Follow the Money

The focus on global warming has been championed by NBC (and CNBC and MSNBC) more than any other news outlet. One MSNBC program decried that it was "unpatriotic" to question global warming and man's role in it.

Why the intensity of belief from an organization supposedly committed to considering all possibilities in a neutral fashion? The answer now, as in the days of Watergate, is "follow the money".

NBC is owned by GE.

And, simply put, GE profits from global warming.

You can visit the GE web site to confirm these facts. For example, the corporate giant is a prome mover in the U.S. Climate Action Partnership, and the web site touts the following:

Through our partnership with USCAP, we're urging the U.S. government to enact strong legislation to reduce greenhouse gases. Learn about USCAP and how GE is addressing the challenge of climate change.

Why? Look at GE's business lines while you're on the web site: environmental products, wind turbines, coal systems, energy, metering, photovoltaic modules, etc.

These products are critical. That's not the issue.

The issue is leveraging your own news networks to hype your products. That's what I call vertical integration!
