If that line wasn't there, then I would feel differently.
I freely admit that I didn't read everything before jumping into this shitstorm, and I still stand by what I have said on here, but I disagree with CNN's move because of that "we reserve the right" line. That does put an implicit blackmail stamp on the story. Remove that line and I am good.
I agree. I also saw where they are trying to claim that was put in after it was submitted, but given that reporters history it's highly doubtful and his previous actions call this circumstance into question.
