GE calls Fox report 'maliciously false'

[Newsjock]

General Electric Co. called a Fox News Channel report about the company supplying terrorists with material used in bombs "irresponsible and maliciously false" on Wednesday, as a feud between Fox's Bill O'Reilly and MSNBC's Keith Olbermann kept sizzling.

It was the first time that GE, the parent company of NBC News and MSNBC, had publicly responded to accusations made by O'Reilly on his Fox show.

... GE spokesman Gary Sheffer said he was surprised by the report, given O'Reilly's admission that he could not confirm GE's involvement.

GE does not do business with Corezing, and does not produce the radio frequency modules that were described in the report, he said.

1. I think we should all call GE and complain about them, as if Bill O'Reilly is telling the truth.

The only way to get one of those douchebags off the air is to make it appear he's a threat to a large, multi-national corporation and the billionaires associated with it.

6. Nevermind. Right post. Is GE only admitting to not selling/giving them the radio

frequency modules or selling/giving them ANYTHING? I'm sorry. I just don't trust GE. Or O'Reilly

8. Which is why the suggested action is even better. Because it also put GE on the

defensive.

They are funding ways to make sure their overpriced medical equipment is over bought and under used.

10. I guess the gloves are off. Might explain why Keith was going hard against Faux and O'Assh*le. n/t

I thought there was a corporate brokered truce?

11. O'Reilly is scum, end of story.

I said during the Bush administration that the republicans and their supporters are America's biggest terrorists, and i still hold this position.

13. Why don't they sue? GE's got the lawyers and money to keep it going for years.

15. GE should just buy News Corp in a hostile takeover

They have the resources, they should just do it.

17. Immelt should just buy FOX and throw the a^^holes out.

I bet he's close to doing so.

FOX has some great fanciful programs and a good infrastructure to consolidate, downsize and merge with NBC, CNBC and MSNBC. The thing would pay for itself in a couple of years - if Murdoch would only sell and leave the country.

18. Hostile takeover

Just short the hell out of News Corp stock, then buy it all before it goes belly up.
