Of course he's retired, but that is exactly why he's on TV....
Doncha get it? he knows the subject inside out. He can relax and enjoy entertaining us and in the process divulge what really happens in the board meeting.
"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"
I'll be sending along a request to Cavuto to support your idea. The GE (ex?)chairman seems to be one of the brightest corporate leaders I've ever seen interviewed regularly. His insights, assuming he will at least tacitly accept the premise of liberal bias in the media, could be priceless. Cavuto's first order of business would be to lay that groundwork before proceeding, eh?

Correct. They apparently get along very well and an ambush would be inappropriate. This is afterall a business matter underdiscussion and that is what both do very well.
Regarding his acceptance of the concept of bias, I don't percieve Mr Welch as representative of the left wing. I mean afterall, he's exchairman of GE and carried more burdens than most heads of state.
I'm sure Cavuto would have no problem asking Welch about the bias of NBC News. I've often seen him ask difficult questions of his guests. But it would be interesting to see whether Welch acknowledges the bias, and how he'd respond.
True enough. If Welch is an honest guy he will accept the fact of liberal bias at the networks in particular. With that established, he could be a formidable ally in our efforts to rein in the Ministry of Information. Trouble is, how far from Fox News would an interview with him on the subject travel???

Hard to fathom ain't it?

Do you recall reading any of the threads here on FR on the term "Corporatism"? The notion is that mega companies, like GE for example, answer to nothing or no one except the bottom line. A good thing generally until corporate/government partnerships become the norm and are able to all but eliminate competiton. Now, it may be possible that Jack Welch is from the school that agrees with the concept. Corporate/government partnerships with the Ministry of Information running interference???

I don't know but think it's like stew. You put what you have in the pot and cook it. My thought is that although he is a very respected businessman, that carries no weight with Sumner Redstone or Robert Eisner.
....True enough. If Welch is an honest guy he will accept the fact of liberal bias....
Some how my gut feeling is that he is not a left winger in of the Eisner or Soros breed. I have no facts in that regard, I just assumed he was a good guy who would not stir the NBC pot.
Regarding "Corporatism", that is why I would love to hear him expound on the subject. Since we began this discussion years ago I couldn't understand why GE permitted the NBC bias. They just don't seem to go together.
Just FYI: I heard that Jack Welch and his wife Suzy will be on 60 Minutes Wednesday next week (March 30, 8PM on CBS). it's supposed to be a long, rather extensive interview.
