I’m not sure he’s being partisan, simply accurate. Although it needn’t bespoke, since most news savy people realize Fox’s bias. I haven’t seen their financial network. I’m curious if it’s got a slant, or are being neutral.

I am weary of your frequent gratutitous partisan politcal references.  Your point regarding CNBC would carry much more weight in this instance without the pointless preamble.

So what if a TV channel being biased to a particular political party. There must be another biased to the contrary I suppose. Isn’t that a very usual thing?. What’s the point on it?

I worked for Fox News for a while and can tell you that particular orders for many news stories, and the slant they should take, would come straight down from Roger Ailes.

[quote author=“johnnyvn”]I just returned after a lengthy lunch, and I started reading this thread back a couple pages…very interesting that at 2:00pm or so (EST) everyone here was posting that they expected a rally into the close.  ME TOO.  Boy did we get raided there in the last little while. 

Once again, you guys really should be blaming ME because YES, I bought back in today when the stock was around 173.00.  So, OF COURSE, it tanks.  Honestly, if you watched my trading and just did the opposite, YOU’D BE ABLE TO RETIRE WITHIN ONE YEAR!

Fortunately, I’m up for the week, so I guess I can’t complain there.  I just wish I could time things better.  I STILL need to learn to be more patient.

You guys are really amusing.  I’m sure there’s no way to tell which way and how much a stock is going to move within a period of a couple of hours.  Anyway, some people are never meant to make easy money.

You lost out today, but you should make it up on Monday.  Unless today’s losses repeat on Monday.  I’d like to think the odds are not in favor of it.  People should be buying back in strongly.  I just hope this selloff is out of the way before and after Apple’s earnings report.

I apologize for being so curt earlier.  I do not dispute your view that Fox is pro Republican.  It is.  Just like CNN or the NYT is pro Democrat.  You are correct.

My wish is that on this board we can restrain ourselves from partisan political references unless they are clearly for the purpose of increasing our understanding of the financial markets in general and Apple in particular.

So when someone beats up on trial lawyers suing Apple, special tax breaks for an interest group, or some trade protectionism, that is one thing.  But general comments like Bush lied, Carter hates America, or I hate Fox News should IMO be avoided.  I recognize that in years past the Apple community was overwhelmingly left of center.  But that is no longer the case.  Apple is mainstream now.  We all will profit if we respect opposing political views.
