CNN has to run every story through the Israeli censor in their Jerusalem bureau. The only mainstream outlet that doesn't go through that process is Al Jazeera, and Israel closed their offices.

Precisely: this is the story CNN and the IDF want you to see. No matter the CNN reader's reaction, the policy will not change.

So they do the thing because it is a demonstration that they can do the thing without repercussions. Bullingdon Club type mentality.
