The same news outlet which often claims President Trump is a "thin-skinned" narcissist is now threatening to ruin the life of a private person who dared mock it with a Trump meme.

In an appalling display of what's been labeled "thug journalism" and may even be blackmail, CNN sought retribution against the anonymous Internet user who created a video portraying Trump wrestling a figure whose head has been replaced by CNN's logo.

I’m really surprised that the ASPCL, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Logos hasn’t been front and center in this.

First they called the Proctor and Gamble Logo “Satanic”, and now this. Enough is enough.

Logos have feelings too, just like Liberals..
