    Fox News would find any reason to criticize Obama and one time he wore a tan suit and they flipped the fuck out saying it was not presidential. They basically created a vertical out of it.

      Got to ask the way you used vertical what do you mean? I only know about it in like a direction or jumping. Am I missing something?

        A “vertical” usually refers to control all aspects of a product from manufacturing to end user sales. In this case, Fox News manufactured the tan suit crisis from nothing, built the outrage around it, and sold it to their viewers.

        In this case they’re referring to essentially a market niche in a new “category” of news.
