Everyone tuned into somebody declaring that they were going to kill themselves it was awesome for them! So, instead of firing him they let him come back on. It was a big boom for the television company they were getting ratings and views and calls everybody was talking about it so they had to keep it going. Anything for views. Anything for ratings was the attitude of the news Channel. The movies statement was clear. Satire or not, for news and television it's not about the content, it's about the profit.
