The outrage over msnbc and NBC’s obvious liberal bias is growing, and the shareholders have had enough! You might say they are mad as hell, and aren’t going to take it anymore.

“My biggest surprise was the open hostility to MSNBC,” said Tom Borelli of the Free Enterprise Action Fund and a four-year critic of Immelt. “It was noticeable and loud. I don’t remember any of this going on last year.”
“Any time MSNBC was mentioned, there was a rumbling in the crowd of 400 people,” he added. Borelli also asked a question pertaining to GE’s stock performance since Immelt took the helm.
Czajkowski said about 15 shareholders voiced criticism of NBC, MSNBC or CNBC, which was met with applause. When Immelt defended the networks, he was booed. “He didn’t have good answers,” Czajkowski said.
Paul Roeser, a shareholder since 1962 who had never been to a GE shareholder meeting until now, estimated that more than two dozen people expressed concern about GE’s television news division. “The biggest thing there was the put-down of NBC and MSNBC as slanted news media,” he said. “Of the people that got to make a remark, almost all of them mentioned it.” Roeser, a retired New York state trooper, also said that Immelt’s defense of MSNBC was met with “lots of boos,” some of which can be heard on the Borelli tape.
Jesse Watters, a producer on “The O’Reilly Factor” snuck into the meeting, and confronted Immelt, but his criticisms were cut short when his microphone was cut off, according to several people there. Also in this video, O’Reilly continues his investigation into the GE and Obama connection, and Cap and Trade and their abuse of power. The first video is here, from my post garofalo’s stench rises all the way to the top..

It’s good to see shareholders express their outrage and realize their decline in profits stems from the bias of NBC networks. Nothing makes people sit up and take notice faster than when it hits them in their pocketbook.
Now, the interesting part will be to see what happens moving forward with GE and NBC and the Obama administration. Will NBC back off their liberal (hateful) bias, in hopes of improving their ratings? Or will they continue with the pro-Obama slant, using their power to influence politics, in hopes of getting more bailout money, and billions of dollars in cap and trade transactions?
