      I do PR at one of the top business schools, and we've stopped providing experts to Fox Business News.

      It's become a transparent Right Wing extension of the rest of Fox News. They'd call us to request a faculty member to address a business topic, and then they'd immediately turn the interview into a political debate condemning progressive ideas.

      In a number of instances, they just flat-out lied about the topic in order to get us to agree to provide a faculty member for an interview.

      "Will Obama break into your home and kidnap your dog?"

      Hard-hitting question mark journalism at its finest!

      Just a general tip for the various FOX Propaganda outlets: Boys and girls, the point of journalism is to ANSWER questions. Asking them in this way only highlights that you have an agenda, and that you are not interested in informing your audience, but rather titillating them in furtherance of your particular view of what public policy should be. Got it? 90% of America sees right through you.

      Does using the word "Obamacare" mean Fox Business has a certain bias??

        Don't worry. They will stop using "Obamacare" hen the debacle is over and the bill has been passed and people realize that they are better off.

      There is no rational cause and effect sequence of events flowing from HCR that would result in the loss of hundreds of jobs, much less millions.

        Using "rational" in a discussion of Fox is like using "talented" in a discussion about Jessica Simpson.

      Seems to me one of the concerns that's been floated is that if everyone is covered there won't be enough doctors and other healthcare workers to treat them Wouldn't that mean more jobs?

      Good thing there's no such thing as "Obamacare" then.

      Nothing like the fair and balanced reporting on Fox News.

      "Does Obamacare mean millions more jobs destroyed?"

      "Will Obamacare cause the earth to spin into the sun, causing the destruction of all human life?"

      Gee, we could do this for hours and hours.

      Nothing like pushing those emotional buttons, just to satisfy the bottom line.
