On "Fox News Watch" this weekend, Jim Pinkerton made the point, yet again, that MSNBC and NBC were media-stooges for the government, possibly because of ideology, but more likely because GE is so in hoc to Uncle Sam--a point made here at TCG many times. The point doesn't become less true, or less outrageous, by virtue of repetition. What's so interesting is that so few seem to care that the federal government is trampling the First Amendment by buying up the media.
Moreover, TCG was inspired to see what sort of company GE is. And here's what I found, on an admittedly liberal website. But nobody seems to be disputing the basic facts.
So this is what we're getting for our tax money.

You don't need to post this but are you old enough to remember that Ronald Reagan was the host of "General Electric Theater" on
TV for years? I think he traveled around the country and spoke on GE's behalf.
Perhaps the same guys that were running things back then aren't the ones in charge today. --jh
