This just in: birds fly and fish swim.
Rupert Murdoch says his upcoming Fox Business Channel will be friendly to business. Murdoch apparently believes today's business press is engaging in too much adversarial reporting.
At a media conference in New York yesterday, Mr. Murdoch said the Fox Business Channel would be “more business friendly than CNBC,” which he said was quick to “leap on every scandal,” according to a report on his remarks by BusinessWeek.com, whose parent, McGraw-Hill, sponsored the conference.Consistent with Fox Business Channel's shiny, happy journalism philosophy, Neil Cavuto will be one of the anchors, and will "oversee the channel's content."
In a separate interview, [Fox News Chairman and Chief Executive Roger Ailes] elaborated. “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.”

I see the Daily Kos on your blogroll, questionable...
Fox is like the old granny that helps her grandchildren by paying them to rake the leaves, thereby keeping money in the family. All Fox is doing is keeping the money in the family by being nice to big businesses worthy of its news segments.
Fox is doing its job in further blocking out the little guys. Business at its finest, yuck.
