Considering that FNC’s slogan, “Fair and Balanced” has become a catch-phrase despite the fact that it is neither, you can’t be surprised that FBN would complain about a competitor doing something that it does also.

It’s just like the Republicans.
Say one thing, do another.
Surprised? Not me.
Their network feels like Fox News but even worse.
They constantly make fun of Democratic positions
in the middle of their so-called Business news
coverage. That’s neutral? That’s balanced?
Surprised? Not really.
It’s Just Fox.

FBN is a joke, that keeps on getting funnier.

Not to excuse FBN, but CNBC has been around for a long time now and could have fleshed out their schedule more. I don’t know of any channel that launches without hours and hours of paid programming. However, that is usually all but replaced within a couple of years. And with the fabled “corporate synergy” between NBC units, you would think there would be more on CNBC’s schedule that has to do with business and/or NBC.
