    NBC's always had a dilemma

    It's worth pointing out that NBC, being an entity of RCA before that company's destruction by GE, always has had to deal with belonging to a major defense contractor. You would think they had figured out by now how to deal with that.

    Hmm, maybe they have.

    Another problem for NBC/MSNBC is it's continuing employment as political commentator a rather clueless, unenlightening fellow, whom, correctly, the Southern Poverty Law Center classifies as a "white nationalist". I don't know if that isn't actually more incredible than an arm of GE effectively promoting the sale of GE weapons systems; where is GE's white nationalism division?
