It is hilarious how corporations think they can silence the entire internet population.
sometimes they like to underestimate and make fun of people *they dont know yet*
They can silence a huge bunch of people actually, they can.

@VideoGamePlayer Um. Conspiracy much? Trump would lose popular support if he started SELECTING people for Congress. The president doesn't appoint people into congress and even if he tried it would be political suicide. Trump isn't going to try and do that.That and it would DEFINITELY get him ousted from his own party and impeached. And this is coming from a Trump supporter.
Starting that 15-year-old boy rumor was such a god-tier move.
fucking hell, i had no idea about this
Fucking big brain move right there
@@monstrosity6738 ✨ *ascended* ✨
honestly, I remember falling for it too. at least it was disinformation for a good cause.
hold the fuck up
4 chan outplayed them with that 15 year old kid move.
4chan can outplay anybody they're probably the most powerful group of people on the internet.
/pol/ is good at create fake stories that are believable because they're either plausible or take refuge in audacity. Like how they got Avenatti to go on the news telling people they had a Kavanaugh accuser which was just a 4channer's girlfriend.
They out fake newsd the fake newsers
The infamous hacker 4chan is one scary man

You know I’m coming back to this now, like 4 years later, and I’m kind of impressed. That a multimillion dollar company would even devote the time and effort to hunting down a shitposter. And then have the gall to say that they have the right to dox him.
Yeah this video age well. There doing it again with "Let's go Brandon" and other memes targeting them. At this point I can't feel bad for CNN because they have always been nothing and haven't done anything right to help society or to bring real news and facts for the past 20 years.
@@SOLIDMARCOS47 Larry King: I AM the Senate!
Doxxing is always bad. They're memes, grow the hell up. They're basically saying "hey this person that you hate because you're mentally ill lives here, go attack them"
If you manage to make Reddit and 4chan team up, then you know you screwed up.
The Void Looks Pretty I thought the same thing when watching the beginning.
Making 4chan team up with anyone means you're screwed up

@VaderxG ok CNN
@VaderxG did the underage child cnn gave you satisfactory?
Whoever sent the idea of getting prominent figures to tell everyone that cnn hostage was a 15 yr old boy
Youre a genius
Never underestimate the power of weaponized autism.
4chan are comprised of geniuses pretending to be retards. I learned years ago not to mess with 4chan.
@@vjm3 That whole He will Not Divide Us thing is gold. They bloody used trigonometry and time zones to spot a flag pole in the middle of nowhere. They are practically a black ops team.
Apparently the person who made the gif was actually a middle aged man, not a 15 year old boy
Bitchslapped don’t forget the air strikes they called on ISIS using a training video
You forgot the part where we sent thousands of pounds of salt to the CNN headquarters. Not in one giant load, everyone bought a single bag and had it shipped to them
Question is, was it food grade salt in a sealed consumer brand bag or was it the inedible industrial kind of salt?
bonus points if it was Kosher salt
definitely hoping it was kosher salt
lmfao if it was kosher that's horrendous and beautiful
@@Dr.Sho_Minamimoto I am jewish and I have no idea what kosher salt is.
@@MyVanir it’s just sea salt in the form of flakes.
CNN took two days to find who made a gif.

