Fox News Says Oil Profiteers Are Being Persecuted

Sometimes Fox News can't hide its total disdain for ordinary Americans and their basic economic concerns. One of those times was yesterday, when Fox's Neil Cavuto actually claimed the oil companies who are making record profits off high energy prices are being persecuted.

"The oil companies need no lobby," Cavuto said. "Sometimes I just wonder if they need something else: a fair shake."

Right, Neil. Because ExxonMobil making more money than any corporation in U.S. history is proof that oil companies aren't getting "a fair shake."
