For lack of a better hobby, I collect Fox News screen grabs<\/a> that demonstrate their unfaltering commitment to obfuscation, misrepresentation, propaganda, and plain old garden variety lies. These were all snagged last week from “Your World”<\/em> with Neil Cavuto. Cavuto has been tapped to be the managing editor of the new Fox Business channel which debuts October 15. This should give you all a pretty good idea of what to expect from the new network which claims that it “Means Business.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n
\nIn a discussion of the Free Flow of Information Act of 2007, Neil Cavuto and company described the bill as shielding “leakers”<\/em> rather than reporters.<\/p>\n

CBS News:<\/a> The Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday advanced a bill to shield reporters from being forced to reveal their sources in federal court.\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
The Cavuto Crew implies that a Hillary Clinton presidency should scare Wall Street. They apparently don’t know that Wall Street traditionally performs better<\/a> during Democratic administrations.<\/p>\n

“…the Dow Jones industrial average has returned an average of 6.4% under Republican presidents and 9.1% under Democrats since 1901.”\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n\n\n
Are Democrats using kids as props? Gee, I Don’t know. Let’s ask President Bush who has made a habit of it throughout his presidency.<\/p>\n

Whitehouse.gov:<\/a>
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

And Fox wants people to take them seriously as a news network? How many viewers will take this sort of twisted proselytizing seriously. For rightwingers who so often complain about activist judges, they obviously aren’t too concerned about activist journalists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
