I think that one of the few defenses we have left against corporation malfeasance is by making them public. I don't think the government is keeping that tight of a watch anymore (which I imagine you find a positive thing). So the usefulness is different. Overall, I don't watch business television, so I'm not the target market and do I not know the nuances of business television...so I'm really unsure if there is actually a demand for this sort of television. I just find it funny how Fox is gobbling everything up and making a new spin on a different type of channel. Personally I think it’s more important than for “inadequate liberals”.

Fox will trounce CNBC precisely because the latter focuses way too much on sensational stories about market malfeasance and not enough on markets in general. I like looking at Maria Bartiromo as much as anyone, but the real news is happening every day in the business world: where a new invention is created; where an underperforming company falls; where a major conglomerate acquires a smaller one, where stocks tank or soar. This is useful information. Fixating on Enron and all those evil CEOs might make inadequate liberals feel warm and fuzzy, but it no way improves the market, where the business of America is done, nor does it increase American wealth. Bravo, Murdoch, Bravo! Say what you will about Murdoch but he is right.
