This is probably more convincing in the original German. https://t.co/rfY6lNy21Z

CNN has released a statement concerning their decision to threaten look into the anonymous Reddit user who created the Trump wrestling gif, and everything’s totally hunky-dory now:

Got that? So there’s nothing to see here, and you haters can all stop picking on CNN now. GOT THAT???
The "out of concern for his safety" line is new https://t.co/VK8Mg1ZOp2

It's also not terribly convincing. Why would you maintain the right to name him, and then say it could lead to him being harmed?

Doesn’t make much sense, does it?
This statement doesn't square with this graph. pic.twitter.com/C5Oje1l6em

Could it be — and we know we’re going out on a limb here — that CNN is also using their grave-digging shovel to shovel out B.S.?
We dug up his name, then withheld it for fear of his safety.
Maybe, let me throw this out there, don't dig it up https://t.co/cUqr69nLmx

CNN knew exactly what they were doing. It wasn’t benevolent, and it sure as hell wasn’t journalism.
This doesn't address CNN's "reserve the right" language. They're still holding disclosure over his head based on his conduct. https://t.co/RxL0eInhzT

This is a transparent lie.

Their statement definitely doesn’t pass the smell test.

No way did CNN withhold the guy’s name “out of concern for his safety.” They were looking for leverage — and revenge — pure and simple.

"We fear for his safety… unless he reneges on that apology to us. Then you're on your own pal." https://t.co/bJ71OH0ZHL

This statement reads better in Tony Soprano's voice https://t.co/bJ71OH0ZHL

It was out of fear for his safety that we told him we maintain the right to publish his identity should he return to his evil meme ways
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 5, 2017
"We're very concerned for his safety… Unless he makes fun of us online again" https://t.co/0KD7OkKkcY
— Stephen Miller (@redsteeze) July 5, 2017
Parting food for thought:
The fact that concerns about his safety exist only because CNN chose to follow this story remain unmentioned here. https://t.co/QhIW7JJUBi

Bingo.
