Did Jack Welch order NBC to call the election for Bush?
NBC is a special entity. It exists because it has the use--without charge--of the public airwaves. In return, it has been given the duty of serving the public interest. That brings with it special obligations, including the duty to earn the public's confidence by adhering to the highest standards of conduct.
I don't know if Jack Welch acted inappropriately on election night, but it's a question that's both easily answered and worth answering.
The question now is why GE/NBC won't do so, even at the risk of breaking a sworn commitment to Congress.
Hmm, let's see - one network, FOX, employed the cousin of the Republican presidentital candidate as its election coverage chief, another network, NBC, had its owner influence the call of the election. More proof that the charge of a "liberal media bias" is no more than a myth ...
