By now you’re probably familiar with the inexplicable thuggery the cable news has-been CNN has been perpetrating on the Reddit user who created the now-famous meme of Donald Trump figuratively throttling the network. Felicia Cravens had a pretty good summary of the facts this morning, if you’re not.

It was foreseeable that to identify someone on the internet for coming up with a funny meme substituting a CNN logo for Vince McMahon’s head and threaten to doxx him for that meme would generate a reaction not entirely consistent with good public-relations outcomes. Strangely CNN didn’t recognize those foreseeable results in advance; they’re recognizing them now, as smartasses from Maine to Hawaii are now rushing to Photoshop to produce creative ridicule.

Here’s just a taste of that, compiled by Mike Cernovich…

Plus the football fans – SEC football, to be precise…

One hopes they can swim a little at the Clinton News Network…

We thought this one was kinda sweet…

It’s early yet, and our suspicion is the ridicule machine is really just getting cranked up.

If it should happen that self-destructive activities like this were to result in the destruction of CNN’s market share, we’d be OK with that. It’s a good bet that somebody else besides that network’s current management – or ownership, for that matter – would do a better job than Jeffrey Zucker and his cabal of children in charge.

UPDATE: Also, this…
