How biased is MSNBC?

"How biased on they?"

Well, they are soooo biased that in a segment on health care they showed a few clips of people talking with a doctor or getting some sort of treatment including the closing shot, a long clip, of someone getting an MRI in that huge machine...which had to giant letters on it

GE







GE owns MSNBC

To add further: Look at the recent withdrawal of the missile defense in Poland. The implications to that was GE being able to do business with Russia.

Ah... Good call SS:

Obama helps strengthen General Electric-Putin ties | Washington Examiner

Quote:
Reuters reports an interesting nugget in the wake of President Barack Obama's decision to grant Vladimir Putin his wish and kill the Eastern European missile shield:

Shortly after the pullback on the shield programme was announced, Russia's government said Prime Minister Vladimir Putin would meet several U.S. executives on Friday from firms including General Electric, Morgan Stanley as well as TPG, one of the world's largest private equity firms

General Electric may be the company with the closest ties to the Obama administration (if not, GE is second only to Goldman Sachs), and here we see the company benefiting from an abrupt foreign policy change made by President Obama. But GE isn't the only company benefiting. Reuters paints the broader picture:

"U.S. companies have arguably lost out to some European companies in joint ventures, and better diplomacy will likely improve the chances for investors in the strategic sectors of the Russian economy," said Carlo Gallo, senior Russia analyst at London-based consultancy Control Risks.

GE CEO Jeff Immelt sits on Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board, and GE owns MSNBC, the network famously friendly to Obama.

So, the insinuation here is another Halliburton. Set up a circumstance where his big business cronies can cash in.
