From the little bit I've watched of that channel, I suppose this is what their viewers get treated to day after day on the Fox Business Channel. On Fox News' weekend show with some of the regulars from their sister network, Cashin' In, it was one big union bashing fest during this panel discussion with them opining over the horrors of union members helping people get out to vote for the mid-term elections and blaming them for the loss of jobs in the United States.

Yeah, it's those evil union workers that are to blame for the state of our economy. Never mind the CEO salaries, outsourcing, a race to the bottom with competing with cheap labor over seas and no willingness to fix our rotten trade laws that help encourage that behavior. Those workers who dare to want a living wage without having to work two or three jobs to get by and heaven forbid might want a pension so they can retire without living in poverty are destroying America.

And apparently free speech is great for large corporations, but if the unions want to help people or their members get out there to the polls, they're destroying democracy. And below from CNN's weekend show, Your Money, more of the same flame throwing from their weekend show two of my least favorite regulars on that show, Peter Morici and Stephen Moore.
