This is in response to this video; Why Fox News isn't news.

MSNBC news is also opinion news like Fox News. Fox News also has regular news shows besides opinion shows.

Now here is something most people don't know.

GE the parent company of MSNBC is in bed with the whitehouse. So that means that MSNBC will do anything in their power to protect their sugar daddy, the Obama whitehouse, who will be included in a BIG PAY GOVERNMENT OFF.

MSNBC is NOT NEWS if it is corrupt and getting money from the whitehouse.

O'Reilly Claims 'Corruption': GE Using CNBC, MSNBC to Promote Cap-and-Trade for Financial Gain

It has been something that there have been rumblings about, but no one has really put the x's and o's together entirely - that General Electric (NYSE:GE) is using its media arm, NBC Universal to promote President Barack Obama's so-called progressive agenda for its own financial gain.
However, as just previewed by Amy Ridenour, Fox News Channel host Bill O'Reilly attempted to do so at the top of his April 23 "The O'Reilly Factor" broadcast during his "Talking Points Memo" segment. O'Reilly outlined how Obama has gotten support from the NBC networks both pre-election and post-election.
"Will General Electric get paid for supporting President Obama - that is the subject of this evening's Talking Points Memo," O'Reilly said. "As everybody knows, GE, which owns NBC has been very aggressive in helping Barack Obama - first supporting the president in the election and now attacking his critics."
O'Reilly pointed to the change in tone at CNBC as a specific example. Certain on-air CNBC personalities had been outspoken in criticizing Obama's economic policies. However, that has changed somewhat and according to O'Reilly, CNBC Chicago Mercantile Exchange reporter Rick Santelli - the inspiration for the recent Tax Day tea party protests - had said he had been sent to a "reeducation camp."
"There is also emerging evidence that GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt and NBC News chief Jeff Zucker told CNBC personnel to stop criticizing Obama's economic policies," O'Reilly said. "Now, that would be a major breach of journalistic ethics. In fact, Obama critic Rick Santelli is reported to have said he was sent to a quote, reeducation camp,' by NBC. In addition, the hateful MSNBC network continues to air vicious attacks every day."
O'Reilly played a clip from MSNBC' "Countdown with Keith Olbermann" on April 16, when Janeane Garofalo, in a hateful tirade, called Tax Day tea party protest participants "nothing but a bunch of teabagging rednecks."
"Well, this week Jeff Immelt met with GE stockholders in Florida and there was near revolt," O'Reilly continued. "That's no surprise, as also this week Forbes magazine labeled Immelt one of the worst-performing CEOs in the country."
O'Reilly also played the exchange between his producer Jesse Watters and Jeffrey Immelt at the April 22 shareholders' meeting, where he questioned the ethics of MSNBC. But, according to O'Reilly there is reason to believe the slant of MSNBC is allowed because GE stands to profit if Obama is successful in instituting his priorities, specifically cap-and-trade.
"Now, most CEOs would have stopped NBC's corruption a long time ago, but Immelt may be looking for a major payoff," O'Reilly said. "According to reporting by the Washington Examiner, GE is heavily lobbying the Obama administration for bailout money. The company is also pushing for the proposed cap-and-trade program. Apparently GE has set up a joint venture it hopes would manage billions of dollars in cap-and-trade transactions should that corporate carbon tax pass Congress."
NBC has been actively promoting green issues and this revelation by O'Reilly happens to fall during the NBC Universal networks "Green is Universal" week.

"This is obviously a major story - when a powerful corporation, which controls a major part of the American media, may be using its power and the airwaves to influence politics, in order to make money from government contracts," O'Reilly said. "That kind of corruption would make Watergate look small. We hope it is not true."

  • The problem with Fox so called "news" isn't that it's OBVIOUS extreme right wing bias. The problem with Fox so called "news" is that they often do NOT report on the FACTS and distort the facts to support their ultra-conservative agenda at any cost. The FACT that Fox News viewers have proven to be most uninformed is proof enough. Want more "proof"? Outfoxed; News Hounds; The Onion; media matters; etc.. Proof is EVERYWHERE. Fox News is a JOKE

  • @ Kaniela6759 : Opinion? Negative! Fox so called news is indeed a JOKE and hence there's NO surprise that Fox News viewers have proven to be the most uninformed (by far). Fox News is NOTHING more than a far-right propaganda machine for the GOP. They are consistently caught lying / distortion the facts on a regular bases FACT. Search: "outfoxed" to learn the truth about the most scandalous so called "news" organization in modern history called: Fox News.

  • @mrcardio9r Your rant is purely opinion based without examples. Even one example would help your argument.

  • @hotfudgemoney thank you! great point!

  • @mrcardio9r you're full of shit. the reason you keep saying that is because others say it. shut you're fucking mouth and actually learn about shit before you start ranting you ignorant cunt

  • @mrcardio9r what lies?? show your proof

  • The problem with Fox so called "News" isn't that they in FACT have an ultra-conservative BIAS. The problem with Fox News is that they're consistently caught LYING / DISTORTING facts to support their Ultra-Consevative / Anti-Obama Agenda. There's a GOOD reason Fox News viewer's have proven to be the most UNINFORMED vs. ANY other network. They're ALSO commiting "consumer fraud" claiming "Fair and Balanced" / "we report you decide". Fox is indeed a SPECIAL case and should be pulled off the air.

  • I think both sides of this argument are being duped. The Liberal Left and the Radical Right. Both are getting suckered in by extreme slander-shows that serve no purpose but to gain ratings and drive advertising revenues. The more we squabble, the more money they can charge to advertisers ...and if ad revenues start to fall, they'll just throw some extreme points of view up on the screen that divide the country and batter our social character. Get wise everyone. Who's represents the middle?
