Seriously, point out the GE/Immelt/Obama connection at every opportunity and hammer the point home. Otherwise, boycotts are more symbolic and get silly when used at the drop of a hat. I DO like the Fresh Fields “buycott” and I hope it brings them a whole new customer demographic. Who can say, I know the health nutz have also fought a decades-long, twilight struggle against the medical/pharmaceutical/agricultural-industrial complex that continually tries to take their choices of supplements, unpasteurized dairy products and alternative treatments away. We might win some natural allies there.

Otherwise, I say, let GE pour its money down the MSNBC rathole and any advertisers dumb enough to waste their dough do likewise.

The Sponsors may not be pouring their money down a rat hole. Because MSNBC has so few viewers (and those are pathetic), the sponsors are getting cut rate prices. So MSNBC cannot be making money or very little money.

My question is this. How can the shareholders of GE put up with Immelt much longer? Why hasn't he been booted? This is where the problem is. You know MSNBC wasn't always so terrible. When they started out they were a decent Network. But someone has made a decision to appeal to the hard left and that has led to the situation we now see. Someone needs to be held accountable for this. MSNBC has pathetic ratings. Why do they persist with this format? Who is this Griffin clown who is in charge. He must answer to Immelt. How can he defend his positions? What gives?
