Most financial news sites have delayed news or do not pick up company/stock, analyst upgrades/downgrades news at all.

What is the best, real-time financial news provider?
Is there a free news wire service that provides real-time news?

Fallen pastor Rev. Ted Haggard seeks financial support
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070825/ap_on_re_us/evangelist_scandal;_ylt=AnPHKvzHONkRghQb7KOZAr47Xs8F

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The Rev. Ted Haggard, who left the megachurch he founded after admitting to “sexual immorality,” has asked supporters for financial assistance while he and his wife pursue their studies.

The former New Life Church pastor plans to seek a master’s degree in counseling at the University of Phoenix while his wife studies psychology, he said in an e-mail sent this week to KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs.

Haggard received a salary of $115,000 for the 10 months he worked in 2006 and an $85,000 anniversary bonus before the scandal broke, The Gazette reported. Haggard’s severance package included a year’s salary of $138,000, and he collects royalties on his book titles, the newspaper reported.

El Paso County records show Haggard’s home, which has been up for sale, has a market value of $715,051.

He isnt that righ compared to most of the really wealthy in this country and his companies are always going bankrupt?
He is great at creating the public perception that he is a financial guru…but in reality, he should be “Fired” by his board members.

he isnt “very” rich and he didnt “start from the ground up”
He is estimated to be worth 2.9 billion ON PAPER which isnt that much compared the big guys out there.
And his father was wealthy realestate developer…Hardy a “ground up” start

Cracker asked:


Last June, as Newsbusters readers will remember, ABC allowed President Obama to pitch his health care proposal in a special edition of ABC’s Primetime hosted by retiring World News anchor Charlie Gibson and (now incoming anchor) Diane Sawyer. Obama was given additional airtime to pitch his health care agenda that evening on Nightline.

Conservatives didn’t get equal time.

Worse, ABC News even refused to allow the conservative group Conservatives for Patients Rights to purchase paid advertising to put out an alternative perspective.

Immediately afterward, the National Center for Public Policy Research (full disclosure: which I work for) began a multi-month review of the commercials run on World News. We found something interesting.

In the 98 broadcast days of ABC World News advertising logged by National Center Executive Director David Almasi and analyzed by Policy Analyst Matt Patterson, ABC’s World News broadcast featured 1,102 commercials, 597 of which were placed by member companies of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) trade association, representing 54.17 percent of total commercials aired.

PhRMA very aggressively supports President Obama’s health care agenda.

David Almasi doesn’t think it’s a coincidence.

“It’s clear that World News relies on the members of PhRMA to sponsor it,” Almasi says. “Ford and Proctor and Gamble are reliable sponsors, but the overwhelming amount of paid ads were for drugs pushed by the members of this very powerful and very political trade association. Ad after ad on World News comes from members of the drug lobby group PhRMA. It’s almost laughable how many ads they run each day. If they were to stop, it would seem doubtful the broadcasts could continue.”

Says Matt Patterson, who analyzed and wrote a report on the findings, “ABC News seems to have a significant financial stake in the success of ObamaCare. Should we be surprised that they hand over an hour to Obama to promote his plan, while shutting out opposing views?”

“There was not one day in which the members of PhRMA were not major advertisers on World News,” Almasi adds. “It’s hard to believe that the producers of the program don’t have this on their minds when they are selecting the issues they cover. CBS burned off the series Swingtown two summers ago because the network found advertisers weren’t interested… NBC cancelled Southland before the second season even aired because of concerns the show… would be unacceptable to advertisers. The concerns of advertisers do drive content. With so many PhRMA members sponsoring World News, it would be hard not to think that people at the network are always mindful of who is paying their bills. PhRMA makes no bones about its support for ObamaCare, and PhRMA’s member companies appear to be the lifeblood of ABC’s flagship World News program.”

Patterson recalls something Newsbusters readers won’t have forgotten: White House Communications Director Anita Dunn attacked the legitimacy of Fox News in October and White House Senior Advisor David Axelrod said of Fox’s news programming, “it’s really not news.” Patterson notes that the White House has shown no similar concern for objectivity at ABC: “ABC appears willing to turn over large chunks of its news programming to a politician, if that politician is backed by companies representing more than half of their advertisements. And for the President, it seems it’s OK for a news organization to support a point of view - so long as it’s his.”

Lord - Of course we need a better health care system. Besides the fact you totally dodged my original question, you’re not telling me anything I nor most Americans already don’t know. But we (65% of Americans) are smart enough to know we don’t want government running health care, nor do we want the tremendous financial burden that is certainly to come with such an endeavour, which even without it we’re still teetering on financial collaspe. Not to mention government has such a horrendous track record with ANYTHING it puts it’s grubby hands on. AND the fact no one here wants to die while waiting for crucial health care like so many do in your esteemed developed countries you so much want to be like (Which if that’s the case I’m sure Canada would love to take you in). The point is it’s much more to this than your simple bad guy/good guy fantasy (”people who wants to kill americans”). Bottom line, if you want to have a debate about it please email me. I’d be more than happy to do so.
But in the meantime, how about answering my question first: DOES ABC NEWS HAVE A FINANCIAL STAKE IN OBAMACARE?
wdx2bb - “The President of the United States is always going to get extra air time because of his position.”

Seriously? They wouldn’t do this for Bush and you know it. Plus, you have failed to point out any mistakes I’ve posted here. It’s too easy to just dismiss something you don’t agree with and call it biased. Perhaps it is, but as I said before, you fail to correct the record. You merely dodge my question entirely. So, since you cannot or will not correct anything I have here, and since you totally avoid my question altogether, is it safe to assume I have it right? I think so. Sorry you lose, but thanks for playing.

Zack A asked:


I well im doing a story on the Economy for my high school news show and im having a hard time finding any news station that suggests any help for students. It would help me greatly if anyone had any advice and it can be purely opinional. My main focus is on Juniors and Seniors planning planning on going to college. If you do have any ideas just try and relate them to the problems in the economy and ways so that they can secure their financial future.

Thanks Zack
