NYMag’s D.I. Likes FBN

We sense New York Magazine‘s Daily Intelligencer blog likes Fox’s new business channel. “We love Alexis Glick, Neil Cavuto, and their motley crew of optimism pirates. They’re irresistible (especially young NYSE floor reporter Nicole Petallides, who makes rival Maria Bartiromo look like the Jessica Tandy in Driving Miss Daisy).”

Whoa. We’re not so sure about that.

The DI goes on to report, “After watching FBN for a week, we noticed upsetting changes in our habits. We started caring whether a stock was in the ‘Fox 50,’ we started getting emotionally involved in the NASDAQ as a ‘comeback kid,’ and we began speaking in an outside voice to people who were sitting two feet away from us. So never again. But it was fun while it lasted.”
