[edit] Criticism

Cavuto's show has been criticized for its lightweight financial content and partisan agenda.[1] Paul Krugman writing in the New York Times used Cavuto as an example of a new breed of news anchor for whom "the formal rules and the codes of ethics that formerly prevented blatant partisanship are gone or ignored."[2] Cavuto's show has also been accused of pandering to prurient interest, with its segments devoted to scantily-clad women.[3]

Additionally, some of his regular "experts" have questionable credentials. For example, Tobin Smith sells a $3000 subscription newsletter[4] specializing in "micro-caps" (i.e. penny stocks), yet recommends and defends questionable companies such as Interpharm[5] and Xethanol[6]. Guests offering "expertise" on Cavuto's show are also unusual. In August 2006, during the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Your World guests offering commentary on the subject included fitness guru Richard Simmons and boxing personality Don King. Providing commentary on the 2006 fighting between Israel and Hezbollah was comedian Art Linkletter.
