The Perils Of Corporate Media: MSNBC Makes Few Mentions Of Tax Avoidance By Parent Company GE

The only substantive coverage on GE tax dodging by MSNBC was a full segment on Lawrence O'Donnell's show, and a partial segment clip is in this story. The  news, that MSNBC parent GE received a $3.2 billion tax credit on $14 billion in profits for 2010, was only mentioned briefly twice by the network in a three-day period.
