And now CNBC is doing it.

You tune into a stock report show like CNBC and you want to here stock news. Now it seems that like Fox business news which reports nothing on business but it`s Trump all the time. CNBC had a chairman and CEO of some company on and Joe Kernan was doing the interview while the two other hosts sat there. He did not ask him one thing about his business. It was all about what he thought about the tax cut and would it be repealed by the democrats and about public education and should there be more charter schools. He asked if his company donated any money to either party to which the CEO responded that they have not in 25 years. Anyway, finally the one host said she liked what he said and Kernan said that`s because he has not said anything. The CEO responded that was because I did not say what you wanted to hear. Joe Kernan another Lou Dobbs wanna be.

In fairness, Presidential politics does have a big impact on the business climate and stocks, and that's why commentary on Presidential policies have been common as far back as I can remember.

But it's clear that they seem to favor Republican policies instead of being unbiased.
