“CNN decided not to publish the name of the Reddit user out of concern for his safety,” the statement reads, according to BuzzFeed. “Any assertion that the network blackmailed or coerced him is false. The user, who is an adult male, not a 15-year-old boy, apologized and deleted his account before ever speaking with our reporter. CNN never made any deal, of any kind, with the user. In fact, CNN included its decision to withhold the user’s identity in an effort to be completely transparent that there was no deal.”

FOX is FAKE dude............
