That's what I always saw it when it came to Trump. Man's accomplished more than anyone at CNN ever could and his presidency, while rough, has him at least doing more than any Democrat was doing (and likely never would). And people were tired of their bullshit, so why not vote in the boisterous blonde hotel-owning billionaire? And so far, Trump's been much more effective against ISIS than Obama ever could be.
Again, I don't agree with all of his policies, but there's a lot worse out there. And I can totally see why he bashes CNN and their particular brand of idiocy. The fact that they spearheaded the "TRUMP IS SATAN" movement alongside Hollywood, even though that shit never happened before he decided to run for president is clearly a sign of them not agreeing with or accepting the fact that people (i.e the general public) wanted change. They wanted stuff to be done and they're getting what they want. So natually when someone calls them out on their bullshit or mocks them like in this case, they REEEEEEEEEE just like any lolcow would.
Hell, at this point, CNN might as well be a lolcow in and of itself. And if this has any lasting concequence toward the company and/or mainstream news like how GamerGate affected the reputation of games journalism, then they fully deserve it. They brought it onto themselves when they first sperged about the meme then blackmailed the maker.
