3-2-1 say it with me: CORRUPTION. See how it works. Parent company GE which owns NBC and MSNBC shamelessly repeats what it's told by the administration and gets rewarded for its good behavior.
Unlike other major lenders participating in the debt guarantee program, including Bank of America, Citigroup and J.P. Morgan Chase, GE has never been subject to the Fed's stress tests or its rules for limiting risk. Also unlike firms that have received bailout money in the Troubled Assets Relief Program, or TARP, GE is not subject to restrictions such as limits on executive compensation.
So we now have the government targeting executives at these bailed-out banks, but GE, home of the network that shamelessly propagandizes for Obama and the Democrats, and even receives talking points from them while on the air, is exempt.
Welcome my dears to Obama's America. Handicap capitalists and reward your cronies. Kind of like how non-unions cannot bid on stimulus projects. Am I the only person seeing a trend? Sickening.
