Trouble At GE Shareholders Meeting As MSNBC Bias Stirs Questions

When your network goes off the deep end of left wing bias, as GE's MSNBC cable network has, there is bound to be trouble - and a few questions raised at the annual meeting of shareholders. Notwithstanding the Fox News ambush, there were some legitimately concerned shareholders asking some legitimate questions of General Electric, which has seen MSNBC's ratings go into the tank since its darling, Barack Obama, was inaugurated. But MSNBC continues its over the top bias, and shareholders are now obviously and justifiably very concerned as to what the future holds.

And not surprisingly, the GE brass is a bit sensitive to questions from shareholders about a supposed meeting in which CNBC personnel were told to tamp down the criticism of the Obama administration:

First up was a woman asking about a reported meeting in which Immelt and NBC Uni CEO Jeff Zucker supposedly told top CNBC executives and talent to be less critical of President Obama and his policies.

Immelt acknowledged a meeting took place but said no one at CNBC was told what to say or not to say about politics.

During the woman's follow-up question, her microphone was apparently cut off. A short time later, Waters asked a question and his mic was cut, too.

"The crowd was very upset with MSNBC because of its leftward tilt," one attendee said. "Some former employees said they were embarrassed by it."
