Forget test-tickle-less O' Dumma, the people who can hurt Putin are punishing Russia. And no, it's not because of our more-french-than-the-French foreign policy:

 

INVESTORS are deserting Russia, according to a new study by Goldman Sachs, which says capital outflows from the country could double from last year.

 

 

The bank estimates that outflows have already risen to $45bn (£26.98bn) in this quarter, a 60 per cent increase on the same period last year, and that the estimate is consistent with $130bn flooding out of the strained economy in 2014.

=============

I can answer that for myself - there are two parts to Fox and other news outlets, news, and opinion.

I know y'all get tired of my stories, but this one kinda sums up why I don't EVER listen to Fox-

Back in 2010 I was working in Corinth, Ms and that was right after the BP oil well blowup and before they got it capped. Since I was working, 12 hrs a day, 6 days a week, I didn't have a lot of time to spend watching news or anything else on TV - it's all work or sleep .

At breakfast time in the hotel, they had Fox on all the time . NEVER, EVER a mention of what was happening on the Gulf. They concentrated ALL  their news time on trying to get some scandal going about Obama and some North Carolina politician acting like a politician. Sometimes I would go back to my room for one thing or another, and turn on CNN , or MSNBC and they pretty much had real time coverage of the spill. They may have covered it but I never saw it.

In short, Fox seems to only choose stories and try to make them politically damaging to Obama , or any other Democrat. The other news outlets do not do that during their news cast.

When it comes to the opinion portion, it seems that people like Hannity, and company just make outrageous stuff up, and it echoes day in and day out thru Fox echo chamber. Even Jon Stewart went on Bill O'riley and confronted him about the made up stuff. O'riley ask for examples, and Steward gave him several, and yes , even O'riley agreed they do that.
Also, it has been proven that watching Fox news actually makes people dumber ! That is because it produces so much false information that people accept it . It takes a lot more effort to get someone to un-learn a wrong thing than to learn a correct thing to start with.

In the Liberal world, we have a saying "The Left hates Sean Hannity because he lies, the right hates Rachel Maddow because she tells the truth"

Both slant the news to fit their viewpoint, but Hannity does lie, and Maddow dosen't .
I don't watch either, maybe once or twice a month I'll see what Maddow is saying.

One more thing about Fox, Murdock never intended for Fox to be real news, it was designed to put his agenda above all else. It has become the propaganda channel for the Republican party.

Remember what Goebbels said - tell a big enough lie to enough people long enough and they will come to believe it. (my translation)

 edited to add: There are three words that has made Fox News - no, not "fair and balanced" , it is "Someone has Said" , and in most cases , that "someone" was a fox person. If "someone" said it, they can broadcast it like it was gospel . That's how they get away with all the lies and deception.
