Tax Reform in This Election Year: It's Not Likely
Which Credit Card Rewards Does the IRS Care About?DrudgeReport reports that News Corp.'s (NYSE: NWS) FoxNews will be launching Fox Business Network (FBN) on October 15, 2007.
Is this true? If so, what impact will it have on General Electric Co.'s (NYSE: GE) CNBC? I can see that CNBC is already calling itself America's Business Channel in anticipation of FBN's anticipated right-wing cheerleading bias.
I am looking forward to the competition. And as a guest of CNBC, I wonder whether it will open up new opportunities or whether FBN will want its own guests who are willing to follow the party line.
Update: MultiChannelNews provides the additional bit of detail that FBN will be headed by Neil Cavuto. Having been interviewed by him, I would not be surprised if FBN turned out to be a bit of a propaganda channel.
