More on that GE Shareholders’ Meeting.

by Little Miss Attila on April 23, 2009

It looks like though some of the questioners were within their rights as shareholders, a few of them had a conflict of interest, inasmuch as they get their paychecks from Fox (a sort of competitor to MSNBC, in the way that a buffalo is a competitor to a fly).

What I’d be interested in, however, is:

1) How many of those who expressed concern about MSNBC’s (and CNBC’, and NBC’s) leftward tilt had ties to Fox News, and

2) How much of the concern displayed at the shareholders’ meeting had to do with Crimes Against Truth (e.g., Janeane Garofalo’s analysis of right-wing neurobiology), versus the financial mismanagement at GE, and

3) To what degree would this have happened if O’Reilly had not run his hit piece on GE management a few days earlier? [A large number would not mean that the concerns were illegitimate, but would certainly be interesting to know.]
