Confirmed: GE CEO Immelt Scolded NBC Journalists For Reporting Negatively on Obama
Gateway Pundit ^ | 8-10-10 | Jim Hoft

This is criminal…

FOX Business Channel’s Charles Gasparino told Bill O’Reilly tonight that GE CEO Jeffrey Immelt gathered the CNBC reporters together in early 2009 and scolded them for reporting negatively on Barack Obama. GE owns 80% of NBC Universal.

We already knew that Jeffrey Immelt was pushing non-existent global warming so that his company could benefit from cap and trade legislation. Now we know that GE’s CEO was sitting at meetings in the White House and scolding his reporters for being hard on Obama.

Don’t forget the CFL (compact florescent Lights) that must be used in a year and a half.

I have stayed clear of GE with Immelt at the helm. The man is no good.

He must have called them racists! That’s what you are if you don’t worship the messiah.

Really? Is this the same Immelt who "hit out at China and Obama," as reported in the Financial Times recently:

It’s very possible that Immelt was very pro-Obama, but then was thrown under the bus by Obama later and so Immelt turned on him.

Imelt to his so-called reporters...

“WTF is wrong with you idiots!”

“Don’t you understand WHO is actually funding your stupid paychecks?”

“Free money doesn’t grow on trees so one more time and your OUT!!”

Just another in a long and growing list (as in Journolist) of facts that PROVE the Free Press is Extinct.

I concur, how can we limit his criminal activities?

Immelt is one of the worst CEOs in the country. GE has gone nowhere since he took the helm from Jack Welch. I blame the GE Board for not canning this unimaginative incompetent years ago. I would fire the Board for not getting rid of him.

At that level people don't get fired. He'll be paid a hefty ransom to leave the company and stop doing damage.

Private company. Man has the right to set whatever editorial policy he chooses.

That IS the free press.

I just have to laugh at that. I rented a house out to very liberal friends of mine. After they moved in, the wife quit her job because she was so smart nobody could deal with her. Then they couldnt pay the rent. Then they took in a cousin’s son to help him out, still no job, still no rent. When they finally left and I had to back in and repair damages (thousands worth) every lightbulb in the place was a $6 eco friendly bulb. Isn’t that nice, saving the earth, saving your buddies, can’t support yourself. Typical liberal.

Immelt is an insult to GE. GE was a crown jewel of American industry. And Jack Welch was a great CEO of GE.

Immelt is a mental midget compared to Welch.

It isn’t just that but GE also participated in TARP through GE Capital.

Now GE Capital isn’t a bank but that didn’t stop them from getting our loot.
