As for writing PMSNBC, that's no longer an issue for me, since I haven't subscribed to cable since 2006. I got fed up with subsidizing Liberal crap and getting raped in the pocketbook for nearly $50 per month.

I still have satellite (we live in the mountains) because I can get the Cartoon Channels. Much more entertaining and informative than the news channels. While we are complaining about MSNBC has anybody noticed that Faux is becoming more of an entertainment news channel? That is except for Brit and Megan.

The ONLY reason they are doing this is because it backfired on them big time.

If Bambi was UP in the polls, they’d keep those boys right where they are.

No best of anything on that station.

They’re all losers and that includes Brokaw.

MSNBC IS numero uno in the comatose patient and conspiracy theory, tinfoil hat wearing lunatic demographic

Here is my e-mail to the three individuals you have in your post:

“As a stockholder (held in a contributory IRA with Charles Schwab) I wish to express my displeasure, no, my disgust that General Electric would allow one of its divisions to daily publish such irrational garbage as is being done by Keith Olberman and Chris Matthews on MSNBC. I will staunchly defend the right of anybody to speak their mind on any subject but to use the airwaves via MSNBC and under the support of General Electric for such outlandish remarks and comments goes beyond the pale of decency and corporate reponsibility.

I would think that basic business economics would show that the decline in ratings for MSNBC (now at the bottom of the heap) is indicative that the message being spouted by this two is not acceptable to the general public. I must say that I am sorry that I did not investigate the holdings of General Electric at the time I purchased the shares. If I had I would never have bought them Now I am thinking of disposing them, even at a loss, in order to say in my own small fashion that I disapprove of your corporate policies and want no part of it.”

David Gregory, though not as obnoxious as Matthews or Olbermann, is still a lousy choice given his smarmy attitude towards Republicans. If NBC wanted to anything to salvage this mess, they'd have Brian Williams and Tom Brokaw as co anchors on Election Day.

Brokaw and Williams were disgusting in their convention coverage, right there with Olbermann. Gregory was the best of the bunch. Yeah, they all have long records, but Brokaw/Williams? More dreck.

A Brokaw edict?

Whatever you think of Brokaw, he is a professional.

I'm sure he is thoroughly disgusted with his colleague. Their behavior is borderline psychotic and demeaning to their profession

I betcha Brokaw is pissed

Olbermann can rest assured that the Towers would probably still be standing if liberals and "reporters" were not keeping LEA from stopping terrorists.

Perhaps the navel-gazers at NBC see 0bama going into the toilet. If they didn't move back to the middle they'd be ostracized from a Republican Administration.

Or, as libtards always say: "I question the timing of this."

Please be gentle on GE. I have stock in it (mainly because of their wind energy sections). Whatever happened to the support MicroSoft was giving to NBC in floating this abomination? I thought they were pulling their contribution to it.

Ha-Ha. I got out last year @ $38.

Let’s just say NBC, as well all now know is DRECK...even Tim Russert (God rest his soul) couldn’t save this sinking ship of a network.

Whoops, look what I found!

It’s a bunch of ANALYSTS who cover GE stock (they work at various banks). Maybe we should tell them why folks are dumping GE stock? “cc” them on your Emails to GE.
