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.

@son of spam: Moist is better.

no, not at all
@Smitros: That is exactly what Mr. Momof3 says. You men are pigs. :)

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.

Bah. You give him too much credit. He was searching for that shit on Twitter.

@naugahydeinplainsight:
Or brah-less?
@nathanst: Without the potato.
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.
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!

Do what I do. Turn the sound off and think damp thoughts.
@momof3wildkids: Erin? Go, brah!
The guy goes to google the story WHILE ON THE AIR! too too good.
@if_i_only_had_a_heart:
Despite all the amputations
She could dance to the rock'n'roll station
And it was alright

@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.
momof3wildkids
It's like watching really stupid children play hot potato.
@monoverb: But, strangely, they know "roll over" and "fetch."
@TheHonJudgeSmails:
Yes, but I will not be able to sit at the plaintiff's table.
depardoo
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.
momof3wildkids
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.

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!
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
"Wait, me??"
No, the other moron standing in front of a camera with a mic on her collar pretending to be a business reporter.

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?
TabithaIapetus
@TheHonJudgeSmails: Hot and totally unbothered by the things they say.
skippywasserman
@depardoo: I smell a lawsuit!
@Richard Lawson: I'll be taking the fifth.
Sounds like someone doesn't know what a "stay" is.
monoverb
The basics of it is, I am just going to repeat the headline.
jbwan
Why do they bother pinning microphones on these pretty people?
@TheHonJudgeSmails:
Indeed, one of them is responsible for my recent 55-hour erection.
depardoo
And they give the president a hard time for his teleprompter!
pony_express
"Well, while I've got you, what are you doing for the Fourth?"
Fox Business News: because CNBC is too advanced for some people.
LUV_TRUK
These people weren't hired for their brains, but rather for the lack thereof.
skippywasserman
But man, they are fucking hot.
At the 18 second mark, the producer behind that guy shakes his head in disbelief at what is going on.
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.

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

@FriendlyFloyd:
I was joking, Floyd.
resipsaloquacious
Has The Onion "finally" replaced Fox News????
nothing going on at all. not at all.
you know her life was saved by rock and roll.
@depardoo: All rise?
nothing going down at all. not at all.
If this appeared as an SNL bit I would think it was stupid and outrageous
girlymag
@FriendlyFloyd: It looks like it IS the ONN
Wow. Almost puts the Onion News' scripted tomfoolery to shame...almost...
FriendlyFloyd
@resipsaloquacious: Check the genetic stats of most hotties.... You'll find some Irish in there.
FriendlyFloyd
@heywhat: Yeah, good point. She must've gone to the Ron Burgundy School of Journalism.

@blix: Drinking a fifth.
momof3wildkids
@resipsaloquacious: My mom says thanks and says to swing by around 3 tonight.
@blix: The fifth is the Christian Sabbath, and I'm a sucker for any reason not to work, so I'll also be taking the sixth.
@Guy Whitey Corngood: Bloggers also tend to be very repetitive and equally vain.

@momof3wildkids: no. and damp is funnier.
TableNine
I've watched this about 10 times and it is still funny.

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!
Guy Whitey Corngood
So they are like bloggers on live TV. They know about something when a real news outlet writes about it and uploads it.
It's much easier to get away with when you're not on camera!

That main anchor Liz isn't even that.

@VoxPopuli:
Please accept my apology, I mispoke, your Mom is not an awful, sloppy lay. ;)
resipsaloquacious
@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.
momof3wildkids
@TabithaIapetus: No, that counts for everything.
heywhat
This is what happens when you hire all your "reporters" from the pageant circuit.
@resipsaloquacious: Hey, my mom may be all of those things, but the rest of us are smokin'.
@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.
resipsaloquacious
@El_Gato: Who else could she have been talking to? But she was the prettiest one so she would be the dumbest.
heywhat
Those damn activist Supreme Court judges are always screwing up Fox Business' spritely news rhythm!
@LUV_TRUK: And that's what scares me.

@El_Gato: It sadden's me that Ron Burgundy has usurped Ted Baxter in the vernacular.
I do love Sherry
@momof3wildkids: Erin Burnett is an Irish Wolfhound, eager to devour men and Maria Bartiromo.
