CNBC vs. FBN

Sort of a slow news day, isn't it? And Carney's not here. Doubly sad! In light of such things, and because he would've wanted it this way, we've decided to discuss a few of the differences you should come to expect between the Fox Business Network (starting Monday!) and CNBC. Here's the first, the next one will come when we get around to it. Ann Coulter: CNBC's been running non-stop coverage of her appearance on (CNBC's) "The Big Idea" with Donny Deutsche, wherein she said that Jews are "unperfected Christians." (No biggie). FBN, on the other hand, when it comes to the lady of the night, will do a piece on this story. (Warning: no photographs, but still probably NSFW, unless your work is down with you reading stuff like "I fucked Ann Coulter in the ass, hard," on a company computer. Hopefully they are, because it is completely worth it, and maybe worth getting fired over. Hat tip: Keith Hahn, who introduced the site to me one day a few months back when I was feeling blue and said "you will never be sad again, provided you can access the internet.") Not better or worse, just different.

Ann Coulter's Controversial Remarks on Jews [CNBC]
I Fucked Ann Coulter in the Ass, Hard [IFACITAH]

NB: I'm keeping this post on top for the rest of the day. New posts will be added underneath, because if there's ever been anything on DealBreaker that I've truly cared about, it's getting you to go to that site, err, I mean showing you the differences between CNBC and Fox.

According to Julia Allison, they dropped the "Network" from the name. I dare you to call her and confirm it.

Bess, you are AMAZING

oh my god bess

BTW, it turns out that Ann Coulter is the CraigList bitch.

Posted by Bored, Oct 12, 2007 2:27PM

I saw a commercial for FBN on some other network the other day (maybe FX?), and it was quite possibly the worst produced commercial that I've ever seen. It looked like a 7th grader made it in their parent's basement.

bess deserves a medal

Keith deserves a medal, pitching in like this even after Carney canned him

Jesus fuck, levin, you are amazing.

I saw a commercial for FBN on CNBC the other day, no sh*t. Anyone know what channel it will be and if it will be available on regular cable or do you have to call up and have it added?

send carney away more often

This is so retarded - religion is less believable than the fairy tales that amuse my small children. People arguing about perfecting jews are like people arguing about what amounts of earth, fire, water and wind make up humans.

Has anyone ever been ass fucked, genlty?

Posted by XIX, Oct 12, 2007 3:13PM

Posted by , Oct 12, 2007 3:14PM

if you can get past the idea of ass fucking at all then yes it can be done gently

Posted by , Oct 12, 2007 3:29PM

the AC thing is FUCKING HILARIOUS.

bess, i want to put you in my back pocket so i can take you out whenever i want and put you on my desk at gs and make you make me laugh. i'm sure i can pay better than carney.

Ann Coulter is the original Stephen Colbert

Posted by , Oct 12, 2007 4:40PM

yes only she is conservative and not a crazy liberal

Posted by Random Banker, Oct 12, 2007 4:56PM

Its an act, no educated person actually thinks like that

Posted by Anal_yst, Oct 12, 2007 5:10PM

Amedenijad is an educated person (apparently), and he (also apparently) thinks crazily.

Of course, one could attribute that to him being purely a puppet for the sha or whatever that crazy religious guys name is. But then, what's Coulter's excuse? Who's pulling her strings?

Posted by The Understander, Oct 12, 2007 5:34PM

The only person stiffer than Al Gore is Rush Limbaugh looking at him.

"Annie Coults" is just like your crazy family member with Tourette's Syndrome. Everyone has to apologize for her because of her condition.

She sure sells a lot of books, though. Will be glad to see her fade away into historical insignificance.

If television and Fox News had been common place in 1933, Adolph Hitler would have been their Ann Coulter of that time. But it would have been hard to do a live shot under just torchlight and Ann doesn't look good in a brown shirt or anything else.

Posted by Fake Russ Meyer, Oct 12, 2007 5:43PM

Unless Ann Coulter gets 44 HHH implants, about the size of her Adam's Apple, I won't be able to consider her for my new feature, "Ilsa the SS She-wolf Returns to The Valley of The Ultra-Vixen Killer Pussycats".

Oh, how I dream of Uschi.......

Posted by Random Banker, Oct 12, 2007 5:55PM

I dunno the book sales are enough. But maybe the Clintons are paying her so Americans realize how nuts the right wing really is.

