This is my take from reading between the lines.
Stimulus Plan dependent GE has told broadcast employees to tone down the anti-Obama rhetoric.
From the New York Post:
" THE top suits and some of the on-air talent at CNBC were recently ordered to a top-secret meeting with General Electric CEO Jeffrey Immelt and NBC Universal President Jeff Zucker to discuss whether they've turned into the President Obama-bashing network, Page Six has learned.
"It was an intensive, three-hour dinner at 30 Rock which Zucker himself was behind," a source familiar with the powwow told us. "There was a long discussion about whether CNBC has become too conservative and is beating up on Obama too much. There's great concern that CNBC is now the anti-Obama network. The whole meeting was really kind of creepy."
From the Jagged Edge:
"Immelt serves on President Obama's Economic Recovery Advisory Board and his company stands to reap hundreds of billions of dollars in benefits from Obama's recently passed stimulus package, and that's in addition to the $140 billion in federal bailout money GE has received already."
Macke was told to tone it down or take a walk. So he's walking. My guess is he'll wind up with my buddy from high school, Eric Bolling.
I wish a painful death for Immelt and GE.
:eek:
