[tsuki]

1. There a money loser. nt

[DrDan]

2. you got to wonder what they could do that CNBC is not doing

is there that much money to justify 2 business channels?

[tsuki]

32. Or who would believe them. News Corps rep for truthful reporting

is in the WC. I can't think of any business that would show them rather than CNBC.

[HughBeaumont]

37. Have Neil Cavuto praise the economy while a Republican is in office.

Once a Dem takes over the presidency, the news won't be so rosy and there'll be Bewshconomy comparisons galore.

Never trust a man with 80s Televangelist hair.


Yep, I'm a giant ball-less penis.

[saigon68]

38. More attractive talk about the need and wisdom to strip mine amerika

[Double T]

3. Now the robber barons of business will have two propaganda networks.........

pushing their lies and BS.

[Alexander]

4. I wonder if this is related to the dollar falling against the Euro.

The worse off we are, the more propaganda is loaded into the catapult.

[Scurrilous]

5. Fox Business Network opens for business

"The new Fox Business Network will go on the air Oct. 15 with 30 million subscribers -- nearly twice as many as Fox News had when it debuted 11 years ago. Fox News' business-news honcho Neil Cavuto will direct the channel's news coverage as well as apear on the air. More later, when the news is officially announced at 2:30 p.m. Eastern time."

[Mike Daniels]

10. With Cavuto in charge the major coverage will be about Hooters and similar companies

I've yet to see him do any serious coverage relating to business to date.

[swag]

6. Right, because Rupert didn't think 'Kuldow & Co." was pro-business enough.

What a snore. I'm sure it will do as well as the Fox "News" version of TDS.

[CatholicEdHead]

23. Kudlow may get lured away from CNBC

As he fits better with FBC than CNBC. That show is a utter joke.

[Telly Savalas]

29. Kudlow is pro-business?

I thought he advocated policies intended to destroy the economy.

[hatrack]

7. They'll talk about how strong the housing market is, and why you need to buy into hedge funds - NOW!

Can't wait.

:puke:

[IndyJones]

14. And how businesses NEED illegal immigrants.

[SteppingRazor]

8. Said one Fox viewer:

"Awesome! Now, when the economy tanks, I won't have to hear about that either!"

[TexasLawyer]

12. LOL!!!

[underpants]

17. ...

:rofl:

[benny05]

9. Extension of Fox Street News

Fox just got an agreement to buy the WSJ from the Bancroft family. This is an extension of a couple of shows on FN and my guess is that they will transfer Cavuto, Gibson, and Gigot to the FBC in order to compete with CNBC.

[fryguy]

11. this at the same time Murdoch is acquiring the Wall Street Journal?

Coincidence? I think not. The two will somehow be linked before you can say Fear and Bullshit, thus ensuring that the financial reports will be as twisted and partisan as all their other reporting....

[Turbineguy]

13. At least I will not

have to see that piece of shit Grover Norquist on CNBC (on right now).

With the sound turned off he looks like a spokesman for Hezbollah or Hamas.

15. "Just as reliable as our regular news!"

Certain programs of the Fox Business Network contain rightward-looking statements that are based on management’s expectations, estimates, projections, assumptions, prejudices, fantasies, and outright delusions. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “scheduled,” “estimates”, "it's Clinton's fault", and variations of these words and similar expressions are intended to identify rightward-looking statements, which include but are not limited to projections of revenues, earnings, segment performance, cash flows, contract awards, production, and mental stability. Rightward-looking statements are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, as amended. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks and uncertainties, which are difficult to believe, much less predict. Therefore, actual future results and trends may differ materially from what is forecast in rightward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation:

*

General U.S. and international political and economic conditions;
*

Changing priorities in the U.S. government;
*

Unilateral government action;
*

Differences in anticipated and actual program performance;
*

The status or outcome of legal and/or regulatory proceedings;
*

Actual contact with The Real World.

All rightward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, if that, or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. All subsequent written and oral rightward-looking statements attributable to the company or any person acting on the company’s behalf are qualified by the cautionary statements in this section, including statements by overzealous staffers, however anonymous they may be. The company does not undertake or recognize any obligation to update or publicly release any revisions to rightward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances, changes in expectations, or cold, hard facts after the date of this report.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

35. oh thanks. now make me feel real bad.

ruin my day why don't you? oh wait, you are still part of the real world, not the faux creation.

never mind.

[Sen. Walter Sobchak]

16. well this should keep the SEC busy,

[Betty]

18. maybe all the asshole morons who believe fox news

will watch this and believe the "business" bullshit and lose their shirts. Hypocrites that they are, I'm sure they won't be turning down welfare after they declare bankruptcy.

[aquart]

19. I hope people take lots of stock advice from them.

[proReality]

20. All good economic news, all the time. N/T

[micraphone]

21. More of the same "business" news...

Does this mean we will have lots of little Cavutos running around with even more stories about Paris, Britney, rapes, lost blond white women etc, etc, et endless cetera...

[ProudDad]

22. That's REDUNDANT (n/t)

[Odin2005]

24. It will be staffed by idiots who don't understand what the term "business, cycle" means.

You know the kind of people I'm talking out, the morons who act as if bull markets last forever.

[rec_report]

25. Well, that oughta s*ck. n/t

[stevedeshazer]

26. Wouldn't it be nice if someone announced a Labor Channel

Every major newspaper has a "bidness" section as well.

How 'bout a LABOR section?

[David__77]

27. Their business shows are stupid.

They consist of phychological cheerleading, not smart or even pragmatic information. I would think that investors would be more interested in an accurate, sober assessment of economic trends.

[tonekat]

28. Coming up next on Fox Biz news....

"Lunch breaks...an idea whose time has passed?"

[Nickster]

40. 8 hour work days......supporting terrorism?

[JNelson6563]

30. It's astounding to me

The claim is that they will have a "business friendly" business channel. I think to myself that they must be joking! Whenever numbers are bad and might play poorly into the markets, all I have to do is trun on CNBC to hear all about why the bad numbers are actually good.

It's the most Orwellian thing and to think that Faux News is going to outdo what's already out there....as I said, "astounding"!

Juile

[AlCzervik]

31. and thats exactly why Murdoch wants the WSJ. What a terrible, terrible thing.

[complain jane]

33. Can't wait to hear their reporting on Halliburton.

[Kip Humphrey]

34. Isn't FIX NEWS already a business channel?!!!

[MadHound]

36. Yup, after the WSJ takeover Murdoch can't wait to start fleecing the people

What with his misinformation, perpetual pump and dump schemes, and lack of reporting hard news investors had better damn well do their research beforehand, and sadly it won't include the WSJ or Baron's anymore.

[truebrit71]

39. Why? CNBC isn't pro-business ENOUGH?

:eyes:

[GoddessOfGuinness]

41. Here's a drawing of the studio design...
