See, because current news coverage is so exceedingly biased against big business, they have to do their 'fair-and-balanced' thing and counter the left-wing smear jobs.
Rupert Murdoch, head of the News Corp: the Fox Business channel will be
“more business friendly than CNBC,” which he said was quick to “leap on every scandal.”
Right, because reporting on business scandals would be a bad idea, because they’d -reveal their own complicity in the corruption- focus overmuch on a few bad apples instead of highlighting the good ones.
Hmm, does that rhetoric sound familiar?
And guess who’s going to be in charge of running the new station? Roger Ailes. That’s right, it’s this guy:
"we could take a month's worth of video from CNN International and do a documentary 'Why does CNN hate America?' ... CNN International, Al-Jazeera and BBC are the same in how they report-mostly that America is wrong and bad."
And in case it’s not exceedingly clear to you whose side he’s on, Ailes goes into some detail on the project:
”Many times I’ve seen things on CNBC where they aren’t as friendly to corporations and profits as they should be." (emphasis mine)
You know, I’m quite used to reading things that depress and disgust me. But does he really have to be that blatant about the purpose of the channel? Not to report on business news, but, quite literally, to be friendly to corporate profits.
It's almost like they're testing us, trying to see what they can get away with-- just like Bush was when he proposed fucking Henry Kissinger, internationally wanted war criminial, to head the 9/11 commission.
We don’t report. We misguide.
