So, again, it's the source of the story that you complain about, Lux.

My comments are based on your selected quotes.

And yes, I question the source. As I said, FNN is clearly not in the business of reporting facts. When it comes to financial news, something that may directly affect me when I make investment decisions based on it, I am not going to trust Fox.

Fox has defended their right to lie and it would be especially unwise to follow their business news). They are also very bad at math:

Since I'm hot for cliches today, how about "What's good for Chase is good for America."

Anybody who believes any of this "banks paid back the TARP funds with interest" nonsense deserves to continue getting fleeced by these crooks.

There's fraud, there's corruption, and then there's what the Big Six banks did to us under cover of "saving the financial system" in the autumn of 2008. That's something we probably need a new word for.

There's a whole litany of malfeasance I could probably itemize here, but the most succinct phrase that illustrates why I don't trust anything they say is this:
"mark-to-model" accounting.

Why do you need someone to tell YOU how to feel about things?
