O’Reilly has been pissing and moaning about it all week, calling CNN’s coverage “disgraceful” and that “we don’t do speculation on the Factor”. Well, whatever you call it, he has people on his show jabbering about it every night.
CNN is staking out sensationalism as their strategy. “If it bleeds - turn to CNN” That’s legit, let the market decide. It’s more credible than CNN pretending to provide unbiased hard news coverage. Let them become the supermarket aisle of cable news and viewers will vote with their wallets. But someone tell O’Reilly to shut up and quit whining about it, especially since it’s clearly working for CNN.
Fox News went from the “Missing White Girl Channel” to the “Missing Plane Channel”
