I started a thread last week to plead for boycotting of CNN advertisers, and displayed how I e-mail each one to state that their product/service would not be purchased, as long as they advertised on CNN.
The thread disappeared from ATS, and I received a private message from a moderator, letting me know that the thread was moved to the ATS Trash Bin...but no explanation as to WHY.
Why would a thread of that nature be forbidden on ATS?

Seem to me that CNN has just opened the floodgates for every 4channer/redditer/anon to take the piss with extreme prejudice.
They're literally a dumb as a bag of rocks in a quarry full of bags.
Should be a fun next few months.. lol
From what I'm reading of the "drama" it's no so much the creator is ashamed/afraid of being linked to the little video gif he created or legal action from CNN, but rather all the hate-filled, racist comments his username is associated with.
The guy probably works a 9-5 and doesn't want his boss to find out.
Hell, the guy could have have his name exposed, setup a GoFundMe and probably rake in millions at this point.
Story coming out he is a 15 year old kid?
Now what?

*shrug*
The user was high-fiving and bragging about the POTUS using his little creation all over T_D. I remember reading the posts.
I guess he also was dropping personal information about himself across reddit under his username, according to what I'm currently reading...
If that's the case, I'm actually surprised someone else didn't throw his identity out there sooner. Some of the anti-semetic stuff he was blasting would likely piss off some people for sure.

If I were you, I'd verify those advertisers via another site before passing them off as gospel.
Just sayin'

Done - before I posted the trigger-list.
They all support CNN financially as their advertisers.

How did you get that?
Please quote, highlight and show exactly where I said, implied, inferred or made any kind of "hint" that I in any way "condone" anything CNN has done? I'm genuinely curious.
Quite frankly, I certainly don't see anything remotely resembling that.
I guess I'm supposed to "fall in line" and jump on the hive-mind train and parrot the exact same responses in order to be cool or something? I'm not "allowed" to make observations or something? What about freedom of speech? Isn't that what this entire thing is about? Am I not entitled to freedom of speech and the ability to make observations without being dog pilled?
No, I don't think you'll find that I in any way condoned CNN's behavior. But please, enlighten me if you do. I suspect you'll have to put quite a bit of spin on it to do so.

You just never know with those "merry pranksters" over on 4Chan. They like to burn everyone, whether they have an "R" or a "D" next to their name.

I didn't realize it was required of me to say what CNN did was wrong to participate in this thread?

Then stop making excuses and trying to blame the victim! I thought you guys were against the 1% yet I find it odd how often you defend them and actually adhere to their doctrine of change.
