I doubt it was sensationalism. If anything I see it as "inside baseball". The first paragraph of the article also states "Such a letter normally would prevent career advancement". I have seen the phrase "up or out" associated with officers in the military. He isn't loosing his job tomorrow, but everyone knows his career is effectively over.
