more disturbing IMO is that CNN is threatening to dox the person who created it

doesn't matter. what if if was brietbart looking to unmask someone on the left
"Publius" was a man who wrote anonymously in support of the Constitution. that man was actually three founding fathers. anonymity is something that we should be able to have when making speech and something the press should support.
there are legit problems with social media and its broadening of a lack of empathy amongst people that has caused a coarsening of our discourse and rampant tribalism, but CNN's legitimacy is called into question itself when they do this
cnn has started twitter wars episode II: attack of the memes
look at r/the_donald. i know, it's horrible, but look. it's quoting /pol/ and "operation: autism storm". the entire page is just devoted to CNN Blackmail (which it is blackmail don't get me wrong). CNN has created this... sure, some shithead made a dumb gif that the president tweeted. so f**k what who the person is? why is that relevant, cnn? CNN seems to think that a gif of some people involved in fake wrestling is somehow invoking violence against the media... instead they should talk about what i already mentioned. that the ref is down, the ref is symbolizing the Constitution. the president shouldn't be able to beat CNN, and here's why: (read first amendment, and explain why press is important, again). but no, they go after a private citizen for making speech and threaten him

NPR tweets out the Declaration of Independence, rubes think NPR is calling for "revolution" and should have its public funding pulled
http://www.kansascity.com/news/nation-w ... 82299.htmlfrankly, i am so disgusted by media these days i the only place of solace i can find on the radio is NPR. it has people discussing things like the rational beings i know we are capable of being, even people with very different ideas about the same subject. it should get more funding
to his credit, at least one person realized who was getting angry about NPR they were wrong and said so, after realizing the words were just the declaration of independence
