned to teach one.

I dare anyone, anyone on this forum to defend what CNN did.

And you best come with a better reason than "but TRUMP!"

What did they do? I don't watch Fox or Breitbart.

Nope, they're claiming that they're being bullied and they won't tolerate it!

This "analyst" at the Washington Post has ascribed the backlash to the "Trump Internet" suggesting that it is only Trumpers who are responding and it is part of the war on the media

It’s a particularly threatening version of an inversion that is common on the Internet today: keep reporting on the Trump Internet, and the Trump Internet will decide it’s “reporting” on you.

...oh boy...

did see some stories/posts suggesting that the person CNN identified may not be the true source. Who knows at this point but the more uncertainty, the worse for CNN.

Even liberal outlets like Vox are trashing CNN for this

Definitely not just the "Trump internet"

Their fairy land of lies and deception is fading

Don't fight it with hypocrisy.

There's a difference between a public figure and a private citizen.

They hunted down and extorted a meme maker with the threat of doxxing.
