Clue: Newspaper feature on screen is hit in a big way (8)

Answer is walloped, which is hit in a big way and wall could be screen, but cannot parse the rest. Thanks in advance for help with a full parsing.

Wall - screen
Op Ed - opposite editorial, newspaper feature.

Op-Ed is a newspaper feature meaning ‘opposite the editorial’ + wall

...and Op-ed is in Chambers, a newspaper article printed opposite the editorial column, usually expressing the personal opinions of the writer.

Curious, I had always thought that ‘opposite’ meant that it presented an alternative view to the editorial, rather than the position in which is was printed

21a Initially exposing omission, turning over part of text. Is the answer page (e, then gap backwards)?
