Is MSNBC being rewarded for having supported Obama? That's what Jim Pinkerton suggests. On this evening's Fox News Watch, the columnist and New America Foundation fellow cited the news that GE Capital, a subsidiary of MSNBC's parent company GE, has received a $139 billion government loan guarantee.
This evening's show opened with a clip of Chris Matthews [in a story that NB was first to report], saying that he saw as his "job" making the Obama presidency a success. Pinkerton unloaded.

Now we know why the MSNBC hacks were so in the tank for Hussein. Selling out their country to protect their jobs.
May they all burn in hell!

Wow - Jim’s not slouch...kinda old school journalist. If a straight line relationship can be established, it would be clear evidence that the election was manipulated.

Severin was just talking about how Gitmo detainees are likely to be released from Guantanamo, cannot return home will be tried here and then released to live here in the US. Absolutely shocking. Sick.

So wouldn’t this be more of a Bush thing than an Obama thing?

This is just one of many reasons why the Federal GS payscale has to be IMPOSED on all the companies that get bailout money.

Well, maybe not live so long. Just publicize the date, time and location where they’ll be released. There are things that can be done.

Incredible...Good thing this is just a loan guarantee and not part of the $700B bailout or a lot of people would be upset...MSNBC rendered unto Ceaser,now to watch the Empire collapse.

Barney Frank has a bill in the works for a media bailout to failed MSM outlets such as the NYT.
Payoff to the pimpers...

Obama paid hundreds of millions of dollars to the MSM (when he bought advertising). Is it any wonder they supported him?

That's a possibility. They have to go in and out of the buildings though.
The major families in New York still have some patriotically motivated people who'd do the job for free.
No doubt NBC's executive levels understand such things and will not take the risk of having any of these guys on the premises.
