As Dow falls, cable-news channels judge Obama

Oh, I love anything that bashes cable news shows. Last week, Jon Stewart got everyone talking when he highlighted all the bad financial advice financial news network CNBC has given out in the past couple of years. This article gets to the point a lot of people are making - with 24 hours a day to fill up, the cable news networks insert a lot of stuff that is not hard news, but instead promotes personalities and stories that fall more in the category of "iinfo-tainment".

They have a right to broadcast what they like, it's a free press. But you and I also have a right to turn it off and find find better sources of news.
