I've heard conservatives accuse networks such as NBC of trying to help liberals win elections. Thing is, NBC is owned by GE, and General Electric's chairman (Jeffrey Immelt) contributed to:

1.) John McCain's campaign in 02/25/2008

2.) George W. Bush's campaign on 09/17/2004 (before the 2004 Nov election)

3.) George W. Bush's campaign on 10/18/1999 (prior to the 2000 election)
According to the Federal Election Committee.

Y would a company such as GE that's out to MAKE MONEY give so much in contributions to the GOP, but allow their own network (NBC) to exclusively help democrats?

Is there a monolithic liberal media that unlike other industries does not care to make profit, but only wishes to help the dems convert the public into liberal lemmings (followers).
Or
Is this so called conspiracy theory really a case of conservatives playing the victim card in order to garner suspicion of foul play among the public whenever their guy gets bad press?


Furthermore, I've even heard some conservatives claim that most Newspapers, Universities and magazines (around the world) are part of a liberal conspiracy. Wouldn't the easiest way to control public opinion be to discredit all sources, but those that agree with your own viewpoint??

That's what dictators have always done as a means of social control.

Opinions???
