Peter Chernin's departure from Fox left Hulu without it's biggest booster and defender, and advocate for the free model. Since then, and with News Corp looking to get money from all of its online content, that looks like two votes out of three in favor of pay to play. (Recent article from Houston

For those who missed last night's Countdown, I commend it to your attention. One hour. One man. Two cameras. No interviews. No pundits. No hyperbole. Just a voicing of ideas and suggestions about health care. Not a great hour of television by any modern standard, but well worded and well spoken.

So, by their standards, when Fox allows Hugh Laurie to appear on Leno's show, he is really sticking it to the 10pm newscasts of the Fox affils? This is true regardless of the specific cross-promotion. Networks don't sign off anymore, and haven't since I was a child. If you are a network
