Nobody At Fox Business Has Any Idea What’s Happening, At All

When Fox Business News anchors “throw” a story to a “correspondent,” that correspondent may know something, or may just sit there looking flummoxed and terrified. This may happen several times in a row! They do not know anything, these people.

    That is an absolute classic. They should play it over and over and over.....maybe at the new George W. Bush Library.

    LOL. I love how none of them even know enough about the what's going on with Chrysler to bullshit their way through the headline. They didn't even understand what "stay for Chrysler" meant.

  • Artur Van Asinine

    wow. that was terrible. but i do so enjoy sending clips like these to my tv journo cousin, and making some kind of lame anchorman joke.

  • Nesbiteme

    If we are the best and the snarkiest and these Fox clowns have this kind of power over us, I shudder to think about what kind of control they have over the folks in our country who think professional wrestling is real!

    @momof3wildkids: Just to be clear... by the "Irish" comment, I meant that all Irish broads I know (I have a family full of them) are smart opinionated women. No disrespect of other nationalities intended.

    It's like watching really stupid children play hot potato.

    @monoverb: But, strangely, they know "roll over" and "fetch."

    Yes, but I will not be able to sit at the plaintiff's table.

  • momof3wildkids

    CNBC is no different. My husband gets a woody (probably not for 55 hours) over Erin Burnett at CNBC. Erin is smarter than this broad; but then again, she is Irish.

  • zagger

    You just know that Robert was watching CNBC, watching the "breaking news guys" in order to find out what to say on his own Fox Business channel.
    Or maybe Robert was watching Bloomburg news.

  • No Day Like Friday

    In David Foster Wallace's review of Tracy Austin's autobiography, he said that professional athlete's complete unawareness of their own greatness was the very essence of their athletic talent.

    Same thing, but in the opposite way!

  • if_i_only_had_a_heart

    Jenny said, when she was just five years old
    you know there's nothin' happening at all
    Yeah, every time she put on the radio
    there was nothin' goin' down at all
    not at all

    Then one fine morning, she put on a New York station
    and she couldn't believe what she heard at all
    She started dancing to that fine-fine music
    ahh, her life was saved by rock 'n' roll
    rock 'n' roll

    If somebody's going to feed me bullshit, they might as well be smoking hot. Especially you, vaguely ethnic trading floor woman.

    At least they are pretty. And that counts for something... right?

    Why do they bother pinning microphones on these pretty people?

    But man, they are fucking hot.

  • Mikey-B

    At the 18 second mark, the producer behind that guy shakes his head in disbelief at what is going on.

  • thatnewgirl

    I just got the first part. When she says "define that," she was probably talking to her producer with a hot mic on....asking him to define what a "stay for Chrysler is..." Oh man, this is soooo good.

    thatnewgirl

  • thatnewgirl

    @Guy Whitey Corngood: That's exactly it. Almost all "breaking news" on television is someone reading the AP wire.

    Has The Onion "finally" replaced Fox News????

    If this appeared as an SNL bit I would think it was stupid and outrageous

    So they're just like bloggers, except they're on TV. They know shit about fuck until an actual news outlet uploads the information.

    Much easier to get away with when you're not on camera!

    So they are like bloggers on live TV. They know about something when a real news outlet writes about it and uploads it.

    @VoxPopuli: You can throw in my aunts with that Vox. Glad to know that you and I are:
    a. Gorgeous
    b. Drunks? Well, you may have me on that one. Cannot speak for Vox.
    c. I can whip up a fine meal, thank you very much
    d. Minxes in the bedroom. Sloppy? Never.

  • resipsaloquacious

    @momof3wildkids:

    If you mean by "smart" that Irish "broads" are almost assuredly unattractive (Burnett being the slight exception), horrible drunks, worse cooks and awful, sloppy lays, then yes, I agree with you.
