well – thanks for covering this story.

Will Brian mention that NBC is taking heat for spiking a critical news story, or will he ignore?

you guess! :-)

SHOCKING !

I. Am. So. Surprised.

Oh. I sure it wasn’t. The normally railing against corporate America Larry O’Donnell and RM have not said one word about it.

LOL

Cause NBC = OBAMA!!

I guess since Barry makes over $250K a year, he wants to play with the Big Boys.

Strange that GE’s CEO is on Barry’s Business Council in the WH.

Kudos to you Mr. Joyella for reporting this.

A democrat Senator brought GE up on Morning Joke this morning, Mika only stated it was legal, Joe was off.

Republitarian said:
Kudos to you Mr. Joyella for reporting this.

Ditto.

Two points:

1.) Has NBC recently reported about the other major corporations that haven’t paid tax? If so then maybe there is a point here.
2.) When you hear Republicans bitch about high corporate tax rates, why are none addressing the EFFECTIVE TAX RATE paid by corporations such as GE, Exxon Mobile, Bofa etc? Is it because their mouths are full of KOCH?

Because the Dims were in charge for the last 2 years talking about THAT and your gratuitous mention of the Koch brothers is just another lib talking point. Get something new.

What else would we expect from the DCMPN (Democrat Campaign Media Posing as News)? Their job is NOT to act as journalists. Their singular job is to get Hussein Obama re-elected, and reporting the obscene profits and no taxes paid by Hussein’s pet corporation and CEO is NOT in their best interest come election time.

LETMEBECLEAR says:

That’s not just a catchy slogan. BO and their CEO practically share a toothbrush they are so close.

HPers are posting here with their TP of the Koch brothers, even though they cannot correctly pronounce their names. Watch them on TV say the name. It’s pronounced like “Coke” not like Mayor Koch.

MSNBC hit this story and hit it hard. O’Donnell did a long segment on it.

Obama handed nbc how many billions in bail-out cash?

I’m pretty sure that’s what the poster sometimes known as same2u is saying.

notsofast said:

As Mark mentioned in the post, the story was mentioned on MSNBC. He gives credit to the WaPo for that information and if you click through to the article, they single-out both Maddow and O’Donnell as the ones who reported it.

Also in response to a comment from @tatboy yesterday, I linked to the O’Donnell report. Though I did add that he used an extended clip from Jon Stewart up top as his disclaimer and he brought the GE story around to make a call for changes in the corporate tax code.

Well this goes a long way in explaining why the 0bama sheep are the most informed people in America. But, hey, we already knew that.

Yes, I just found on the net that but where was his obligatory outrage? He was the calmest I have ever seen him be- he must have been on benzos.

Russ Feingold demands Obama fire Immelt from his post as head of jobs commission.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0311/52240.html

The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife–Obama appoints a CEO to head his jobs panel, a CEO whose company outsources jobs and paid zero in taxes. And the obot posters here are okay with that and have to deflect. In other words: never mind OUR guy’s corporatist thug, what about the Koch bros.? Pathetic, when it’s the left and the libs who inveigh against corporations.

The founding fathers would be made out to be nut cases today . America is toast !
I got to the 8th grade . Own all I have .And have no debt . Including My ranch . I know it is just a matter of time before the Fed runs out of other resources and will come and take what I have . Over my Dead Body ! I love Texas . But I hate the Fed ! Everybody should ! They are crooked tyrants .

You mean spreading the wealth is un-American??? Isn’t it in the Constitution??? C’mon, sheep, help out here.

When a Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI), when asked about GE’s zero percent tax rate CNBC, he replied that the real problem is the U.S. corporate tax rate is too high.

So these RW MOFOers have no problem with GE not paying tax. They like it.

You care to show me where the left is okay with this. I mean some real evidence …. not some of that fright-wing made up accusations. Exhibit proof in you have even 1 oz of integrity.

