Fox News — the epitomy of creativity
In an SFGate article, linked to from Darknet:
Fox News has no plans to offer unlimited use of its debate content.“That, to me, is giving up too much control to somebody who didn’t create the content and who can then turn around and monetize it,” said Chris Silvestri, vice president of legal and business affairs at Fox News.
Because, of course, it’s rather difficult to assemble ten politicians who already intend to pay large sums of money for media exposure.
Way to go, Fox; way to push the envelope on creativity, going where no one without a network and video equipment can go, but everyone with a network has gone.
I hope(unrealistically) that some politician will boycott the Fox News debate because of Fox’s morally repugnant stance on copyright of debates, so that I could have a clear candidate to whom I would gladly give my vote and money to.
