The Huffington Post had an article about GE and NBC executives having a dinner with the top brass of CNBC to discuss if the latter is too negative concerning Obama. Normally an article like this is like water off a duck's back with me. But a statement caught my eye:Have a nice day."The dinner was to thank CNBC for a job well done in our in-depth reporting throughout the financial crisis. As far as our coverage is concerned, we are built for balance and we are unabashedly pro-investor." (emphasis mine)Duh!
Classic OXYMORON.
How can you be balanced and unabshedly pro something at the same time!
