Fox News Stops Posting Embarrassing “Behind The Breaks” Segment

FoxNews.com has stopped posting videos for Fox News Watch's “Behind the Breaks” segments, which featured panelists' discussions during the program's commercial breaks.

The online-only segment seemed to only gain attention when it embarrassed Fox News. Indeed, FoxNews.com's last update - for its July 9 program - featured panelists admitting they weren't going “to touch” the hacking scandal involving their parent company News Corp. The video drew notice here and overseas as Fox's coverage of the controversy about its parent company drew scrutiny (perhaps due to the attention, Fox News Watch subsequently covered the story).

Since the notice over its “Behind the Breaks” video about the hacking scandal, however, FoxNews.com hasn't posted any further videos. Fox News Watch's website used to feature a section for the videos (under the “Most Recent Video” tab):

Now, that segment is absent from its website:

The .rss feed for Fox News Watch's videos last shows a “Behind the Breaks” video posted for its July 2 show. The .rss feed no longer shows “Behind the Breaks” video from the July 9 show, and a direct link to the video currently does not load the video.
