I appreciate your perspective and largely agree with much of it.

But people don't like to be laughed at. It stimulates people to change their behavior so they do not get laughed at any longer.

Those media companies supporting Hillary in that cartoon look pretty bad.

The folks in that cartoon are a joke. They won't like being portrayed as a joke. I think that cartoon will do some good. Stuff like that is an effective way to get people to change their ways - like SNL or Jon Stewart do with their humor.

Things like that will help resolve the situation you aptly describe as "pathetic". That's why I like it.
