CNN did nothing wrong, they didn't even reveal the guys identity. He gave them all the info they needed to link his online persona to his real life identity.

What is wrong is that the man has no conviction and at the moment he realized his online persona was compromised he cut tail and ran to hide, because he doesn't believe what he spews but he does think it's cool. If he was a hardcore racist who hates jews and blacks and stood by it than more power to him, but he isn't he is a troll that got silently called out for it but didn't have the intestinal fortitude to stand by his work.

CNN did exactly what anyone with google, gogo, bing, yahoo or literally any search engine could do. Search and check every link for every alias until they have the correct connections and than make contact to confirm. If anything you would think with all the brave little soldier veterans of the meme war telling us CNN is fake news how do we know this wasn't manufactured by the derp state of Hussain Soros Killary? Explain that and while your at it I would like to get to the bottom of what Obama was doing on 9/11. So is CNN fake news or is this just a one of of truth that people don't like because of "muh online privacy I didn't guard well enough".
