Naturally MSBNC was nowhere near this story.

Just before GE board members were re-elected, shareholders asked about 10 questions of a mostly political nature concerning the viewpoints of MSNBC and CNBC, according to attendees.

First up was a woman asking about a reported meeting in which Immelt and NBC Uni CEO Jeff Zucker supposedly told top CNBC executives and talent to be less critical of President Obama and his policies.

Immelt acknowledged a meeting took place but said no one at CNBC was told what to say or not say about politics.

During the woman’s follow-up question, her microphone was cut off. Later, during the umpteenth question about MSNBC, another shareholder’s microphone was cut, according to multiple attendees.

“The crowd was very upset with MSNBC because of its leftward tilt,” one attendee said. “Some former employees said they were embarrassed by it.”

One specific complaint about MSNBC concerned Keith Olbermann’s interview of actress Janeane Garofalo, who likened conservatives to racists and spoke of “the limbic brain inside a right-winger.”

“They were upset that Olbermann didn’t bother to challenge her,” one GE shareholder said.

Shareholders should be upset but not naive.  Olbermann’s leftist leaning agenda isn’t quite news so the fact that he never once challenged  Socielite zombie, Janeane Garofalo, is par for the course. 

MSNBC and the other media elite have shown nothing but disdain for the average working Americans who keep this country running, fight it’s wars, barely take enough pay home to make ends meet, and now face uncertain economic times.  In light of the circumstances you would think these seven-figure salary pundits could feign some empathy for one day when these red, white and blue Americans rally to peacefully express their opposition to increased government spending subsidized by their tax dollars.  But that is too much for us mere peons to ask from the socially righteous champions of their own interests especially when they have 24hrs to report how contemptible they find us.

Instead these Americans were treated to demeaning sexual jokes, called racist rednecks too ignorant or neurological incapable of understanding taxation, and portrayed as tools of the right-wing by the dear leaders of the media elite less interested in honest reporting than deciding what is news.

Frankly, I ‘m glad that these Socielites are unhinged by 250,000 average Americans putting aside geography, socio-economic class, race, and political party to come together as Americans.  I’m glad that despite their average limbic brains, these Socielites can’t help but show their contempt, fear, and anger for the common working American.  I’m glad that these titans of teleprompters are unable to resist the warm glow of electronic scrolling print and come off sounding like a chorus of zombie seals barking the same nonsense.   I’m glad that the best these Socielites can do is project their own miserable qualities onto Americans in order to make themselves feel better.

And I’m glad Americans are starting to say enough is enough.

Janeane Garofalo appeared on Countdown with Keith Olbermann to provide her perspective on the Tea Parties that occurred across the nation on April 15, 2009.

Finally a clear and honest opinion from the Socielites!  While some of the media elite desperately cling to the hope that if they cram their gratuitous tea-bagging shtick down the public’s throat long enough, people will become more receptive to their other debasing ideas. Garofalo’s reaction, on the other hand, is uncensored yet crystallized.  Garofalo has never been a funny “ha-ha” kind of gal, she’s never been one for telling jokes… that’s just not her strong suit.  Garofalo gives her raw perspective on issues and either you get it or you don’t.

Clearly Olbermann gets her.  I mean he doesn’t even challenge her once.  Frankly, it’s as though he invited Garofalo onto Countdown just to commiserate over the Tea Parties and its participants.  Why?  The media elite have been trivializing these Tea Parties for weeks now.  Why still dwell on the inconsequential now that they are over?  Because they are scared to death. 

The Socielites didn’t create this powerful movement… they didn’t control the people and they didn’t control the message.  This wasn’t a staged protest organized and funded by the usual suspects.  This wasn’t an opportunity to express the typical liberal talking points.  The idea that regular Americans found a common bond stronger than geography, socio-economic class, gender, race, or political affiliation is frightening to a group that relies on pitting Americans against one another along these very lines.  The fact that over 250,000 red, white, and blue Americans across the nation said enough is enough with giving up their rights and money to fund another socialist amusement park destined to fail like the rest is antithetical to their very core.

So Garofalo’s reaction is completely rational for a group that has finally secured its hands around the neck of America and is now threatened by a counter-movement that defies political party.  However, unable or unwilling to accept this “game-changer” she has nothing to offer but the same irrational liberal arguments.  Her interview is what, 5 minutes long?  In that short time she manages to tie-in the right-wing conspiracy, anti-government sentiment, immigration, a dumbed-down segment of society prone to disinformation and violence, and mental disorder all wrapped within the context of racism.  Some Socielites might try to distance themselves from Garofalo’s honesty but notice that they don’t denounce it either.  This is what they believe, pure and simple.

Make no mistake, the Socielites are afraid of the American people but what they will do out of their own fear has me scared.  For the past several years it was easy to ignore the shouting on the left but now they actually control the executive and legislative branches of our government.  So when elites who already look down upon the masses start feeling threatened by these ignoble savages, think what would you do if you saw an ant at your picnic.  Listen to Garofalo’s perspective again and ask yourself if it sounds like Homeland Security’s recent “right-wing extremism” assessment.
