How CNN found the Reddit user behind the Trump wrestling GIF
(CNN)The Reddit user who initially claimed credit for President Donald Trump's tweet that showed Trump tackling CNN issued an apology Tuesday for the video and other offensive content he posted -- one day after CNN identified the man behind the account and attempted to make contact with him.

Reddit user "HanA**holeSolo" first shared the GIF last Wednesday of Trump pummeling a wrestler with CNN's logo imposed on his face. CNN could find no earlier instance of the GIF. The GIF was later edited into a video with sound and tweeted by the President on Sunday.

Poll about Trump and Media
A stark poll by Survey Monkey finds that 89% of Republicans view President Trump as more trustworthy than CNN, and 91% of Democrats think the opposite. Among all adults, trust for CNN is 7 points ahead of Trump. Among independents, CNN wins by 15 points.

Why it matters, from SurveyMonkey's Jon Cohen: "The fight ... between the White House and major media outlets has made the question of truthfulness just as partisan-tinged as health care or other policies."

Best Companies for Millennials
Six in 10 Millennials—the country’s largest generation—say they're looking for new employment opportunities, according to a recent Gallup poll. The cost of that turnover is estimated to top $30 billion each year.

Many companies continue to ponder what to do about the issue. Some C-level leaders have responded by adopting lavish perks and a fun atmosphere to appeal to the younger generation.

Now, Great Place to Work’s research on the Best Workplaces for Millennials shows this generational penchant to job-hop is avoidable when companies focus on one key thing—building a high-trust culture.
