Sorry for such bad news but No Fox Business Channel Soon, Says Ailes
I mean, knowing what fans all of you are of Fox News, I figured you're probably looking forward to a Fox Business Channel just to see the new and inventive ways that Fox can distort the news

No Fox Business Channel Soon, Says Ailes


Comments by News Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch that he plans to launch a Fox business channel later this year were downplayed by Fox News CEO Roger Ailes Thursday. Questioned about Murdoch's remarks by New Yorker writer Ken Auletta at a breakfast hosted by Syracuse University's Newhouse School in New York, Ailes remarked, "I keep telling Rupert, 'Quit saying that.'" He said that Fox News has yet to determine whom such a channel would appeal to. "Does an audience for business news really exist have they gone on the Internet?" On Thursday, Fox News Channel devoted virtually all of its Your World with Neil Cavuto, described as FNC's premier business new program, to interviews with critics of the court decisions in the Terri Schiavo case. Although the program also included an interview with Health and Human Services Secretary Mike Leavitt on Social security reform and a report from Rome on the condition of the pope, it included no business news.

1. perhaps because the business world doesn't seek lies and propaganda
in terms of business advice (while they could care less about Faux News as a means to manipulate the public?)
