Another Salvo In Fox News’ War For The Wealthy

Guest blogged by Brian

Fox News’ “business block” is always looking for ways to help the rich and screw the rest of us. On Saturday’s (10/31/09) Cashin’ In, the gang used the ruse of claiming there’s a “war on wealth” to attack President Obama’s efforts to shore up the economy and help the middle class. With video.

Fox Nation Distorts George Soros' Work In Order To Demonize Him

Guest blogged by Dan

From the Fox Nation headline, "Soros Spending $50M to Battle Free-Market Capitalism," you'd expect Mr. Soros to be waving the red flag of revolution. But the real story is something entirely different.

Frox News Tries To Suggest Stimulus A Waste Of Money

Guest blogged by Brian

A segment in which Fox News accused the White House of exaggerating the number of jobs created by the stimulus was obviously an attempt to suggest the whole thing was a fraudulent waste of money - without the burden of doing any real investigation.

Fox Business As Usual - Attacking Obama

Guest blogged by Dan

An article on Foxbusiness.com reports on a meeting between White House officials and several top business CEO's many of whom are also members of the US Chamber of Commerce. Fox reports that an unnamed "business source" "said (White House adviser Valerie) Jarrett asked executives to pressure the Chamber to moderate its opposition to creating a new Consumer Financial Protection Agency." The article also noted that the White House called that report "inaccurate." Funny how we can't recall the same level of interest from Fox News about what happened during Dick Cheney's secret meetings with energy companies. Meanwhile, the comments are loaded with smears and attacks on Obama rather than business discussions.
