What CNN did was pretty bad, but nothing illegal about it. They're well within their rights to disclose the name of the user.

It's not a good look though.

apparently trump JR and others were talking about how it was a low-blow to do this to a 15 year old kid when the dude was a middle aged man or something

Agreed. I'm still not sure what CNN is outing him for. Because of the gif? Or because racist/antisemetic comments on Reddit? Which they found because they had to get to the bottom of the gif.

Can we at least be clear that the only reason this is a story is because CNN is butthurt this guy put them in a WWE .gif?
My dad always says he's undefeated at tailgating

Maybe it's not I who doesn't know what he's talking about

not that im defending CNN because i thought they were excrement long before trump ever went after them, but i think they only cared because trump actually retweeted it to his timeline, which in and of itself was a cringeworthy moment, is he 12 or is he the president of the US. that's the type of excrement my little wack 8 year old cousin does

It's the same deal as when you say Trump's douchey way of handling things isn't actually illegal.

CNN has turned into a joke.  They were news gods for a long derriere time, starting with the first Iraq war.

Then Fox happened, then a more liberal MSNBC happened, then CNN went even more liberal, and then Fox went insane, and then MSNBC benched the Sharptons and hired republican Fox defectors.

There is no question which cable news channel is the most fair and balanced now.

There's no such thing as fair and balanced cable news. They'd get no ratings if they didn't have political analysts arguing on both sides and pompous assholes who are trying to tell viewers how to think. It's all entertainment being passed off as "news".
"Wrong!"

Joy and Maxine.  Although I tend to agree with both, that is a liberal circle jerk I cannot always defend.
