Oh goody. Another big fat conglomerate that will be too big to avoid failing us.General Electric has reached a tentative agreement to buy Vivendi’s 20 percent stake in NBC Universal for about $5.8 billion, helping clear the path to a sale of the television and movie company to Comcast, people briefed on the matter told DealBook.
But much remains to be negotiated, these people warned.

I posted earlier about Glenn Beck's and Bile O'LIElly's Tee Vee Tease. Something bad was a-comin'! I can picture each and every one of you panting and clawing at your computers, anxiously awaiting the Big Reveal. Settle down, the wait is over. Sigh of relief. Ready? Because...
...This is a "major story"! Bile-O keeps telling us that, so it must be true.
Presenting: "Obama's Watergate-- G.E.'s connection to The President!" Good lord, G.E. is the next Halliburton! Worse! It's the liberals' Halliburton! Elitist, socialist, Big Government will take over your lives! All hell is breaking loose! Scandalous:
Who knew NBC had re-education camps? Boy, that Bile-O sure can start a revolution, can't he? Are you scared? Maybe we should all go out and buy some firearms. It's our constitutional right, you know.

I've added the video and changed the blog title to reflect that. Relevant segment starts at about 4:40.
Paddy, who posted about this topic earlier, caught this tease on Fox just now. I smell a new Tea Tantrum meme coming on:
"So, then NBC/MSNBC/GE give Obama all this fawning press, then Obama gets Cap & Trade thru the Congress, not that it'll happen, but Nancy Pelosi wants it done, so then Cap and Trade gets thru Congress and Obama awards GE the contract to execute it, quid pro quo, Chicago politics, bigger than Watergate! That's what we'll be breaking exclusively tonight on the Factor."Now we have to wait for the psychotic video. I bet the Obama administration is just shaking in it's collective boots.
Beck- "We'll have some exclusive audio from this later in the hour".

Did you know that...Wait, let me look over my paranoid shoulder to make sure nobody's listening... that Keith Olbermann and Janeane Garofalo are in... Wait. I hear something.. What was that? Oh, good, it was just the cat... that Keith and Janeane are in cahoots with...General Electric?!
I knew it! I just knew it! You can't trust anyone any more! Especially all those durn librul Marxist commies like... now keep this under your hat... G.E.:
Joining O'Reilly were Fox News contributor Tobin Smith and FBN anchor Stuart Varney. Varney talked about Garofalo's comments about the tea parties on Countdown last week. "I find that shocking," he said. "There was no response to that statement from that on-air host."
Here's an O'Reilly line sure to draw attention: "They're in partnership, GE, with the Obama administration on a number of different levels, which makes it imperative that NBC News say good things, and attack critics of the administration."
::shaking fist in air:: Damn you, G.E.! Damn you!

Hey oversighters, who was overseeing this?
Wall street lawyers, investment bankers, CEOs and media executives often used corporate credit cards to pay for $2,000 an hour prostitutes, according to the madam who ran one of New York's biggest and most expensive escort services until it was busted last year.Can we take the word of a madam?
But prosecutors in the Manhattan District Attorney's office chose not to pursue any of the corporate titans, says Kristin Davis, who pleaded guilty last year to charges of running a prostitution business that used more than a hundred women.
And here we have a veritable orgy of names (pun intended):Davis provided ABC News with a print-out of her computerized client list, the same one she says that was offered to the district attorney.
The document shows Davis kept meticulous notes about her clients, their credit card numbers and mobile phone numbers.
Among the names the network says it confirmed:Kelsey seems to be on the A-List, as does that apparent CEO sentimental favorite, the ever-popular menage a trois:* a vice president of NBC Universal (owned by General Electric)
* the part owner of a Major League Baseball team who "loves Kelsey"
* the CEO of one of the country's largest private equity firms who met "Cameron" at the Peninsula Hotel
* a major New York real estate developer who, according to the list, "will come to the door wearing women's panties"
* a partner at the Wall Street law firm Cravath Swaine Moore "looking for a party girl to come fully equipped" and spent a total of $20,000
* an investment banker from Lehman Brothers who saw "Kelsey and Keely together" and later saw "Aria and Skyler at the same time"
* an investment banker at JP Morgan Securities who "loves Brooke" and spent $41,600
* an investment banker at Goldman Sachs who "only wanted all-American girls" and spent $27,000
* a managing director from Merrill Lynch who saw "Lana" using the name "Nataly"
* a managing director from Deutsche Bank "who called about seeing Nataly again"
Darn, I forgot all about it. I'm sure it was riveting.
So basically they need to rename the show "The GE/NBC/MSNBC Hour".Tom Brokaw was the first guest on today's inaugural radio show hosted by MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski, "The Joe & Mika Show."
Blogger Ron Mwangaguhunga listened:
The conversation began on the subject of Sunday's passing the torch to David Gregory. Brokaw's wife, Meredith, had some thoughts on Tom's exiting the talking heads mix. "Meredith said to me 'you are going to miss this,' and I said 'I know I am going to miss this.'"The former NBC anchor continued: "I felt just as strongly as I did when I left the Nightly News (that) it was time for a new generation to take over."
Joe & Mika also teased that Gregory and Chuck Todd would be guests in the 11amET hour. The show airs from 10am-Noon Monday-Friday on WABC Radio in News York.
