I still don’t see that it’s any of CNN’s business that this guy created a satirical meme. Politicians and celebrities have been viciously attacked for years by “comedians” and “media” under the guise of “satire” and the courts have consistently upheld even vile attacks such as that against Jerry Falwell by Hustler magazine years ago. The media can dish it out but can’t take it.
It is actually an attack on the First Amendment, seeking to make the right institutional rather than individual.
There is no bad thing that could happen to CNN or its people that they do not deserve.
