"In an interview with TheStreet.com, News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch is asked about Fox Business Network rival CNBC:
Question: Are you annoyed you don't own CNBC?
Murdoch: No
Question: Why not?
Murdoch: Because we're going to enjoy the competition. We have to get wider distribution and that takes time. We are further ahead with Fox Business than we were at this stage with Fox News, and Fox News today is one of our very greatest and largest assets.
Question: Why don't you hire away all the CNBC on-air people?
Murdoch: We don't think they're all that good. There are some good ones, but that'll be up to [FNC/FBN chairman] Roger Ailes. We create or we discover previously undiscovered talent and make them into stars."
This why I watch Fox because there is so much talent out there, you don't have to recycle losers and useless journalists. Business people know and feel business and Roger Ailes is amazing at finding real talent in business, politics, and showbiz. I look forward to watching FBN beat the pants off of CNBC.
