I fat-fingered the keyboard, or maybe I should just blame society.  I meant
to say "not going to be a journalist"  

Here is the corrected text.


Actually, you would lose that 85% of your money.  Carly is not going to be a
journalist, she will be a contributor, a talking head if you will, on the
upcoming Fox News Business News Channel (FBN.)

Now that everyone's personal distaste for each other has run amok.  I'd
like to mention that my money is 85% likely that Carly will probably NOT
be running Fox News, but rather a mere journalist.  As a History Major
from Stanford, she'd likely be suited for the job.  

So Fox News employees should not worry about downsizing nor early
retirements.  Except maybe those assigned to her program slot.

I find that Fox news to have less bias than heretofore ascribed.  They
do show bias but they offset it with opposing viewpoints.*  CCTV9** and
TVE come in a close second.  Although CCTV9 doesn't turn their
announcers into personality cults like the U.S. networks do, has fewer
commercials, and has much less bumper music.  CNN comes in 3rd.

* Case in point, Carly is probably being brought in to express those
opposing views.

** CCTV9 has obvious bias when it comes to Mainland China, but otherwise
they take great pains not to show it in foreign reporting.
