Hi Neil .
I am a sometime viewer who cant see you regularly at 4:00, but do watch when able. I realized recently that you commonly do something I would love to do .have a chat with Jack Welch.
I have spent considerable time online over the last 4 years cussing and discussing the various elements of mainstream media bias, especially in the 3 broadcast networks. The discussions almost always end in wonderment as to why the various corporate individuals, the Chairman , the CEOs and the board members condone the bias in the news organizations owned by their corporations. What motivates the decision makers to support the bias .. is it money? Is it because they favor the leftist positions?
Jack Welch knows what went on with NBC News and within the GE Board room. Ive seen you interview him and know you have a rapport that might allow discussion in a frank manner.
Perhaps the next time you chat with him you could ask about corporations, networks and bias. Believe me, there are lots of people who want to know what Jack will say.
The General Electric Co is perhaps the largest of manufacturing corporations. Its officers and board must be respected because they are obviously among the best of the best. And yet, they allow NBC News and MSNBC to take very partisan and left ideological positions on a constant basis. Katie Couric and Matt Lauer on the Today show are blatant in their ideological fervor. Katie goes so far as to wear black on bad days to emphasize her distress with bad news
I would love to hear Jack Welch describe the reasoning behind GE allowing Katie and Matt free reign.
I dont advocate a hardboiled adversarial interview, but rather a discussion among friends of the issues involved with corporations and bias. If you decide to conduct such a discussion, please let me know beforehand. I know several thousand who will want to watch. It would be a great story and a great public service.
I hope he reads and responds to your excellent letter. I've had similar thoughts and often wonder what Jack Welch must REALLY think about GE's position in the crap produced on NBC/MSNBC.
I sent the email to cavuto@foxnews.com
He might respond to a popular request by a few more who might like to see the media bias question put to Jack Welch.
I know we have discussed the subject of corporate involvement in media bias to death but I would really like to hear Jack Welch's thoughts on the subject. Neil has him on pretty often, as a matter of fact Jack's a regular on My World. The suggestion for a discussion of corporations, bias, money, customer relations, board member politics seems in order to me.
It's pretty easy to do, just click the address above and ask.
Well, you are more than welcome to join in. Send Neil a nice note at cavuto@foxnews.com
Be sure to ask him to let us know so we can be sure to watch.
The Leftist bias of the MSM is amazing and really harmful to the country.
No, of course not, but the Left is so screwed up and irresponsible that Leftists actually believe that media bias against conservatives is not only accpetable but mandatory.
I thought Olbermann was great on Sportscenter in the eighties. I've never watched his show, but based on what I have read about him, he must be a total nut.
I think they absolute worst thing about the MSM is that they have power but ZERO accountability. Look at what that Leftist shill Rather has gotten away with over the years.
Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING
I only got part of the ping list..... perhaps some one can ping the others.
Write Neil a note, ask him to have Jack on to address the question of accountability.
Be nice....
It's easy..... Cavuto@foxnews.com
So that's why I have the sense of rolling eyes when I post the same questions. Thanks for the great thread, bert. Ping me if/when you get a response? Thanks.
Excellent Post!!
And I'd trust Neil to strike just the right tone as well.
...This is actually more plausible than it sounds...
I won't really argue the point, especially with regard to MSNBC, but TODAY is a little different.
Neverthe less, I would like to hear what the man has to say in a candid hashing of the various points at hand.
He likes to be on TV and this is a chance for knowledgeable face time.
In addition to the blatant bias in their daily "news" broadcasts, what about that embedded NBC "journalist," Kevin Sites. Remember him? He's the guy who videotaped one of our US Marines (justifiably) killing an enemy combatant, and then Sites--or one of his colleagues--turned the tape over to Al Jazeera (before it was aired by NBC) to be used as anti-US propaganda. As far as I'm concerned, that's treason! Sites, and any other US citizens involved in this betrayal, should be summarily tried and executed.
As for Mr. Cavuto, the next time he's chatting with Mr. Walsh, he can tell him that I, and thousands of other Americans, will NOT be buying any more GE products. Period!
Send him a little note....
I'm supposed to mellow as I grow older.
THAT AINT HAPPENING! (especially when treason's in season.....and it's been a LONG LONG season)
