We aren't talking about stock prices. We aren't even talking about business news.

Or, how about your news sources blaming McDonald's for obesity so that you garner an emotional response to big deceitful corporations.
Yes, same idea. I think you understand what I'm trying to say. Here anyway.

You have the option of not getting your news from Fox. Currently, Fox is my first choice for TV news. I know what it is and what they do. I think their broader audience understands also.
If their viewers knew exactly what they do, they'd also look to other sources for news to balance things out. You say Fox is your first choice. While I must say I think that's unfortunate, I at least take solace in knowing that also get your news from other sources.

My method is to ask questions before drawing conclusions to try to make sure I understand what is being communicated. It is your choice as to what you take seriously.
So why didn't you ask questions just then? Why did you simply draw a conclusion? ace, you're contradicting yourself.
