So let me get this straight. These clips showing excerpts from Good Day LA, Q13 and all points east have been posted for a week, millions of people have already seen and shared the clips and NOW FOX wants to ’shut the barn door’ ???

Waiting a week to do damage / spin control may have worked in the golden age of the Pony Express and the telegraph, but when people can share content on the internet with others halfway across the world in near real-time a week is a lifetime.
