Blogger Ace of Spades points out another facet of CNN’s hypocrisy in its ongoing meltdown over a goofy wrestling meme that President Donald Trump tweeted.

From Ace of Spades:

One last point: CNN’s corporate parent, Time Warner, donates to the theatrical troupe that staged a Trump assassination play, with Trump dressed up as Caesar, being butchered. They refused to stop donating to them during the tempest over that.

What was that play? It was a recontextualization of an existing bit of drama, right?

It was taking “Julius Caesar” and putting Trump’s face on it.