Posted by Sandy, Oct 12, 2007 6:56PM

Disgusting as they may be, you need you need people like Coulter, Oreilly and Limbaugh to balance out the effects of the likes Sharpton, Franken, Lou Dobbs and the rest. You need a Fox News to balance out the rest of NYT/LAT etc.

In an ideal world you would have neither but sadly it is an imperfect world. Attacking just one side of the fence is just like being one them.

Posted by Sandy, Oct 12, 2007 7:06PM

oops.. i forgot to mention michael moore...

Posted by , Oct 12, 2007 7:54PM

Sandy,

How dare you try a confuse this group with logic. For shame.

So you are saying we would be better off without fanatics of any kind? hmmm.

Posted by Random Banker, Oct 12, 2007 8:46PM

Lou Dobbs is your nut not ours the left wants nothing to do with his brand of Xenophobic small minded isolationism

Posted by Sandy, Oct 12, 2007 9:24PM

90% of Lou Dobbs' middle class / working family rhetoric is straight out of the left-liberal socialist playbook.

He actually is a representative of the 'xenophobic isolationist' view of the unions that constitute a bulk of the grassroots support of the liberal circles / the democratic party.

What is there to the economic strategy of the democratic party other than xenophobia and isolationism?? (Ok other that communism ie.)

Posted by Random Banker, Oct 12, 2007 9:51PM

Yeah I forgot its the Democrats who want to build a border fence, right?

And the Clintons didn't get NAFT passed, right?

90% of Dobbs' argument comes directly from the nut job small town "evangelical" courting Carl Rove play book.

Now it happens some Union members hold those same views as Dobbs. It also so happened that Howard Dean had a perfect score from the NRA as Governor of Vermont. That didn't mean Dean wasn't liberal and just because some union members agree with Lou Dobbs doesn't mean he's not a right wing hack.

clearly not a fanatic free zone here.

You collection of idiot bastards......where does much of anything you've responded to appear in the initial post???? An fuck Lou Dobbs. And for that matter most of you posters......

Posted by Paper boy archives, Oct 13, 2007 9:49AM

A quote from Newsweek Feb 2, 2007. The mainstream press questioning Bartiromos journalistic ethics, while bloggers are insinuating that the Banker and the Anchor may have had more than just professional ties. For those with short memories...refers to a "relationship" between the former Citigroup wealth cfo and the above pictured person on the left. On the right is a pretty lady and mother....Alexis Glick....heads up FBN starting Oct 15, 2007.

That is one hot redheaded anchor.

Posted by , Oct 13, 2007 1:27PM

Ann Coulter is one smart lady, ass-fucking incident not withstanding. Yes, her comments are provocative and easily taken out of context, but whatever happened to our doctrine of free speech? Clearly, Bess et al are delighting in it here -- so why so much anger toward an ass-taking woman with strong opinions?

Posted by Survey King, Oct 13, 2007 4:18PM

OK guys, now that you have viewed these two since Friday afternoon....who would you rather do.........the one on the right or the one on the left?

Posted by king of england, Oct 13, 2007 6:31PM

dearest blogass, i'm forwarding your contact to mr. macuno. he'll tell ya what i mean he he

There's something about that whole middle age slutty look that does something for me. I'd yank the lever for BJ Bartiromo.

Posted by Tony, Oct 15, 2007 7:31AM

Who is the redhead on the right?

Posted by watchmen, Oct 15, 2007 8:32AM

To Tony......the redhead on the right is not so much red.....its the lighting. She is brunette. Alexis Glick......She is the one responsible for organization of the new FOX business channel. She is a formner CNBC employee who probably refused to fly on corporate jets with married men who were lechers......unlike the one on the left.

Posted by watchmen, Oct 15, 2007 8:52AM

mediabistro.com........will give you a lot of info on FOX The TVnewser.com likewise.

This place works much better as Bess' Blog.

If Bess ever needs to know what she's talking about, she can just call somebody. I don't think we need Carney for that.

some people are sooo sensitive

I don't want to see this article go without mentioning Sue Herrara.......she is a hottie to we older guys. Power Lunch CNBC today is at Four Seasons Restaurant. I would like to watch the real FBN but, it is only on Dish in my town. I can, I guess watch online. Anyway catch Sue......so she's married....she is a hottie.
