As the stock market tumbles and unemployment hits two-year high in the surging and robust Bush economy, just who is watching the Fox Business Channel these days? Apparently nofuckingbody:
Nielsen says an average of 6,300 people a day watched FBN in the first two months of its launch last fall -- a little more than 2% of CNBC's audience of 283,000.Female Anchors being fitted for string bikinis to boost ratings.

Heh-heh... one of the commentors ('GreatSatan') to the linked article said it best: "Money needs reality. Fox doesn't do reality".
I suspect most intelligent (ie; business-smart) people who would want to watch a show like this are savvy enough to realize that Fox has a HEAVY political agenda that's even going to spill-over and bias their business news presentations.
Addendum:
One side-light in the linked article -- the statement that 'Murdoch's Newscorp plans on investing $130 MILLION on FBN over the next three years BEFORE it breaks even' certainly is yet another nail in the coffin of the myth of the 'liberal media'! I don't know of ANY media organization that is truly 'left/liberal/progressive' that gets anything like even a million $ per year! The COMMERCIAL media (CNN, Time, Newsweek, NYT, etc) all have huge budgets/revenues, but they're out to make a profit and ultimately are apolitical though economically conservative (ie; they believe in the profit/capitalistic system). I certainly wish I had 'only' $100 million to spread around to lefty media ventures....
Yeah, big em, we need to get Soros and a few other lefty billionaires to start up the Snark Satellite Network that we program with only Progressive News, Entertainment, Sustainable Living shows, and radical left and green comedy.
Maru, Undie, Morford, and Johnny at Whitehouse Org get their own shows. I'm producing the CNL show:"Caturday Nite Live!" for when the DemoCATs wake up from the Caturday snooze ready to raze hell.