Also note how the author cleverly only mentions NBC News to make it look like it’s all of NBC. MSNBC/CNBC both covered the story and devoted some real time to it too.

At NBC News, General Electric Tax Story Not Deemed Newsworthy

When MSNBC and CNBC get ratings that compare to NBC News, let me know.

On NBC’s flagship news program, they spiked the story. The fact that this isn’t significant to you, just shows the depths to which you’re willing to look the other way, when it means helping “your” guys.

Here is an interesting table of tax rates 0bama apparently approves of: http://www.minyanville.com/dailyfeed/general-electric-pays-shocking-corporate/

Hey HCR, tell me of any news story from any MSM that ever describes one on the left as “liberal”, “hard left”, “controversial”, or “left” or with any adjective before their D, anywhere. Have fun finding it. If they committed a crime, most times the D isn’t even in the story, and if an R committed a crime the R is in the headline, first sentence and every paragraph, usually.

Hmm, perhaps you are misunderstanding. The $14.2 billion profit figure was profit for fiscal year 2010. The NO TAX figure was for taxes PAID in 2010, which would have been for profit made in fiscal year 2009. Get it? GE would not have paid taxes on that $14.2 billion profit in 2010, because taxes are paid a year later. It’s the same as with your personal taxes: you are paying last year’s taxes this month, not this year’s. Mentioning the $0 taxes paid figure in the same sentence as the $14.2 billion profit figure is a fundamental mix-up.

———

Found this at the think progress thread. I’m no bean counter nor am I defending ge. Just found it interesting.

Government Electric’s CRONY CAPITALISM with “You Lie!” hussein really pays-off — $14. 2 BILLION IN TOTAL PROFITS, $5.1 BILLION IN US PROFITS and $0 in US TAXES.

So, lunatic-left, how’s that WEALTH REDISTRIBUTION thing working out for you?

“At NBC News, General Electric Tax Story Not Deemed Newsworthy”

To understand why that statement is true, one must understand the definition of “news” used by the “Corrupt B-tards” at the N(itwit)B(iased-socialist)C(lowns) network, where “news” means:

endless lies, distortions, misrepresentations, bs, half-truths, baseless slime attacks and propaganda that support the lunatic-left d-crat socialists presented in an hysterical, foaming-at-the-mouth, vicious, mean-spirited, false, mis-leading and totally biased manner.

Q: What’s the difference between a N(itwit)B(iased-socialist)C(lowns) network talking-head and a lunatic-left d-crat socialist politician?
A: The talking-heads can’t recklessly, irresponsibly, out-of-control spend taxpayer and Chinese communist money on pork, bailouts, unions, bonuses, socialist welfare and massive increases in the nation’s debt to destroy America.

OMG ! That makes even the talking-heads on the N(itwit)B(iased-socialist)C(lowns) network “better” than lunatic-left d-crat socialist politicians. AMAZING !

GE in America actually lost jobs, but gained jobs overseas:

Our friends at GE/CNBC can’t sell our country out fast enough as they finalize plans for a 50-50 joint venture with a Chinese military-jet maker to produce avionics, the electronic brains of aircraft. The deal with Aviation Industry Corp. of China would give GE access to a Chinese government project aimed at challenging Boeing Co. and Airbus in the civilian-aircraft market. This is 100 years of US R&D into aviation research that helped build one of the World’s greatest companies (BA) and now we are handing over, not just our jobs, but our hard-fought technology over to the Chinese because GE thinks it can squeeze a few more dollars of profit over there.

Ahhhhh, maybe you didn’t notice but the story here was posted by Mediaite , not by people on the right.

Get a mental health check-up, paid for by Obamacare, and get some reality therapy.

And you don’t believe in as hom attacks, right?
Good god have you no shame? You have a picture of an adult in a suit yet you respond like a child. That’s what I mean by no integrity.

