EXCLUSIVE - Memo to Fox Business staff: don't copy Fox News

Here's a novel idea: Fox Business Network should focus on covering business news.

At least that's what Kevin Magee, executive vice president of the News Corp-owned (NWSA.O) cable news network, is urging his staff to do.

Unhappy with Fox Business' focus on politics, Magee fired off a memo to employees reminding them that the network was not created to be a light version of its sister Fox News Channel.

"I've been asked to remind you all again that they are separate channels and the more we make FBN look like FNC the more of a disservice we do to ourselves," Magee said in the memo dated Oct. 5, carrying the subject line "Fox News and Fox Business."

2. What he really means is,
"At this time, we need a channel specifically dedicated to a viscious propaganda attack against the 99%, and to make the Occupiers look like a bunch of bongo-playing rubes."

Just as in comedy, timing is everything.
