in fact, "talent" (a writer), you might consider that a few of us actually know some of the people that your bosses bosses bosses (...) boss answer to.

Let me put it this way, examine the GE prospectus and calculate how much revenue it derives from its multitude of defense, finance, and other governmental interests, and then compare that number to the revenue generated by its media interests. Do you really believe that it would threaten its real money makers in any way, to gain a few Nielsen or Arbitron points?

Or how about this, if Jeff Immelt and Bob Wright are both attending the same meeting, who do you think sits in the big chair at the end of the table?

I'm not trying to start anything, but it seems you were going toward the old "media is just a business and they will go/say/do whatever/wherever the most $$ is" meme. Was I wrong? If so, I apologize.
