no i'd have to disagree its blackmail any way you look at it. Its non-partisan. I'd have to ask why you are even on steemit if you have so much faith in the existing networks ?

Who said I have faith in the existing networks?

HanAssholeSolo posted an idiotic gif. Then the Supreme Leader stole the idiotic gif and sent out yet another immature tweet promoting violence against the Fourth Estate. Then CNN wrote an email saying X and HanAssholeSolo for whatever reason issued an apology. Then the echo chamber jumped to the conclusion that X = blackmail. Not remotely nonpartisan as nobody outside the echo chamber jumped to the same conclusion.

Well it was a humorous gif, thats why its gone viral, and i did watch the CNN video where they posted the actual response, and the reporter walked viewers through the response and it was exactly as the news is now telling us. That is CNN made a public announcement that they would not reveal this persons name as they were a private person, but did reserve the right to publish if they behaved in the same way. thats the same as a threat / blackmail. You could mince words and say it depends how you take it, but it was blackmail. The trump and populist world is the world you are living in, not the world you would prefer to be living in like the rest of the democratic / green / commie party variants unfortunately. Thank you for your comments.
