Let's see what happens tomorrow, then.

I hope we see a nice recovery. I fear we won't.

This isn't going to help....

They report then comment on news. Hence the term "commentator."

They are on a channel called FOX NEWS, and attempt to report news.
"Attempt" to report it? Lol. Give it up, Fox News is just as legitimate a news station as CNN and MSNBC.

O'Reilly says his show is the "no spin zone" or whatever, yet hes one of the most biased conservatives in America.
You are showing again that you don't know what you're talking about. Look below and show me how O'Reilly is "one of the most biased conservatives in America." Actually, he is one of the most fair commentators out there.

Face it bro, you get your news from an entertainment source. It shows how little you care about getting facts about your country, and how you just want to hear your rightist agenda spouted by a fake news channel.
Perhaps you can tell me about the "real" news channels out there?

Watch some real news once in a while, theres a lot going on in the country other than Obama being a "socialist"
I like news which presents both conservative and liberal ideas and issues, that is why I watch Fox News.

Faux News is right wing GOP propaganda 24/7. There are no REAL liberals on Faux....just some tokens that they try to pass off as such.

For example, Juan Williams, a supporter of Clarence Thomas, is no liberal but don't tell the Faux News devotees that....what a bunch of buffoons.

Are there really still people dumb enough to believe that they can play day-trader? If not, what would you care what the market did on any given day?

You're insinuating that the market has been propping itself up on the strength of an underlying faith in GM and Chrysler? Did you lose the second half of a round-trip ticket to Bizarro Planet?

Looking at the chart below, show me how Fox News is any more a "propaganda" news station than those "other two."

Here are the liberals on Fox News in addition to Juan...
Geraldo Rivera
Susan Estrich
Geraldine Ferraro
Harold Ford Jr.
Lis Wiehl
Bob Beckel
Ellen Ratner
Ellis Henican
Mara Liasson
Mort Kondracke

Now, can you post a list of conservatives on CNN and MSNBC?

There are plenty of dumb people. Fatuous ones, as well. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives, post-stimulus. I for one hope it begins a gradual upswing of our economy. Don't you?

I'm insinuating nothing. The fact is that the market does not trust the President's strategy thus far. Nothing Bizarro about it...

Bob Cesca: President Obama Is Driving Republicans Insane

* - Media Matters - Fox passes off GOP press release as its own research -- typo and all
Hmm...

From the posts I've read thus far, the short drive to Insanity appears to be over....honey, we're home.

Case closed. This thread has been proven correct when a republican is not only claiming that Fox News really is "fair and balanced" but that O'Reilly isn't one of the most biased people of all time. Obama 2012

That is exactly the reason why Fox is a good informed news channel! It is a heck of alot better than the trash of Misguided Sorry Nobody Broadcasting Crew (MSNBC)
