... the GE/NBC relationship is publicly known ..."
Only if you watch the financial cable channel CNBC. I doubt that it has ever been disclosed in the context of a particular news report on the NBC Network and only incidentally (out of context) on MSNBC. An honorable disclosure would attach to each news story in which GE has an interest:
"The surge has been successful, using $267 million dollars of GE equipment sold to the Pentagon for the war against the Iraq insurgency. GE, parent company to this network, made a $32 million profit providing that equipment."
That will never happen, nor will any other major network report on NBC's direct conflict of interest ... simply because they have their own investors make profits from war.
