On Monday, we criticized FoxNews.com for not making the Bill Clinton interview video linkable and shareable. Clips of the interview were exploding in traffic on YouTube, in part due to a Drudge link, and some of the Fox News talent were even referencing the YouTube clips instead of FoxNews.com on the air. Then we learned that FoxNews.com demanded that YouTube pull the clips down. And then today, Fox News admitted it was all just a big mistake. “Our Internet division used poor judgment in asking this to be taken down,” reads a statement from Fox News. “We’re thrilled the Wallace-Clinton clip has received so many hits on YouTube.” And all the clips are back. Good grief.
