WOW: Kirsten Powers tries justifying CNN’s actions, claims racists/misogynists don’t have this right
Even Patricia Heaton (the awesome mom from The Middle!) saw CNN’s actions for what they were, that of a bully trying to silence someone for saying something they didn’t like.
Ignoring news while on vacay, but @KFILE / @CNN threatening to destroy 15-yr-old over gif?! Any shred of cred u may have had is gone 4ever. https://t.co/iQifrjN6w7

We still don’t know the age of the person CNN went after (although we do know they had the wrong guy), but Heaton’s point is still valid. How can a media outlet that goes after any one person have any credibility left at all?
Kirsten Powers seems to disagree.
He's not 15 years old + how did someone who posts anti-semitic, racist & anti-gay content become a victim for ppl to rally around? 1/2 https://t.co/SrsQ2kl73c

Huh? So is Kirsten saying we should be happy that someone we disagree with is being threatened by the media? Why wouldn’t we rally around anyone who has been attacked?
Don’t think she understands how this whole being an American thing works.
It's not that he's a victim at all, it's that CNN thinks it has the right and the power to be the authority of free speech or lack there of.

Bingo.
I'm Jewish and gay and no one deserves their life turned up-side-down for a political sacrifice no matter what they posted 5 years ago.
