Fox Biz Seeks Answers in the Occult
Fox Business continues to push the boundaries of what constitutes business news. Last week it was genital cosmetic surgery; this week it's astrology.
On Tuesday's* edition of the morning show Money for Breakfast, co-host Peter Barnes interviewed astrologer Constance Stellas about the upcoming Federal Reserve Board meeting. Displaying charts she had drawn up for the meeting and for Fed chairman Ben Bernanke, she predicted a half-point rate cut.
