Well that's my story.
NPR fuckin did an entire report on the fact that the gif came from Reddit (listening to an NPR reporter try to say "hanassholesolo" on-air was pretty awesome)

I don't know, the fact that someone was basically paid to reverse image search a dumbass gif and then turned it into a five minute on air story about r/thedonald pretty much soured me on NPR news

Look Viking you're a trash Trump supporter what the fuck makes you think you can have an avatar that isn't what I decide? Shut your fucking trap and go away. Your trolling is tiresome and just shits up the forum.

CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

lmao they are blackmailing him to shut up

CNN just looked this guy up and backed him into a corner, the actual apology says something like "I'm sorry for bringing the /r/TheDonald sub-reddit into this"

Look at what happened to Ken Bone. Dude made some pretty innocuous comments on Reddit and the media treated him like the reincarnation of Hitler. The media dragging a private citizen's name through the mud will mean they will almost certainly be fired and unhireable, could gently caress up the lives of their family/kids and make them an outcast in their community.
