GE: Two Companies In One

March 25, 2011 - 1:58 pm - by Ed Driscoll

At MSNBC, co-owned by GE, the anchors routinely berate conservatives and Tea Party members for wanting to see taxes cut to stimulate the economy.

Meanwhile, in the corporate offices of GE’s (Obama-crony) bosses, as Ace notes, “Gigantic US Corporation With Extensive Ties To Greedy Corporatist Republicans Obama And The Democrats Paid ZERO In Taxes Last Year.”

At the end of last year, Andrea Mitchell asked Republican Senator Judd Gregg, how he justifies a tax cut for those who don’t need it.

Presumably she’ll be asking her bosses similar questions in 3…2…1…

And just to continue this leftwing corporatist misadventure, as Doug Ross recently noted, “Crony Capitalism Digest: General Electric to Purchase Immense Fleet of Chevy Volts That Aren’t Marketable in the Real World.”

And thus we arrive at the very definition of Blair’s Law.

    The largest business segment of GE is GE Capital, basically a bank. And yeah, they were out there back in the middle of the decade helping to dig the financial hole that Obama and his fellow shovel-ready cronies are struggling to hard to dig us out of now. But, we don’t see a whole lot of blame being apportioned to Jeff Immelt (who’s been CEO of GE since 2000) even though Obama has been quick to blame the other villains – GW Bush, Republican policies, tax cuts, GW Bush, etc. Does this have anything to do with the fact that Immelt is one of Obama’s BFFs? Nah, Obama banned lobbying and all those tired, old ways of doing things when he took office. Must be a coincidence then.
