Has General Electric's news division at MSNBC officially announced its unequivocal support for the far-left in this nation while abandoning what little remains of its journalistic integrity?
Before answering, consider that during Monday's "Countdown," a new GOP logo, created for the perilously liberal website Daily Kos, was used in a hit piece thoroughly disparaging the Republican Party.
Is this really what the good folks at GE think qualifies as journalism (video embedded below the fold, h/t Johnny Dollar):
Take a look at the still shot above. Then, examine the GOP "logo" next to the word "Grand," and that in the teaser. Recognize the similarity?
Those thinking this is a coincidence are advised to read a Daily Kos post Tuesday bragging about the use of this new logo.
Honestly, is channeling the vitriol spewed by one of the nation's most left-leaning websites what qualifies as journalism at General Electric today?

GE has no shame, but I am not worried
May 5, 2009 - 21:36 ET by jondelwicheas political fortunes change quickly, seeing the Dems were big minorities just a few years back......say 8/2006
and many annoying news outlets are going out of business :o)
Well Noel.. MSNBC should use the official NBC logo..

It's not fair because
May 5, 2009 - 21:58 ET by MidAmericaIt's not fair. We can't parody the democrat logo because it's already an ass.
Braying Jackass Logo
May 5, 2009 - 22:32 ET by Forest for the TreesMidAmerica,
How about changing their donkey into to the big loud-mouthed braying jackass version on the front end, and a pile of donkey manure on the backend...I think that depicts them accurately!
or maybe we could steal
May 5, 2009 - 22:47 ET by MidAmericaor maybe we could steal their logo and then they can kiss their ass goodby.....

GE & MessNBC's values are plummeting
May 5, 2009 - 22:48 ET by OxyConYou'd think they'd notice a pattern, that the more they align with radical, far left hatesites, the less money they are worth.
Shouldn't GE's shareholders be concerned with the company's radical leftward turn, and how that is destroying shareholder wealth?
One Percent Audience (sort of)
May 6, 2009 - 07:15 ET by Red JeepOn Friday night, May 1, the total viewership of MSNBC's 4 evening political shows, assuming a completely different group of people watched each show, (unlikely), was ONE percent of America.
Do you GE shareholders still want to pay millions to the 4 hosts of these shows? Running crime documentaries like MSNBC does on weekends, 5-11 PM weekdays would be far less expensive.
These are the latest talking points
May 5, 2009 - 23:06 ET by Lord ErondFirst it was "Paint Rush Limbaugh as the leader of the Republican Party"
Now it's "The GOP is over"

Who Put The "MS" In MSNBC?

Shouldn't Microsoft (the "MS" in MSNBC) be held to account, too?
Microsoft owns 18% of MSNBC.

Your da** right, and if 5000 layoffs at MS means anything, it means many of us in America knows of the connection, and snicker as everything ankle grabbing liberal in American business falls apart at the seams,
especially at the lowlife big three, GE, MS and NBC....

I would like to pass on to
May 6, 2009 - 00:37 ET by Clear thinkerI would like to pass on to the folks at MSNBC that something even funnier has hit the culture world of things that make people laugh. Over the last few months I have noticed a trend among mostly well educated common sense types, and it's getting more popular with each passing day... It seems that any conversation that includes the company name of "MSNBC News" brings an immediate giggle from all involved in the conversation.
So MSNBC, congratulations, you have become the laughing-stock of cable TV news!

Considering some of the competition, that's no easy feat! Ironic that they made it their mission to get FoxNews that label.

Attacking Palins physical appearance?
May 6, 2009 - 09:02 ET by RM48The media just loves a rupublican vs. republican fight, and when there isnt one there they will just make one up!
Palin
May 6, 2009 - 09:07 ET by JimboThe fact that Palin is giving liberals fits after a defeat in the Presidential election and the next election almost 4 years away tells me that she is a force to be reckoned with.
For the most part, they've got the GOP pegged...
May 6, 2009 - 09:40 ET by ThalpyFor the most part, they've got the GOP pegged. Now the GOP must turn that herbivore into some formidable carnivore like the T-Rex. Even though there is much discussion as to whether it was a scavenger or predator, either would be appropriate in dealing with Democrats.
The democraps were crowing
May 6, 2009 - 10:09 ET by eaglewingz08The democraps were crowing in 1960 and 1964 that the age of Republicans was vanished in the dustbin of history. Then they got a big tax and spender in LBJ, and suddenly that conventional wisdom didn't quite turn out as true and seven of the next ten presidents were CONSERVATIVE republicans.

May 6, 2009 - 10:14 ET by AgnosticFor my own edification can you please tell me the names of those Conservative Republicans? Most of the ones I count are slightly right of JFK.

May 7, 2009 - 00:05 ET by RR GOPSince the U.S. body count has gone down drastically in Iraq I guess DKos has lost most of their relevence with even the Libtard Left, eh?
