Did Rupert Murdoch Jinx Wall Street? The strange timing of the Fox Business Channel launch.

The on-air talent at Fox Business Channel, which debuted last Monday, is uniformly peppy. But since their smiling pusses flooded the airwaves, talking up the jargon-free virtues of capitalism and the sheer fun of business, the market has been grumpy. Have you noticed that the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell every single day last week?

FOX is really the Boogeyman!!

Sell, sell, sell....

I heard the Wall Street Journalism now carries a fashion section.

Murdoch is not man some people think he is...

Huh...who would have ever thought it was NOT George Bush's fault?

newsweek must be feeling a little bit insecure, to be nipping at the ankles so soon.

Their big American breasts are weighing down the market...

The markets couldn’t have anything to do with over-extended credit and 3Q earnings reports. Quoting Slate was Newsweak’s icing on the cake for this hit piece.

Newsweek has become a total caricature of what journalism is supposed to be. It’s scary to see supposedly “objective news” organizations turned into nothing but partisan propaganda outlets. What a cheap shot!

Newsweek embraces everything that makes me uncomfortable with being an American is the 21st Century.

[LibLieSlayer]

The market went up today!!! What liberal brain porn for the brainless!

I still miss Julie, from the old 10:00 am Fox Show. Does anyone know why Fox took her off. What a babe!

The author of this article says: “It’s nearly impossible to find centrists on-air, let alone left-wingers.”

BAWAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I had to read that one again; I couldn’t believe my eyes. He also forgot to mention that Murdoch bought DJ/WSJ. I expect he’s got a legion of lawyers working on how to break the deal that CNBC has with the WSJ so he can shut CNBC out of that resource.

Seems like it was lower back in August before I even knew what channel the business network would be on. I think it's more like global warming causing the problems in the Dow.

I can't believe these guys call themselves journalists. waste of tree bark to publish this drivel.

Nothing like those “Big Americans”.

“Peppy” is one way to put it, “perky” is another. My theory is that the market is down because investors are distracted by all of the fine talent on FBN.
