The reaction to Kimmel's firing has been swift and extremely negative

CNN did a full hour on it at the seven o'clock hour. All negative. No both sides, no let's see what happens. They are continuing their coverage in the eight o'clock hour. Chris Hayes is also leading with it, and I can't wait to see Lawrence tonight.

I think MAYBE they've bit off more than they can chew here. Everyone can see what's going on. To quote Doris Day in "Pillow Talk", some things are just too obvious to be funny.

The expert on Chris Hayes just said we are not at the beginning of the playbook. We're at the end of the playbook.

The fact that big business just rolled over is the biggest surprise to me, however.

and both she and Chris Hayes said it's not just a media story, it's a democracy story.
