Cavuto Shares BizzyBlog’s Frustration with Economic Reporting
What he said. (HT Right Wing News)
Neil Cavuto of Fox is frustrated, to say the least, that good news is bad news, and rips the Mainstream Media’s business reporting. The last few paragraphs moved the Gripe-ometer into the red zone:
…. Would it kill us to admit that’s because more people are working and more people are paying taxes, so the pie just got bigger? No, we curse the pie and dish out the crap. How’s that for flaky?
In economic news, that’s not being fair and balanced.
Now, I’m not saying, don’t report the bad stuff. Just don’t make it seem like that’s the only stuff.
So, here’s what I say to some of my colleagues in the press: If you want to be the miserable wretches you are, feel free. Just leave us out of it.
Like I said, you’re free to be the jaded, warped, twisted, negative, disingenuous, smarmy bastards you are. And we’re just as free to ignore you.
Because all the news that’s fit to print shouldn’t be all the news that’s fit to tint.
