Excerpt:

It is starting to look like General Electric is Barack Obama’s Halliburton.

A “Negotiated Settlement” of the Olbermann-O’Reilly Media War

Yesterday Dakinikat wrote a post on the “negotiated settlement” in which Keith Olbermann of MSNBC and Bill O’Reilly of Fox News were silenced by their respective corporate masters, General Electric and News Corp. Here’s a little refresher. From The New York Times:

This is a gotcha:
"The next day, Mr. O’Reilly made the extraordinary claim that “federal authorities have developed information about General Electric doing business with Iran, deadly business” and published Mr. Immelt’s e-mail address and mailing address, repeating it slowly for emphasis.

Then the attacks mostly stopped."

They aren't tanking for nothing.

I knew a long time ago the only plausible reason for the season of the long campaign commercial on G.E.'s networks HAD to be some kind of pay to play thing. There was no reason for a network that had previously talked about Hillary have an eighty percent approval rating among all Americans four years in a row to suddenly do what they did. The extent to which they ran that dirty politics campaigning for Obama was literally jaw dropping. They went too far...yes, they let the puppet strings show.

Now is there a way to hold them accountable at all with Obama already in the White House. What people who voted for him failed to understand is that the next time, the media will push whoever they like again whether you Obama fools want that person or not. Hillary would NOT play ball and hence they went after her like a pack of jackylls.

So, you wanted someone who broke from the pack, you had her and were too blind to see it. You ate up corporate news like fruit loops and believed it hook, line and sinker. You were in your oh so liberal stance, manipulated by corporate interests and good old "B'rock" was the one who helped to fool you.

How you all feelin in Obama land as these things come to the forefront of your mind? FINALLY.

G.E. ought to be if the world were just banned from all media communication in this country for at least ten years as a penalty for lying to the American people during an election to thus THROW that election to a politician for their own gain.

Now let's follow the cash cow over to Ted Turners place and see what we find there.
