Uh oh.

That won't be good for the ratings.

The positive side to this is at least Fox "News" has come through at least one time now on their statement of "they won't show this on other networks".

Yes, this was a bad move - but Mr. Smith seemed to be genuinely apologetic and recognized the fact that they fucked up. I respect that.

It's a shame a lot of mishaps on that network happen to that guy. He seems to be the only genuine individual on there.

I'm surprised there was no delay. I thought it was almost unheard of not to operate under that. Am I wrong?

Pretty sure there was a delay, just still didn't cut away in time.

I saw it and wish I hadn't. And another observation--this was quickly swept under the rug, but I guaran-fucking-tee you that the next time a nipple slips on the air, they'll be talking about the 'outrage' for weeks.

I concur. Not sure what the fuck yields that double standard but if it were that they'd probably still be apologizing/complaining about it.

I guess the lesson is that bad press still equals ratings, as long as it's tits, not self inflicted headshots.

And for the record, no, I don't watch fox live. I was the idiot who clicked the youtube link. What has reddit done to me?
