GE's Bailout and Olbermann (give back YOUR bonus, Keith)
National Review | 04/29 10:36 AM | [Greg Pollowitz]


Just saw this on U.S. News & World Report. There's a new petition asking Keith Olbermann to give back his extra $3.5 million in compensation, in light of the fact that GE is taking bailout funds:

While General Electric, the parent-company of your MSNBC network, was negotiating a $126 billion taxpayer-funded bailout, you signed a new contract raising your salary from $4 million to $7.5 million annually. You have used your show as a platform to call for the resignation of corporate executives accepting excessive bonuses on the backs of taxpayers who are picking up the tab for these atrocious bailouts, yet you yourself have no problem engaging in the same "class economic rape" that you access them of.

Sign petition: GIVE IT BACK, OBAMAMERMAN!!

WOW, $7.5 million annually for someone to spend one (1) hour of TV time per day "trashing" Fox News ....... and nothing to show for their effort.

The Corporate owners and/or advertisers must really need big tax write-offs or are benefitting from Obama/Democrat contracts and/or Stimulus monies,
