Fox Business Network: NY Times' Joe Nocera Can’t Take It Anymore
“It’s was Thursday around 4:40 and I couldn’t take it anymore” said NY Times' Joe Nocera of the nascent Fox Business Network. Nocera finally muted his television after watching Liz Claman’s much-touted live interview with Warren Buffet.

I’d heard that FBN was going to be “friendlier,” “breezy,” “accessible, ” “jargon free.” (Subtext: dumbed down)
