FOX News maxim: Politicians don't cause markets to fall (except for Democrats)

Neil Cavuto, FOX News Channel's vice president of business news, reported on July 6 that the stock market was experiencing an "Edwards Dip" as a result of Senator John Kerry's announcement that he had chosen Senator John Edwards (D-NC) as his vice-presidential running mate. Cavuto made the statement despite FOX News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes's past repudiation of the practice of news outlets drawing causal connections between statements by political figures and short-term stock market behavior.

CNN lowered the bar on Kerry "flip-flops"; ignored more significant Bush flips

After showing a video clip of Senator John Kerry (D-MA) making a comment, on the eve of the Iowa caucuses, about Senator John Edwards's age -- a comment Kerry characterized minutes later as "not meant to be negative" -- on July 6, CNN anchor Daryn Kagan and CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider portrayed the comments as a "classic" example of Kerry being a "flip-flopper."

O'Reilly wrong about PBS, Bill Moyers

FOX News Channel host and radio host Bill O'Reilly recently claimed that the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is going bankrupt and that it had fired Bill Moyers -- host of PBS weekly news program NOW with Bill Moyers. Both claims are false.

CNN bolstered Bush-Cheney '04 claims that Edwards not Kerry's first choice

Following Senator John Kerry's announcement that Senator John Edwards (D-NC) would be his vice-presidential running mate, CNN seemed to bolster Bush-Cheney '04 talking points that Edwards was not Kerry's first choice. By the afternoon of July 6, CNN reporters had collectively bumped Edwards to perhaps fourth among Kerry's preferences, behind Senator John McCain (R-AZ), Dick Gephardt (D-MO), and Governor Tom Vilsack (D-NM) -- and behind Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) among VP candidates preferred by "the most 'hard-core'" Democrats.

WTF?

Two of your snippets are about Fox and I don't think I've ever heard anyone claim Fox was liberal.

One is about ONE incident of a CNN reporter calling Kerry a flip-flopper. One comment by one reporter does not make CNN conservative or moderate.

One is about people guessing at Kerry's choices for VP. WTF does this have to do with liberal or conservative bias or lack thereof?

This is great and all, but please post the links demonstrating the liberal bias at CNN. Thanks.

If CNN is the "Communist/Clinton News Network", surely they wouldn't DARE cast Kerry in a negative light!

:Q :Q

 

[DT4K]

Are you seriously using a SINGLE quote from a SINGLE reporter to claim that CNN has NO liberal bias whatsoever?

At the moment, I'm not presenting an argument about why CNN has a liberal bias. I'm simply questioning conjur's argument that somehow a single comment is clear proof that they are not biased. I find that argument to be pretty ridiculous.

That is just about as ridiculous as me saying that Fox doesn't have any conservative bias simply because they showed a reporter stating that no WMD had been found. I mean that obviously portrays Bush in a bad light, so obviously Fox isn't biased right? :roll:

 

[judasmachine]

The thing is, is the Right says the media is liberal, and the Left says the media is conservative. Is it possible that it's actually fairly centrist?

It's obvious, DT4K. A Liberal news organization would certainly never denigrate someone from the Democratic Party.

Now, go ahead and show has CNN is liberal organization.

Are you drunk tonight?
You aren't making any sense.

How does one comment prove the lack of bias?

How is that any different than me claiming Fox isn't biased simply because a reporter once said something negative about Bush?

Your logic implies that you believe Fox News is NOT biased at all. Is this true?

 

[conjur]

FOX is most definitely biased...WAY toward the pro-Bush side.

CNN is centrist. Yes, it was just one article but it flies in the face of anyone calling CNN the "Communist/Clinton News Network")

Now, show us how CNN is liberal.

 

[sMiLeYz]

The liberal media does exists!

Conjur, please pass whatever you are smoking.. because it has GOT to be good... Typical liberal argument.. Fox news doesn't agree with me, so they are biased.. CNN agrees with my views, therefore they are centrist.

For a person with borderline pathological hatred of Democrats and liberals, you're one to talk about biases.

Ok i have a senerio for the people who think the media is liberal.

You have some money. You tend to lean towards the right. Are you going to give money to the left?

Of course not. You are going to give the money to the right.

And the Tv and radio does give more money to the right.

Where the money goes

Let's see here. You ask this little question at 07/07/2004 7:24 AM and then we witness a follow up at 07/07/2004 09:20 AM. Then you wonder why other posters wanna bust your stupid ass so much?

But hey, for one primarily limited to "cut-and-paste" rhetoric, and thus far exhibits few other cognitive abilities, such behavior is expected.

Carry on, conjur.

I admit I am biased.. I don't make absurd claims to be centrist like other people in these forums.

This is just amazing.. YOU are the one claiming fox is biased, and CNN is centrist.. not me.. I made no claims what so ever about the two networks.. I am arguing against what YOU said.. You defend what YOU said, and don't ask me to defend a statement I never made!

 

[conjur]

I'm not claiming FOX is biased, I'm STATING it. It's a FACT. Everyone knows it, except you, apparently.
