My guess is this is in response to him trying to kick around their reporters -- if he wants to keep going that route, the network execs are showing him they can respond by taking the gloves off too.

This jackass only understands it when you hit back, and hit back hard.

"You want airtime again? Ok, here's your airtime. Enjoy. Now, you still want to talk to our reporters like that?"

Could be wrong, but that's my sense of it. It's a loud message delivered with a blunt object.
