If they weren’t prepared to walk away from their deal, then they should have kept their mouth shut. Inciting public anger over the issue may end up earning them a couple million more, but it’s a very tacky way to go about getting their way. If their willing to jerk consumers around and publicly embarass their business partners, then I’m not sure that I want to be watching their programming to begin with. In the end, this whole publicity stunt ends up making them both look like a couple of jackasses.
