Wow, he is one angry man! I always think that how you treat "the little people" says so much about someone. Abusing power like that is awful. IRL when I date someone for the first time, I always watch how they treat the bar staff or waitress at a restaurant. If they disrespect the staff then I don't want to know them.
Anyway, there could be an international dimension to this... Rupert Murdoch wants 100% ownership of Sky TV in the UK. It is controversial because he owns such a large slice of the media, so the UK government have to judge whether it constitutes a monopoly (in which case they would block it). Fox News and O'Riley's behaviour has not played well in the UK, so cutting him off may be strategic in more ways than one.
