Tuesday
Is this just a bad video at Fox News or do any of you have problems with it as well? About 4 or 5 seconds into it after the commercial it freezes on me. I have been seeing this fairly often lately and usually on things I most want to see!
It looks like it might be interesting if I could only watch it here in the UK.
I would be very interested to see if folks over in the US also have the problem. I would not put it past the UK Police State of Herr Brown to play games with inconvenient information.
But that would be totally paranoid, and can be disproven by a single person over there also getting a freeze up.

Thanks all. So now we know Fox has a growing problem with its quality control... growing because it did not happen until recently and seems to be happening more and more often.
Always seems to be on really interesting clips though. Must be Murphy at work there.

No problem viewing this clip here in AZ, at this particular moment. And I'm driving the two hours into Flagstaff tomorrow to attend the Flagstaff Tea Party Tax Day Protest and to hobnob with others of a libertarian persuasion. From what I can see, there will be a lot of these gatherings going on around the country.

The clip is bad here in Ohio, too. As an alternate source of info on the Tea Parties, try Instapundit. And now if you will excuse me, I have to lay out my posh frock and long gloves for the tea party tomorrow...

Reporting live from Denver Colorado.....

Yes quality control is a problem.
For example, getting visual effects to work on time and correctly was one of the things that messed up the Laura I.s show (although her emotional response to the mess ups really sank her)
Glenn Beck gets round the problem by being open about it.
"Do we have ....., we do not, O.K. well let us ....." all live on air and without any anger.
But he should not need to do stuff like that.
Sometimes there is sabotage involved (such as the review that ran on Foxnews.com praising "Sicko" to the skies - hopefully that infiltrator is not longer employed, but I would like to be sure), but sometimes it is just young people who do not really know 100% what they are doing.
And with stuff like visual effects one has to know 100%.
Hands on managers (and people who present shows at Fox News also have to be involved in managing the show - it is not just reading off a screen at Fox) will just have to work with their staff to improve them.
They should not need to - but there we go.
Ditto the stuff at foxnews.com and Fox Nation.
There are people with experience from Townhall.com (and other places) who can help - they are willing to.
Let us see what can be done.
