CNN blackmails reddit user who created the Trump Gif.

CNN gets punked again. These dopes can't do anything right. Out of one side of their pie holes they say the president is immature and thin skinned. Out of the other side they make threats to some kid who made fun of them in some amateur video. As this evolves I am more inclined to believe that the war of words between Trump and this adolescent minded "news outlet" is just Trump exposing these juvenile delinquents for the frauds that they are.

Seriously, it's like you're not even appreciating how Trump is eroding the legitimacy of the presidency by posting this shit on his official twitter account, which the White House had previously advised serves as the president's "official statements."

I will not defend FOX they have their own set of problems (e.g. how many execs have been fired over there for sexual harassment lately).

However you have to admit that CNN really stepped in it this time.

I don't think so. I think Trump did. A sitting president making an "official statement" deriding the Fourth Estate. Aren't you a member of the Slippery Slope contingent?

The man is not taking his job seriously, and you're laughing...

The story here's going after the guy who made a funny. Trump's a classless clown, that's long been established.

Trump is hardly the first president to deride the Fourth Estate. He is the first to do so on Twitter.

If you want a good historical example you should check out what F.D.R. said about the press...

FDR's War Against the Press
Franklin Roosevelt had his own Breitbart, and radio was his Twitter

"Going after?" You mean identifying the person? That's the "threat?" Shiver me timbers, boyo. And who ever thought a news organization would do investigative reporting, especially when someone tried to make "a funny" at their expense?

Remember, this is not "a funny" in isolation. Trump and his camp had been contemptuous towards CNN (and all manner of legitimate media) for some time now because of all of the factual reporting.