4chan: "It's OK, you're not really the press."
Silencing a Redditor is only a smidge less dangerous than silencing a 4Channer
CNN is just... god it's just awful. I used to watch rarely only to hopefully catch some high level stupidity live
I keep seeing your comments on videos.
They are a business. They don’t care about integrity, only viewer engagement and revenue.
Update: the Catfish spinoff mentioned was poorly received and cancelled after three episodes.
Thank you good sir for this information
Average British Guy there were 3 episodes?
@The Skin-Taker from Candle Cove Catfish Trolls
Wonder how they even managed to get that far. Don’t think it’s legal to give out a person private info unless they agree. Even more so on TV
Hip hip
I find it disgusting that a corporation has that kind of leverage
They have become worse since 2016
even worse that many article defending CNN, really show how crooked other news outlet is as well.
Hooo... Seeing Kizarus face like that always makes me happy for some reason. xD
Thats the one of the only leverages companies are willing to make public. Imagine the dirt they have on politicians and corporations.
@P Rubin no better example of this than Hunter Biden - literally videos of him weighing crack and yelling at prostitutes, and nothing but silence from the media
Can we admire the fact that 4-Chan and reddit defended freedom of speech instead of multiple news sources
Oh how the tables turn
You’re using the term, “freedom of speech” incorrectly. Also they only defend it if it aligns with their beliefs.
Reddit doesn’t do it anymore
It ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
Reddit has fallen into darkside
Reddit defending freedom of speech ? 🤦🤦♂️
That 15 yr old kid rumor was a top tier move. Imagine a massive multimedia company using resources to dox a kid who made a shitpost. lmao
@nymersic What about just saying: "Nah guys, he's not a kid, he's actually 28 years old. We won't say anything more though."? Would that still be sue-able? Knowing his age wouldn't be enough to identify him and thus wouldn't exactly be doxxing per say.
they ended up doxxing a kid for real in the end. the meme became reality
@@CosmicTeapot no that’s still a dox: you don’t just force someone to unwillingly give out person information, doesn’t really matter what kind of personal info it is
play of the game
@@CosmicTeapot Thing is, no one would believe them. Unless they name a real person with a verifiable age they could just say his age is whatever, then you can be sure the memers are gonna accuse CNN of lying on top of it all.
Doesn’t matter who you are or what political alignment you have. CNN deserved all of this and I applaud everybody who helped put an end to this BS.
Yeah I personally dont like trump, but this was a fucked up and childish thing that CNN did.
ChickenGoesBAWK yep
This guy.
This guy ha the right idea.
Diehard left-wing here. CNN is the worst news system imaginable.
Die hard right wing here, *CNN* is the worst news outlet and should be taken down.
Can we have a serious discussion about how some quickly created meme caused a multimillion news agency to completely lose their shit and target / try to doxx this individual?
Maybe their shit was always lost. They just needed a new target and he was their guy. For the ratings, but it backfired.
The most shocking thing out of this conflict was that 4chan and Reddit called a temporary truce
I mean, from what I've noticed, they have a frenemy relationship. They loathe each other, but when push comes to shove, they will support and defend each other if it benefits both sides, or both share the same ideals.
You know you've fucked up big time when 4-chan and Reddit ally together to fight against you.

If Internet Historian has taught me one thing, it is this:
Do not antagonize 4chan. They will strike back. They cannot be reasoned with. They cannot be stopped. There is only bracing yourself for the onslaught and holding out until the next idiot comes along and inadvertently triggers their wrath.
Reality Rejection Service Pretty much and they’re becoming more easily antagonized for some reason
They targeted a Reddit user this time. Who would've guessed 4chan would've even stepped into the ring?
I actually want to... Nay. NEED to see what the shitstorm looked like during the CNN meme contest.
'Inadvertently triggers their wrath' indeed. They're like any other pack of gangbrutes, only their territory is the interweb.
@@InkubozuNikki It was glorious. Twitter was a dumpster fire before, but after that stunt, it was a blazing star with people getting on the band wagon every day and cucks getting triggered left right and center.
4Chan is essentially a hornet's nest; just keep your distance and leave them be and they do literally nothing. Provoke them, however, and prepare to be swarmed with stings...to your reputation, status, wallet, and business.

What I love about this is that the Left and Right, 4-Chan users and Reddit users, everyone no matter what opinion, decided to work together to fight for something they could all agree on.
4Chan is one of the few bastions of "Wild West" mentality left on the Internet. I miss the days of chaos and silliness that used to permeate every corner. Maybe I'm just too old to know where the modern free zones are, the frontier having moved on.
I remember all of that. It was nice; the only issue that stops me from joining the silly shitposting of 4-chan is the increased likelihood of some sort of virus that'll show my browser history to all of my normie friends.
There is still a corner of “Wild West” on every social media, it just takes a while to find
Ahhhh the good ol Raid days. Im getting old now.
/mlpol/ still preserves a very "Wild West" mentality if one can stomach it, but it can be legitimately comfy.
As autistic as it is, I use iFunny and the majority of the userbase has no filter. On certain memes you can find racism and sexism at a great scale in the comments.
Why is 4chan’s strategy to everything ״they can’t stop all of us”
because it's effective?

