I've watched three different networks this morning, and here's what I saw:
- On CNBC, the biggest story is the Wuhan coronavirus story, and its effects on investment strategies and other companies, particularly airline stocks.
- On Fox Business Network, the biggest story is the Wuhan coronavirus story and its effects on investors, and a secondary political story is Trump's State of the Union speech on Tuesday.
- On MSNBC, they specifically announced that there are just two big stories today: Trump's continuing impeachment trial and the Iowa caucasus. No mention at all of the Wuhan coronavirus story. These people truly live on a planet of their own.
Forget Fox Business Network, and tell me what was playing on the Fox Network: do you what Fox and Friends?. Of course the business networks focused on business issues. The political networks focus on politics. I assume their viewers expect that in both cases.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
