For those wondering why we're simply criticizing CNN and not defending him, it's because the user is a total piece of shit.

He's a middle aged man (not a teenager) who thinks running around and saying n----r is hilarious. I'll be honest- as terrible as CNN was, I'm hoping people realize that being ass has consequences. What's worse is how he even bragged about the attention prior to CNN stating they would release his info. Guess these people truly are only bark and no bite

Is the racist the issue here or a multinational news company using doxxing and blackmail? I think the latter is the bigger issue.