It's funny how CNN couldn't find any connection to Russia after three years but they have their top investigator find a guy on Reddit. Really makes you think.
That was likely because, as Veritas showed, CNN itself didn't actually believe in the Russia conspiracy; they only aired it for ratings and clicks in a vain attempt to attack Trump's reputation (which they only ironically bolstered once he got cleared).
And on top of that it took their "best investigator" 2 DAYS(!) to find the guy. Like what the hell?
Edit: While it took 4chan 28 hours(?) to find a HWNDU flag
@@silver1340 That's the power of being trained in school to do something vs it being done by weaponized autism. An investigator has to find the information over the internet accounts. The 4chan hivemind considers that a 2 hr job.
@@silver1340 probably because that guys used this nickname in some other social media accounts connected with actual personal information.

They saw the power of memes and how badly they had interrupted the establishment's stranglehold on information flow. They *had* to fight back, because their entire power base was (and still is) eroding at record speed. Memes were a big part of it, but mostly it's just that people have alternative routes of finding information now.
Erosion of centralized media's prominence in the marketplace was inevitable. The interesting, amusing, and often downright hilarious part is that memes about frogs and Donald Trump are what caused that erosion's speed to peak.
Pretty sure it's because the president of the United States acknowledged it.

Don't you have to sign something for them (MTV in this case) to put you on air? Hell even prank show bystanders have to.
Only so they can cover their ass in court. It doesn't actually mean much more than you agreed to do it, and it isn't a requirement.
"Trump is browsing Twitter for some memes." I love this man.
Which one
Both
The power of Kek compels you! BEGONE!
Wumbo i cant understand why someone who doesn't have the same opinion as me because they are obviously retarded and a racist for liking their own president
Wumbo ya it’s crazy somebody doesn’t agree with me better call the cops
4-Chan allying with Reddit is like The United States saying they made an alliance with Nazi Germany or Communist Russia. If you managed to make those two team up against you...
You know fucked up somewhere.
america actually did ally with the ussr
during world war 2
With reddit being the nazis, yes.

@Colin Rude i cant find the funny
@Colin Rude well the is got strangely controversial
@Colin Rude fair enough
It's ironic that in a fight with Trump, CNN ended up behaving like the child. I mean, that's very very difficult to do.
They make it look quite easy.
pretty sure theyre equally childish dude . . . considering you know . . . the president elect was wasting time finding stupid memes on twitter . . . instead of, you know, actually reading his intelligence briefings or setting up a cabinet that he wouldn't have to fire over and over again. Generally I dont like it when THE PRESIDENT is doing the same thing I did on the bus ride to school when I was 15
@@NymbusCumulo928 They may both be equally childish, but I personally think Trump is the bigger person in the room compared to CNN. They held the redditor hostage just for some stupid gif. They could've just cried about it and let it go, but they instead decided to hunt him down, just for that.
@@NymbusCumulo928 pretty sure Trump's staff gets his memes for him/he gets it from people he follows/friends or family showing him.
@@NymbusCumulo928 we meet again, NPC
This was good enough for main channel.
EDIT: thanks for the gold reddit
shhhh, he doesn't wanna attract too much attention. do you have your foam hat on yet ?
Remember to buy your water filters.
CNN might file copyright and close up his main channel
tarapapi this falls under fair use
I'm sure CNN will find some shitty way
Hey there, Captain Hindsight here from the future. CNN fired all of their top talent in the past year and their network is in an irreversible decline. The cable news network is dying rapidly and I absolutely fucking love it. They deserved everything that came to them and everything that will come.
sounds an awful lot like the cancel culture your type seems to hate.
@@HomelessTaxation Nope.
I find it ironic how most of the people on 4chan and reddit probably act more mature than the people at MTV and CNN in person
Both are concentrated autism, but far less stupid than CNN
U dont go on 4chan and reddit much huh?

