this thread is intended to be more than just a bitch 'n moan session on Fox News. It will serve as an analysis, with specific examples illustrating their positives and negatives.
1) they are split screening two news stories that have nothing to do with one another. The downward trend of the Dow, which they are interestingly feeding into a discussion of not raising taxes on the rich. That's an interesting direction for the mainstream media to take our financial crisis, into extending a break for the wealthy (which will now pass, mark my words). The other item, the hurricane, is of course a natural event. The market is not a natural event. But to pair the two stories is to pair the idea that Wallstreet is a force of nature, a storm that's as unavoidable as hurricane Earle.
