This celebration of a media figure's firing is contrasted with the historical precedent of Phil Donahue, who was terminated by MSNBC in 2003 despite high ratings because of his anti-war stance. The shift in the political left from "peaceniks" to "warmongers" is highlighted as a major cultural change.
