Just Remember- MSNBC-The NBC part is GE- War Profiteer
I was sucked in to the "MSNBC is being fair" in their coverage last week. Never forget- their parent company pays their shareholders by making and selling engines for jets that drop bombs- if there is no place to drop bombs their stock price goes down. They have a stake in wars continuing. Chris Matthews may have good nights, but he knows his big income and celebrity status dictate that he cannot serve two masters. "I won't get fooled again" The Who

1. GE also...
Makes Nuclear Power Plants. NBC: Nuclear Broadcasting Company. Never a negative word about nuclear power. Ever.

Biggest manufacturer of Nuclear Power, top 10 defense contractor... Oh, yeah, they're liberal, no doubt about it...

2. General Electric
Did you watch "60 Minutes" last night?

In a segment produced by Richard Bonin and Adam Ciralsky, it was shown that General Electric, Conoco Phillips, and Halliburton have funneled $ 200 billion into the infrastructure of "Axis of Evil" states Libya and Iran. The contracts were principally negotiated by draft dodger Dick Cheney and were designed to advance the state owned oil and gas companies.

So while American youths are being killed in the so-called 'war on terror', corporate interests are profiting from their blood.

3. But-But Chris Matthews Said Something Negative About Bush
Surely that means he's coming over to our side. I'm not a conspiracy guy, but I have become very cynical about how they throw us crumbs to make us think they have seen the light. I've got satellite radio now, so I'm less tempted to turn on Hardball hoping I'll hear some truth and ending up an hour later depressed.