Karen McNeil said:
Here you have it. Two gNOpig morons. One arguing the reduced tax rates for those making over $250K a year, including corporations, ought not to be labeled the “BUSH tax cuts” and the other one ADMITTING those came under Bush.

And ndanielson, the 3% extension was NOT an endorsement. It was a compromise. The gNOpigs got their “Bush tax cuts” extended, and the Democrats got unemployment benefits extension.

The larger point stands. Why would anyone in his right mind, anyone NOT MAKING over $250K a year, argue in favor of CORPORATIONS making BILLIONS and not paying TAXES. Only a demented teabagged does that.

Yes with control of the house and senate, your boy needs to compromise. LOL. Tell us more, GlennBunny!

Son, Bush left a long, long time ago.

This is 2011 not 2008.

Try again!

Did you pay attention to how and why the Bush tax cuts were extended? Who insisted nothing else would get done unless the rich kept their tax cuts? Who insisted the rich needed those cuts to create jobs? They got the cuts they demanded. Now where are the jobs?

same2u said:
t is only news because the Republicans are bitching about the high rate of corporate tax while spinning about these large corporations that pay no tax. Needless to say all their campaign contributions are paying off nicely.

For some odd reason they seem to think we would defend GE or something. I’d love it if they finally woke up and decided to join the fight. But it’s their policies that support GE/EXXON and all the other large corporations that don’t pay any taxes. Our tax dollars actually give them money in subsidies.

Karen McNeil said:
You really have to live under a rock NOT to know the Democrats NEVER had the super majority needed to just ram whatever they wanted through congress. Either you are monumentally ignorant OR you are telling lies.

Back to the point. Why are you paying taxes and yet support CORPORATIONS making BILLIONS in USA profits and NOT PAYING ANY TAXES.

And don’t play this BS about – Oh, it is G.E. and this is just Obama bribing them -

Lou Dobbs pointed that stupid argument to Billdo. It is NOT only G.E.

Hey Ellen, here is your blind leftist support. GlennBunny and his ilk. They are so outnumbered they make up names to support their own BS. LOL.

Ellen Carey Rowe said:

I would say that’s a stretch.

Yes, because integrity in the democrat party and ideal only exists on any given blog site. It does not in practice, or reality anywhere else. Liberal integrity is an oxymoron to the nth.

How many names do you post under here?

Karen McNeil said:
Billdo was braying like a stuck pig with this same story, taking it into the conspiracy theory territory, suggesting G.E. got away with it this year because G.E. donated to candidate Obama’s campaign.

Part of the NON-STORY is that these same corporations, as mentioned by Dobbs on Billdo’s show, have done it for years. So you little gNOpiggies don’t even try to blame President’ Obama as Billdo tried.

How many names do you post under here? Ellen, he has integrity, huh?

Here’s your boy’s corporate tax scheme: http://www.minyanville.com/dailyfeed/general-electric-pays-shocking-corporate/

Karen McNeil said:

And now the Supreme Court has given the green light to corporations to influence elections in an unprecedented manner by saying they have the same free speech rights as you and me, all the while the unions are being crushed by Republican representatives who are funded by the Koch Brothers.

ndanielson said:
Ellen, he has integrity, huh?

What are you going on about? Who is the “he” that I’ve said has integrity?

Ellen Carey Rowe said:
Did I say that the story is insignificant? Do you have any integrity at all?

Hmmm.. that’s the second time you’ve said I have no integrity. A pretty bold assumption for someone who hasn’t posted much on this site before. Hmmm.

Anyway, let’s take a look at what you first said:

Ellen Carey Rowe said:
Also note how the author cleverly only mentions NBC News to make it look like it’s all of NBC. MSNBC/CNBC both covered the story and devoted some real time to it too.

And my response:

ImNotBlue said:
When MSNBC and CNBC get ratings that compare to NBC News, let me know. On NBC’s flagship news program, they spiked the story. The fact that this isn’t significant to you, just shows the depths to which you’re willing to look the other way, when it means helping “your” guys.

