POPSFox Passed Off GOP Talking Points As Their Own Reporting So, in short, Fox News received a press release from a GOP outpost, and rather than reporting it out or applying even the teeniest bit of critical scrutiny, they cut-and-pasted the whole kit and kaboodle into a slideshow just as quickly as their tiny mouse-clicky hands could go, the end.

POPSEconomic Common Cents?
Grasping the whole kit and kaboodle is sort of like a small fish trying to swallow a whale. One idea from his smoothly written economic article is how some rules have to be changed. One big bank failed because it's credit rating went down --but this caused a chain reaction of selling of its stock because the real large holders of stocks, Money Market Funds and Pension Funds have rules about what stocks they can hold...only stocks with certain good credit ratings.
