Fox to start more "business friendly" business channel...
Yes, the New York Times is reporting that Fox has plans to launch a business channel. Yes apparently business news nowadays just isn't fair and balanced enough for Rupert Murdoch. Roger Ailes head of FNC floored us with this bit of wisdom
"Many times I’ve seen things on CNBC where they are not as friendly to corporations and profits as they should be."
He added: "We don’t get up every morning thinking business is bad."
Those CNBC commies! How dare they try actually reporting on corporate scandals! Why that could affect profits!
It is striking to me, that Ailes doesn't even really conceal the fact that they'll be distorting business news in favor of corporations. They used to try to keep the appearence of being even handed.