So, in your post, you have decided that Mr. Joyella was being “clever” since he only mentioned NBC, and not the cable stations. This suggests that you think NBC is as valuable a property as MSNBC and CNBC… an idea, which I pointed out, is foolish. The fact that MSNBC and CNBC covered the story is irrelevant, when compared to the coverage offered (or more aptly, spiked) by NBC broadcast.

Your comments, both to me and to others, demonstrate that you think the cable nets coverage upheld NBC’s corporate obligation to cover news events. NBC didn’t report the story because (and this is simply logic) they didn’t feel it significant enough to report… you defend that action by saying it was on cable. Apparently you and NBC see this story’s significance in the same dim light.

Get it? Is that enough “integrity” for you? I read your words, understood what you were saying, and drew a logical and correct conclusion. If name calling is all you’ve got, I’ll assume it’s because you can’t point to anything more substantive.

ndanielson said:
How many names do you post under here?

Well, it’s clearly “Bovine” in disguise (or resurfacing after getting booted, again). Only one person uses the “gNOpig” thing (mostly because it doesn’t make sense, and nobody understands it)… and that may be on the entirety of the internet.

Why the name change, Bovine?

Shhh! These guys are friends of bho.

If it were the Koch Industries in the same situation, this would be the main topic in all of the news organizations for 10 consecutive weeks.

ImNotBlue said:

Do you have any reading comprehension? Nowhere do I state anything of the kind. I simply noted the clever use of NBC Evening News specifically. Why would I want to defend NBC/GE corporate pigs?

ImNotBlue said:
I read your words, understood what you were saying, and drew a logical and correct conclusion.

Actually what you did was project and decide an intent and meaning to me. That’s intellectually dishonest and no it’s not enough integrity for me … but it seems to be enough for you. *shame that*

LOGICandREASON said:

It’s been a topic on the left for years. I’m glad the right is finally waking up to it.

Ellen Carey Rowe said:

You’ve spent a lot of time telling me I’m wrong, yet not a lot of time telling me what you actually think… so out with it. Do you believe that NBC was wrong for ignoring the story? Why did you bring up MSNBC and CNBC at all? What was/is your point?

Ellen Carey Rowe said:

And you have yet to correct the record. Why is that?

Of course I think NBC was wrong and I’m glad MSNBC and CNBC showed the integrity NBC Nightly News didn’t.

ImNotBlue said:

What? Spend my time correcting your projections? I’m not your baby sitter. Learn to stop projecting and to respond to what was actually said.

Ellen Carey Rowe said:

Then why didn’t you say that to start with? But who was talking about MSNBC or CNBC? You didn’t respond to the topic of the thread, you created your own side comment, and never addressed (until now) the actual story. I wonder why it took this must effort to get that out of you.

What? Spend my time correcting your projections? I’m not your baby sitter. Learn to stop projecting and to respond to what was actually said.

Well, the point is you found the time to lob some personal attacks at me, yet no time to say what you really thought. That doesn’t strike you as odd? Perhaps you should address the topic of the thread first, then move on to whatever else it is you want to talk about.

ImNotBlue said:

As far as I was concerned it is a given ….

ImNotBlue said:

My comments on MSNBC and CNBC were appropriate to the article, whether you are able to see that or not.

Actually you were quite busy telling me what I thought and what I meant. And the personal attacks as you saw it were in response to that. I told you they lacked integrity.

Take responsibility for the fact that you never asked me what I thought but told me what I thought. As soon as you did finally ask, I answered. See how that works?

Your thoughts are a given.

Dude, you got some serious issues. Maybe you should take up pottery or something.

wtf?

Take it up with Barrack, he’s the one that let ‘em slide. Btw, I don’t think you have any room to be calling someone else demented. Just sayin.

