My guess would be that there was some kind of financial transcation involved...

Long time, now.

By next year, GE owns everything.

"Take a close look at the track record of this company, and you'll see that we've gambled in markets traditionally regarded as non-profit: hospitals, prisons, space exploration. I say good business is where you find it," — Richard Jones, Chairman, OCP

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Strike, your OP is backwards. If you want the same level of respectability as Tribesman, you need to post a link with no commentary. There is a hint of commentary in the OP and no link. :no:

Keep trying though. ~:pat:

Here's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assets_owned_by_General_Electric) a wikipedia-reported list of companies owned in whole or in part, by GE. I remember reading one of the odd co-incidences of 9-11 being: the engines of the airplanes used were made by GE. GE was a major holder of the lease of the Twin Towers. GE was the primary insurer and re-insurer of the Twin Towers, as well as the primary insurer of American Airlines, and the earliest report of trouble was made by MSNBC.

Weird, eh?

Well this is news to me.

How did this even happen?Of course, the real question is, how come the French media group Vivendi came to own such a large stake in MSNBC, thereby bringing truth and the liberal way into American homes?

I hear GE have put in a bid to become a majority shareholder in this thread.

The show 30 Rock pokes fun at this fact a lot.

Strike, thank you for volunteering to demonstrate why starting threads with no content is a bad thing. It was a selfless act, typical of the considerate and noble Texan.

Job done, I think. You can go back you your usual verbose style full of closely-argued and impeccably logical premises.
