“Poor Judgment” By FNC’s Internet Division

FOXNews.com is having a bad week. First the site missed an opportunity by not promoting video of the Clinton/Wallace interview; even the on-air talent were directing viewers to YouTube. Then the company asked YouTube to remove some clips of the interview.

But the clips are back up now — and a Fox News spokesperson is placing blame on the “Internet division.” According to DigitalMediaWire, FNC said:

“Our Internet division used poor judgment in asking this to be taken down. We’re thrilled the Wallace-Clinton clip has received so many hits on You Tube.”

One e-mailer put it this way: “I love it when one division publicly attacks another.”