@@HaloNeInTheDark27 i mean... Non of them are multimillion companies, either on 4chan or Reddit if you do one of those things you do it because you're aware of the consequences (most of the times they don't) but bruh one would think those companies would have the brain to don't stoop THAT low, which just makes this whole situation more embarrassing
It's as if a teacher starts playing on the dirt because his worst students are playing on the dirt, so stupid and gives a pretty bad image, something you don't simply shake it off

Joke's aside CNN doesn't care about basic human rights
Also this kid should of called the police
I think it eventually turned out that it wasn't a kid, but that doesn't change the fact that they were effectively held hostage, nor does it change the fact that CNN has proven itself to be an explicitly unethical organization, willing to do heinous things for partisan and insignificant reasons.
@@landonhagan450 Pretty sure blackmail is a crime in most jurisdictions. And CNN blackmailed this kid/guy/whatever.
Jason Dickson I didn’t say it wasn’t illegal, just that the victim might not have been a kid.
@@landonhagan450 I wasn't really talking about the age status of HanAssHoleSolo - that's just bad optics for CNN. But I wanted to upgrade your comments about 'unethical' and 'heinous' to 'criminal' and 'illegal'. Kind of agreeing with you.
what the hell is he going to tell the police? "Help the news is trying to out my information to make me look like the bad guy!"?
This is some kind of next level boomer meme right?
1:24 There is no way a guy can write this with a straight face
I find it hilarious how backwards everything went for CNN. They tried to silence someone for making a mean meme about them, which basically turned the entire internet turn against them
Streisand effect
Its like Putting out a match later to find out it has already made its way to the powderkegs
Makes me think of that halo wars clip “if they want war, we’ll give em war”
Exactly
I gotta get back to pol. Before I know it I'm going to get doxxed by MTV for saying JEWS DID 9GAG.
OldRedneck Riv Hindis did 7/11 dipshit.
Actually, the Chinese did 9GAG
9GAS*
Maybe Pol could doxx the MTV producers if they go through with the show.
I can't fucking believe they got away with this, legally speaking.
Laws protect money, not people
The CNN App on Google Play has an average 4 out of 5 star rating, with 135,000 5 star ratings, and only 30,000 1 star ratings.
If all 94,000 IH subscribers gave the app 1 star, we could bring that average down to an abysmal 2.
AT P Ive done my part.
It was much lower until google stepped in an removed a lot.
I put:
"It's not a very intuitive app because it's sorta hard to navigate. Most news apps are easy to get the hang of but this one is weird.
As a side note Tim Pool is a much better investigative reporter than Andrew Kaczynski. While Andrew stalks meme makers online from his office, "You Can''t Fool the Pool" braves the ghettos of Stockholm, the battlefields of Berkeley, the tear gas filled streets of Istanbul, the race riots in Wisconsin, AntiFA threats in Hamburg, and he was almost killed in Venezuela.
Also he has better hair."
I didn't even see my review, they probably removed it immediately lol. I was late to the party.
Google is going to get antitrusted hard in the near future.

The Trump Presidency has made the internet a fun place again
+Abradolf Lincler Heil, Mr. president!
that's coz the internet THRIVES on this kind of insanity
the loonies went from crawling out of the woodwork to swarming out of it. and everything seems to be conspiring to make more of them come out
normies invading the web creating reactionary hostility from the natives, increasing power of the legions of the internet contrasting with rising threats to net neutrality, general social lunacy (tumblr meets /pol/ in the streets), the most powerful nation on earth having one of the most chaotic elections in recent memory, geopolitical insanity, nutjobs left and right, radicals Left and Right, and best of all, meltdown after PR meltdown, from trump and his cronies to CNN and theirs
statistically, the world might be a safer place, but it sure as hell doesn't feel like it these days
I'd argue it's a warzone now but meh
lol. The nutjobs were the people that were out in the streets destroying shit after their 'first bitch' lost the election to Trump. Not only did they trash things, destroy property and rob places, but they decide to waste their time in the streets and everything blocking traffic as a form of protest? I mean, if they wanna protest, it's their right.... but don't stop people just trying to get back and forth to or from work so they can make money to feed themselves and their family.
Honestly, the police shoulda come out with a loudspeaker and said 'Okay, protestors, you have 10 seconds to get out of the way of the cars. After that, it is legal for them to run your asses over when the lights turn green.' And then start counting down. Because as they were demonstrating with their bullshit, they obviously didn't have a job, but were preventing other people from doing something productive with their day.
I'm glad I can say something innocuous and have arguments start.
