>And that's even assuming the CEO of GE is a conservative (I guess he is, but that isn't stopping Olbermann and Matthews from being staunch liberals.) Matthews isn't a staunch liberal. Not by any stretch. Yes, he's turned to the left for ratings lately, but in general, he's not. And yes, MSNBC has Olbermann and Maddow, but they also have three hours of Scarborough in the morning and Pat Buchanan is all over the network. Not to mention that NBC news also encompasses NBC proper as well as CNBC. -Z

Ted, > Z was one of the first to point out media ownership by conservatives. Why would he have to go to CJ for the info? I don't know if Z or CJ pointed it out first, but they do seem to get their "factoids" from each other. Maybe they frequent the same left-wing blogs. Z was the first to point it out. And he came to his conclusions independent of CJ. In any case, I have yet to see how GE, for instance, could turn NBC Universal into a conservative media outlet. And that's even assuming the CEO of GE is a conservative (I guess he is, but that isn't stopping Olbermann and Matthews from being staunch liberals.) NBC was embedded with the US Army during the war. How were we to get an independent view of the war when the media is traveling with and beholden to the military? Isn't Morning Joe primarily a conservative show? When Tucker Carlson had a show on MSNBC, it was conservative. You have a tendency to ignore the contrary evidence to your thesis.
