“The Fix” Becomes “The Quick Fix” — For Now

As WebNewser first reported Saturday, ABCNews.com’s “The Fix” was being forced to change names. Today, in his daily video on the site, ABC News anchor Bill Weir explained. “”We’ve gotten so much great response,” said. “Hands down, the most interesting response was the cease-and-desist letter we got from the lawyers of The Washington Post.

Weir had this to say about “The Fix”-er, Chris Cillizza. “He’s really steamed at us,” said Weir. “Apparently he went through the trouble of making T-Shirts and everything so he sicced his double-breasted dobermans on us.”

So the temporary name is “The Quick Fix.” But as Weir says, “If you have any suggestions, send them in.” Check out today’s entry of “The Quick Fix” below:
