BBC 5Live had the story in their 11pm bulletin last night. It must have been lost on 99.99% of their listeners!!
I think it's probably lost on a majority of media consumers in the U.S. too. Journalists have a bias to overdo it on what would otherwise be considered trade news in any other industry. CNN seems to love dragging Brian Stelter on at every hour of the day to overanalyze a story like this and for him to pontificate about how heroic all journalists are right now. But let's not forget that he's never been a journalist/blogger doing anything more than covering media, and it's not like CNN is all that interested in covering anything about themselves too critically (like the Lewandowski hiring), as is true for any other network covering themselves. People in glass houses...
Don't get me wrong – it's definitely a story worth covering, and one of importance given O'Reilly's long, prominent run in conservative media, his very close relationship with the orange man in the bad suit who's now our president, and perhaps also whatever statement this is making about sexual harassment. But most people probably don't care about O'Reilly losing his job all that much.
NBC CBS AND ABC all lead with the OREILLY ouster at the top of the newscasts right now!. LOL
