NBC is at the top of a bailout, not to worry, thois has all been “worked out”

[Eagles2003]

I’ve been wishing they’d sell that NBC crap for years, but it actually does make money.

It’s a relic they acquired when they bought RCA.

[Seruzawa]

The company is still profitable. So what’s the problem? Why would a profit making company need a bailout?

With news like this, remember, it's always wise to pass the word:

Obomba's fault.

Not to worry, Generalissimo Electrico is in the process of ‘Rebranding” NBC — and they’ve hired a NYC company named Naked Communication to accomplish this herculean task. I am not making this up!

GE and the NY Times ... coincidence?

That sent a Tingle up my leg. Good riddance NBDNC.

I think GE may shed itself of NBC Universal within the next year or so and concentrate on its infrastructure business. With the new emphasis on "green" energy and the fact the GE Energy division of the company is one of the biggest investors on Earth for these new technologies, GE could be on the rebound as they build solar power systems for installation all over the southwestern USA and large-scale wind turbines for installation in the US Midwest.

Indeed, as the "green" energy movement accelerates people will rely more and more on GE to build tomorrow's energy infrastructure--after all, GE is perhaps the biggest company involved in the energy industry and their expertise on building electrical grids is probably second to none. I expect GE to be heavily involved in fuel-cell and ultracapacitor technologies, tidal power generation, and may even take an interest in very exotic forms of power generation as that becomes viable (e.g., solar power satellites).

Put out your hand to the gov’ment and say “Please,” GE.

How’s that Green Technology investment thing working out? Hmmm, Bernie Madoff scam collapses, the Global Warming Hoax is springing a leak and with a sucky economy, only the elites want more investment in the “environment”. Suddenly, other priorities are more important. Hell, even the Icelanders are rioting ... in friggin’ January.

[Mariner]

Over $3bil in profit on over $40bil in revenue...for the quarter.

Actually, not bad considering this economy.

I'm wonderin' why the stock dropped so much today.
