Fox versus the NYTimes

You have to hand it to Rupert Murdoch. He took the NY Times in his crosshairs, and he is taking them down. Business at the NYTimes is going downhill.

And, I believe it has to do directly with the Fox News Network. They never miss an opportunity to smear the 'liberal, far left leaning' Times -- especially O'Reilly. They've polarized their audience so far in one direction that no self-respecting Republican would read the Times. Amazing work.

If Mark Cuban uses ShareSleuth to trade off of, I can see Murdoch using his own new financial news channel to further his economic agenda -- say, talk up oil shortages if he wanted to move up the price of oil. Talk down whole countries if he wanted to move in and get assets on the cheap. I don't think he's above it. Scary shit.
