Office Max!

When Neil Cavuto opened his "business news" show today (May 27, 2005) claiming that stocks were up because "al Zarqawi could be down," and that Fox is "abreast" of some news about Hooters Air, I knew it was going to be one of those alternate-reality kind of days on Your World w/Neil Cavuto. Sure enough, I was right.

Next came an interview with one of the founders of JibJab, another news break, an interview with two pilots who are fighting the rule that pilots must retire at age 60, the "Biz Blast" segment in which Cavuto delivers 6 second business news clips, and then a segment with Charles Payne of Wall Street Strategies based on a USAToday article titled, States take in record $600B.

Comment: So, the main themes for today were sex, the false claim that the stock market rose because al Zarqawi seems to be injured or dying, sex, the false claim that something or someone is punishing France and Germany for not supporting our war, sex, the false claim that the economy's doing great, and sex. Sex, lies and video tape. This is what passes as "business news" on Your World w/Neil Cavuto.
