Amid the heavy makeup and tight clothing worn by its female anchors and reporters and Neil Cavuto‘s pouting is one nugget at Fox Business Network, writes Troy Patterson on Slate.
“Amid all of these pandering stunts and all this spicy nonsense, one program, The Dave Ramsey Show, stands as a beacon of sanity. It’s a personal-finance show, but Ramsey, a Nashville-based radio host, abjures the drill-sergeant manner and personal-trainer vibe of CNBC’s Suze Orman.
