I think they'll gain more audience now - through this reinstated reporter - than they out to lose.
They'll lose close minded people and gain a lot of open minded ones. The open minded tend to have a healthier mental state, have higher income, and attract more ad revenue.
And I don't think it's likely that the firing was motivated by the fear of bad financial results, but ideologically driven.

- rmbyrro 3y agoAudience attention can be measured in seconds, instead of units of people. That seems to be the focus of modern media. I find it hard to believe they have more than 10% of their potential market's attention span.
