Wow, CNN. Can't take it, don't dish it out.

It seems Trump isn't the only person with a less than stellar grasp of US history and the nation's foundations:
NPR Tweeted Declaration Of Independence, And Trump Supporters Flipped Out -- http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/...ushpmg00000313 Declaration of Independence tweets confuse Donald Trump supporters -- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017...mp-supporters/ NPR tweeted the Declaration of Independence, and things got kind of awkward -- http://theweek.com/speedreads/709998...t-kind-awkward Declaration of Independence: NPR Tweets Prompt Trump Opponents Into Talk of Revolution -- http://www.newsweek.com/anti-trump-r...-tweets-631942 Well, you do realize, if the document was tweeted out by NPR, it must be a "fake document"... <O>

The creator of the .gif may have buckled and apologized but I believe he did so under duress. In otherwords CNN threatened him in to doing so. He probably is underage and still lives with his parents, poor kid. Personally I thought the .gif was hilarious.
I say we start taking contributions for this kids lawsuit against CNN. Seems CNN can dish it out but cant take it.

Actually, CNN was doing what any other major corporation or concern would do in a such a case, regardless of political inclination; whoever created the GIF used the CNN logo, a violation of trademark rights under the law and CNN is within its right to demand what is basically a "cease and desist" regarding the GIF. This is done all the time, in all kinds of situations, mainly for the protection of trademark rights and to firmly establish the extents of those rights; not actually actively enforcing those rights can lead to a sort of assumption of a form of analogy similar to a "grant of easement" in real estate laws; if you don't scrupulously enforce your rights in all cases, you stand to lose some of the ability to enforce those rights. There is also the issue of the possibility of the creator of the GIF being able to profit in some way from the distribution of the GIF with the CNN trademark attached, or the possibility of as even more egregious use made of the work which may adversely affect CNN. Whoever made the GIF is getting off easy: there has been no material damage done as of now and his potential liability is lessened by his acceptance of the CNN complaint...

I think that CNN's on air faux outrage at Trumps' tweets and other stuff is somewhat disingenuous. They should be thanking him at least once a day, every day.

Trademark infringement, really? where did you see that? Im no lawyer but I'm not too sure trademark infringment applies. Call me crazy but it's probably why CNN didnt threaten anyone or Reddit with a lawsuit for tradmark infringment. Instead they threatened to expose the .gif creators indentity.

This CNN and Trump's tweet is old news ... Hasn't it always been a practice that when the POTUS is out of the country that the opposition goes to work on talking trash about the president? Maybe he will beat them to it and pull off another fumble in front of the whole world. Remember it's Putin vs Trump come this Friday.

As far as Trump meeting Putin, isn't it a bit early for Trump's six-month performance review?. Hope Putin doesn't go to hard on the probie... <O>

From the detailed news reports about the situation, it seems both CNN and the 'troll' have reached an wholly amicable state regarding the disposition of the matter. He owned up and CNN didn't press the matter any further; smiles all around. The only people who seem to be put out are those, from both ends of the political spectrum, who seek to make political capital out of, as Neal put it, "a silly meme": CNN Story About Source of Trump Wrestling Video Draws Backlash -- https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/05/b...ump-tweet.html Your dismissal of the trademark infringement shows a very narrow view. Defense of a trademark is very serious business; some companies have faced financial ruin because they didn't actively defend their 'mark': 'Genericide': Brands destroyed by their own success -- http://www.bbc.com/news/business-27026704 In the CNN case, the potential for loss extended to other liabilities other than just the trademark. For example, let's say CNN didn't try to take action at all regarding the GIF and let it slide, giving the impression they were 'okay' with the posting; now, say a brain-dead Trump supporter decided to use the 'implied' approval by Trump of taking violent against journalists as a rationale for posting new and, perhaps, more incendiary, CNN logo based memes that result in some other brain-dead Trump guy actually beating a reporter, causing severe injury or worse. The reporter sues and the attorney files not only against the attacker and the poster of the meme(s), but also CNN. Why? The attorney could argue CNN holds some liability because they did not act to deter or stop the original meme, giving the meme poster or attacker, or anyone else, the impression there might well be no consequences to the posting and the assault, contributing to an atmosphere in which the crime could take place. Farfetched? Not really; stranger arguments have been made in litigation and, in jury trials, have resulted in very large financial judgements. Now, say, the poster of the inciting meme(s) and the attacker haven't the financial means to pay a large judgement; here's where a concept known as "deep pockets" comes to bear: since the other parties to the payment of the judgement can't pay, CNN, with its "deep pockets" will have to bear the brunt of satisfying the judgement. All that because they chose not to pursue a 'trivial' matter. "For want of a nail, the shoe was lost..."... Now that I've bored the bejusus out of everybody, including myself, here is a bit of funny video I found; the finding of this video was due to a to a post by Sailor Steve (credit where credit is due) in another thread of another video by this duo: <O>

Do we have a miracle in progress? Donald Trump hasn't made a mistake yet ... I wonder what happen in his 2 and 1/2 hour meeting with Putin?

What i like is that he accepts Russia/Putin, instead of ignoring as it happened with Obama.
I still wonder why this is so, because while Obama was the leftist antichrist he sure had an anti-russian cold war attitude, while the right-wing reds hater Trump treats Russia as a partner. The roles have somehow changed. Sorry for posting here, i really should refrain
