Is there bias in business reporting?

That’s what Fox News business editor Neil Cavuto believes, according to an interview in the Chicago Sun-Times on Sunday.

Among Cavuto’s allegations against business reporters are:

“With Enron, one bad company quickly became ‘all companies are bad.’ There’s a default thinking that says capitalism is evil.”

I’m not sure I agree with that statement. I don’t think that there is a majority of business journalists who think that capitalism is evil. In fact, most of the ones that I know understand that’s how business works and why they have a job, and they enjoy writing about business and profits. If they didn’t, then they wouldn’t be business journalists.

The article also notes that: “His business reporting has a straightforward tone that is neither condescending nor overly technical. He is, in other words, a perfectly mainstream guy.”
