Less surprise and more disappointed. They are doing the same thing the news stations did during Trump's first presidential run: giving them free advertising.

If they don't court their fan's favor, they will decline (again) in popularity. One-off stunts for ratings that are unpopular have the potential to hurt them in the long run.
