So Report All Good Economic News Already!

Reported by Melanie - March 30, 2006

As usual, the only portion of Your World w/Neil Cavuto today (March 30, 2006) that dealt solely with business news was the 90-second segment, "Biz Blast." During "Biz Blast," David Asman (substituting for Cavuto) gave a rapid-fire rundown of the headlines pertaining to five or six companies.

Immediately following that, Asman hosted a roundtable discussion titled, "The Liberal Media: Out to Sabotage the Economy?" Given that this had to be the 276th segment about the "liberal media" aired on Your World in the past few years, you probably know exactly what it was about: that the economy's firing like a rocket but the "liberal media" doesn't report it because it's trying to sabotage George Bush in particular, and Republicans in general.

Memo to Roger Ailes: Fox pretends to devote a whole hour each day to business news via Your World. If there's so much good economic news out there, why then do you routinely devote only 90 seconds per show, per day to it? You have a platform. Quit whining and go for it! Talk about all that great economic news for a whole hour, 24/7/365. I dare you!

It is just like the way the "Lib-rul Media" does not report on the good things going on in Iraq - Why? Because there isn't any. If there were, you can be sure Fox would be reporting it. I read that Fox does not even have a bureau in Baghdad. If that is the case then how the hell would they be able to report IF something good actually happened over there?

Neil Cavuto is a joke and a pervert just like BOR

ROFL. Blame the GOPig failures on the media, the Dems, Hollywood, Clinton, Mrs. Sheehan....whatever it takes to avoid taking responsibility for your failures.

"The Liberal Media: Out to Sabotage the Economy?"

Watch Fox "News"! When there is no news, we make up the news.

ROFL,another opinion from Dr. Matt;you must practice general medicine. You have an opinion on everything.Or rather you have something to say about everything,just to be accurate.

U.S. Economy Grew at 1.7% Annual Rate in 4th Quarter
Bloomberg, March 30, 2006

The U.S. economy grew at an annual rate of 1.7% last quarter, THE SLOWEST PACE IN ALMOST THREE YEARS, while an inflation measure watched by the Federal Reserve rose more than earlier reported.

The final revision of gross domestic product compares with a growth rate of 1.6% reported last month, the Commerce Department said today in Washington. The inflation gauge rose at an annual rate of 2.4%, up from 2.1%.

Fed policy makers this week called the fourth-quarter slowdown "TEMPORARY" and lifted their benchmark rate for a 15th consecutive time. Central bankers have said they would be comfortable with 1% to 2% inflation. Treasury notes fell after the report...
