Multi-billion dollar corporation CNN is Extorting a Private Citizen over a Joke Tweet!
CNN reported today that they declined to publicly identify the Reddit user who created the Trump CNN wrestling video because he promised not to do it again.
CNN reporter Andrew Kaczynski then went on to say, “CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.”
That is extortion.
They threatened to dox him.
Founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange tweeted out, ‘CNN committed a crime, violating 135.60 of the New York criminal code.’ Below is a description of the code:
