I watch for the comedic value. But I really feel sorry for those who take the 'NEWS' they report as being fact. I wonder how long people can accept being lied to because it supports their political view.
FOX takes skewed statistics and mixes them with lies and then calls people who don't agree with them names. Its childish, and for the most part....it works!
I just heard Bill Oreiley tell me, and Wesley Clark (formers Supreme Commander of NATO) that he is in contact with the commanders on the ground in Afghanistan, and that everything over there is going great!.....A-fricking-MAZING!
They are EVERYTHING that they label others, they are the opposite of what they label themselves (Fair and Balanced) Its really a funny joke that they play on the loyal viewer...they are lauging all the way to the bank. They have figured out that by making you happy with cooked statistics, calling skeptical people 'crazy', and keeping you afraid, you'll keep watching....I hate FOX news, but I hate the people who eat their lies and talking points and accept them as facts more.

Yeah whatever. The other networks are largely as bad on the other side.
As to the content of the article, politicians on all sides try to pump things up. All I can say is I'm not a knowledgeable investor, I just buy diversified funds and my funds' 5 year annual averages are :
6.85, 9.77, 26.16, 11.34, 21.71, 14.08, 9.88
That's an annual avearge of 14.3% in about the same period as the article was talking about. Well above inflation which has been 2-3% most of those years, I'm beating inflation by over 10% annually and I don't even know what I'm doing.

my brother.....thats not true.
Its not just one show...or one anchor...its the ENTIRE Networks policy. From the way you just shrugged off the fact that you accept skewed facts, I believe there is no way you will ever see or hear the fact that you are being lied to and you think its okay.

I envy the blissfull world you see.
You see the rest of the network world just as blissfully Regardless, the point Snow was making, even if overstated, is that there are good things right now in addition to bad - and I happen to agree with him.

nah dude...the point is he grossly overstated how well the stock market has done percentage wise since Dubya cut taxes, then lied about how nobody was covering it. And Cavuto doesn't have the facts straight to call him on his BS.

THAT is the point.
Politicians on both sides do that and get away with it. The point was that things have gone well. I laugh at his numbers, in 5 years, before inflation, my stocks have gone up 195% (14.3% compounded annually over 5 years). I'm good with that.

I think I am having a conversation with myself......so.....
Congrats on your investments!

You aren't, I know what you're saying. But just like you think I'm too blind to see Fox's bias, I think you're too blind to see the biases of the other networks.

Yep, very well diversified. My larger point, though, is that while a few of mine have outperformed the market, they aren't that far off. The average Vanguard fund, from a quick look, seems to be around 8-9% annually over 5 years. Good money for the millions who have 401Ks. That's what Snow was saying.
We can't handle the truth !!!
