Remember this?
Look at all the goodwill that bought them.

Foot Locker donated $200 Million to Black Lives Matter in 2020 and they were still looted over the weekend.
Supporting the mob doesn’t protect you from their violence. The mob will take your money and your support, then attack you, and mock you for you suffering.
In the words of Rudyard Kipling:
“We never pay anyone Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost;
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”
CNN paid the Dane-geld.
“Cria cuervos y te sacaran los ojos.”
Fair enough. (I had to look up the translation.)
Gentlemen, to the violins!
You say the mob turned on a CNN crew and ran them out of the area?
I’ll have a coke then.
No, I don’t remember that. Probably because I don’t watch CNN. I do remember it being called the Clinton News Network back in the day.
“Danegeld” isn’t quite the right analogy. Those who paid the Viking invaders weren’t supporters of those invaders, there were just deluded fools who though they could buy immunity.
CNN, on the other hand, is an active supporter. They are like Trotsky wondering why he’s getting an ice pick to the brain when he’s been such a hard-working Communist all along. Or Robespierre who spent years of his life working for the French revolution, only to get his head lopped off by other revolutionaries even more ruthless than he was.
To all of these I say: “you got exactly what you deserve”.
Giving your enemy what they want does not make them your friend.
Anyone with mental reasoning more mature than “toddler” understands that.
