This horrible racist scumbag anti-Semite POS all of the sudden had a change of heart, posted a full apology on Reddit, then called CNN to let the know he's seen the light? Call me cynical...
He called them, told them he realized he'd made a yuuuge mistake after he'd apologized to the world on reddit.
CNN said they were good with that so long as there was no more. He thanked them for being so nice.

They said they might do it, same thing as actually doing it, obviously. Just like the same group's support of Trump, he's doing very little of consequence.. yet he's also keeping all of his promises!Again, where's the doxxing CNN has done?
Doxx: to publicly identify or publish private information about (someone) especially as a form of punishment or revenge (Merriam Webster definition)

When did CNN publish or identify the individual?
Thread title is still misleading, at best.
The entire point, as I said, was in deterring others from encouraging violence against the press. The reason this meme out of who knows how many was picked out was because it got national attention after Trump tweeted it. But this one person isn't really the point. Like you said, the fact that we are in a climate of such hostility toward the press puts the video and other things like it in a different light. CNN did this and put it on the front page to send a message.
THAT is NOT ethical journalism.CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.
CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.
CNN has not doxxed HanAssholeSolo to date, but the Alt Right on Reddit is up in arms and threatening to actually doxx CNN journalists, employees, their families and their children because these snowflakes feel much butthurt. You see, while CNN hasn't doxxed anyone, they did expose the fact that these MAGA meme trolls believe in nothing, stand for nothing, and are better left ignored. Shine a light on them and they are happy to run back into their dark man caves rather than defend their "beliefs" in public. They are trolls... Perhaps some are paid to troll but most are just doing it for the lulz.
That said, CNN needs to explain this:
THAT is NOT ethical journalism.
It might not be up to the standards that these ppl dont have anyway. I think its perfect that we get some of these live specimen out into the open. Lets see what lives under the rocks shall we?

He was advocating violence and they went and made him their bitch. How is that for an explanation?CNN has not doxxed HanAssholeSolo to date, but the Alt Right on Reddit is up in arms and threatening to actually doxx CNN journalists, employees, their families and their children because these snowflakes feel much butthurt.

Unfortunately, it's not over nothing. It is literally over the future of our nation.
No it isn't. It's over nothing. A meme gif where Trump wrestles with CNN's logo? That's just a stupid joke and there is nothing to be gained by taking it seriously. It distracts from the real problems with this administration and the society that got us to where we are today.
It's almost like Trump's Tweeting of it is designed to distract you from the real issues and it's working.

I'm wondering (just now and haven't put much thought in to it yet)...
If this video were instead an anonymous person putting this video out with a high profile Muslim playing the part of Trump and the beaten opponent has an America logo on his face then that high profile Muslim plasters it all over his highly viewed social media. The anonymous person though not a member of an extreme group per se but has a history of posting an extremist group's messaging... How would people feel about it? Would you want anonymous guy sniffed out and held accountable? Or at the very least, on notice that he could easily be outed? Seriously, I'd like some feedback.
No, it doesn't change my opinion. The guy is free to make a gif if he wants, he's free to his opinions, we can't shut down everything we don't like. This country is becoming more and more totalitarian and the push is coming from both sides (and of course both sides see themselves as the good guys).

If we threaten to doxx everyone in the internet who says something someone else thinks is bad or offensive the internet ceases to be a meetingplace for the exchange of ideas and will be nothing more than an echochamber where ideas and speech are silenced from fear of the repercussions.
Most on here are saying if you don't mean it don't post it, but if they were actually in a position where the anonymity they enjoy is going to be exposed I doubt they'd still think that. The repercussions from asking anonymous medical questions and now the insurance agency knows, women enjoying the internet without sexual harassment, people in more hostile countries expressing political opinions that could land them in trouble, or just a boss being a douche and not agreeing with you so you're fired.
Big slippery slope that we don't need to go down
