Bikerider…I believe it’s a product of the fact that Fox News, with it’s strong right bias, is going to remain as positive as posssible between now and the elections. Until then, they will complement and support the status quo in every way they can. Fox News has developed a very interesting style recently, wherein they have an interview on a tough topic, the interviewer states all the doom and gloom news, and then throws a softball question up for the republican to hit out of the park. It’s become so pervasive that Saturday Night Live even did a parody on it.
The forward looking statement business is a great one to be in- the only accountability is your own bank account, and your holdings don’t have to match what you’re predicting.
