Fox blocked Cablevision subscribers from accessing content on Hulu

WTH? Why can't everybody just get along with everybody for heaven's sakes. It's like two five-year olds fighting to get a toy that really love, and when one gets it and the other one doesn't, they cry and wail about it. That pretty much describes the very immature behavior that I'm seeing here. Grow a set of balls for heave's sakes! Sheesh!

Wow that is a pretty crappy move to block the internet content. Don't punish the customers FOX you edited by ddp. Take up your battle with the cable/satellite companies but if you continue to block content it makes you look like the bigger a$$hole.

I take great exception to the bias of the article;
Cablevision is paying a higher amount to Fox's competitors even though they now have lower ratings. Newcorp has grown dramatically in 2 years and wants to be paid commensurately. Cablevision needs to renegotiate lower contracts with it's other providers, not continue it's shell game on Fox.
If you were Fox you would have done the same thing with a carrier refusing to negotiate in good faith.
Pub blame where it is due.