Why is it that Bush was held accountable for everything by the democrats yet they hold Barrack accountable for nothing? Bush was blamed for Katrina, he was blamed for 9/11, he was blamed for gas prices, etc. Worse things have happened under Barrack and the democrats still try to blame the republicans. Mind boggling.

He does that a lot. Consider it a “badge of honor” bestowed by a badgerer.

Yeah, almost a decade of Republican sweetheart tax deals had NO effect on giveaways to Big Money. Sheesh!

Obama had to extend the Bush tax giveaways on order to get the Repubs to agree to extending unemployment benefits for needful Americans, among other things. It’s not the first time a politician had to make a deal with the devil(s) – especially when the devils are Republicans in the pocket of the Big Money and don’t give a damn about their fellow citizens.

In fairness, some “conservaDems” were no damned help. either.

“Bush was blamed for Katrina, he was blamed for 9/11, he was blamed for gas prices, etc. Worse things have happened under Barrack and the democrats . . . ”

Worse than Katrina? 9/11? What the HELL do you consider “worse”?

- Republicans in the pocket of Big Money -

Don’t be so naive. They’re all in the pocket of big money.

Well… seeing as now it was about NBC, no they weren’t. Explain why is it relevant?

Take responsibility for the fact that you never asked me what I thought but told me what I thought. As soon as you did finally ask, I answered. See how that works?

Perhaps next time, you should work on staying on topic… or at the very least, connecting your ideas with that of the thread. And then, I won’t have to try to decipher what you’re talking about. Honestly, it’s not my fault you don’t speak clearly. Sorry.

Karen McNeil said:
blah blah blah

So, are you saying you’re not Bovine… or are you saying you ARE Bovine, but changing your name isn’t a big deal?

Oh, as for the “gNOpig” thing… do a Google search. It’s only one person who uses it (and responses to that person). It doesn’t make sense, except to Bovine. Soooo, knowing it’s you isn’t terribly difficult.

jrcmi said:

Speak. Clearly.

Frankly, it really comes down to me understanding what you’re actually saying… versus what you want other to BELIEVE you’re saying.

Obama had to extend the Bush tax giveaways on order to get the Repubs to agree to extending unemployment benefits for needful Americans, among other things. It’s not the first time a politician had to make a deal with the devil(s) – especially when the devils are Republicans in the pocket of the Big Money and don’t give a damn about their fellow citizens.

That’s funny… Obama sure did have a lot of positive things to say about that deal. I guess by “dealing with the Devil” you mean, “Agreeing with the Devil.” HE said it would be a positive thing, not that he HAD to go along with it. Why do you think that is?

ImNotBlue said:
Why would you think that?

Why wouldn’t I?

ImNotBlue said:
Well… seeing as now it was about NBC, no they weren’t. Explain why is it relevant?

MSNBC and CNBC are NBC. That is why I made the distinction that the author had to use NBC Nightly News rather than just NBC. He couldn’t say simply NBC because that would be dishonest.

ImNotBlue said:

What I said was very much on topic to the article. Whether you are too dense to realize it or just being argumentative I can’t say but you’ll have to play the victim with someone else. I’m satisfied that I’ve been quite clear and on topic.

There was a time when NBC NEWS was a proud professional organization what is going to be interesting to watch is how they handle move on.org one of their favs , as they call for obammy, another fav, to dump immelt from obammys business council. Time for Roberts, comcast, to step in and splain to them what a MINORITY ownership position means.

Gee, I feel sorry for the crew at NBC. They are running around in circles not knowing what to say about what to whom. Poor things,why don’t they just run a news story ????

same2u said:
Two points:

1.) Has NBC recently reported about the other major corporations that haven’t paid tax? If so then maybe there is a point here.
2.) When you hear Republicans bitch about high corporate tax rates, why are none addressing the EFFECTIVE TAX RATE paid by corporations such as GE, Exxon Mobile, Bofa etc? Is it because their mouths are full of KOCH?

Sorry you missed it,GE didn’t pay the tax you said it did.THATS the story.
