Furthermore:
  • Add Brian Williams to the list of proud multi-millionaire populists at NBC/MSNBC. The Nightly News host just declared on Andrea Mitchell’s MSNBC show today that “a lot of us know that . . . something is basically not right” about how much money some people at companies receiving government bail-outs are making.

    You mean, like someone making at least $10 million a year working for a company whose subsidiary recently received a $139 billion loan guarantee from the federal government? Somebody like . . . Brian Williams?

    That’s right. As reported here, the US government has agreed to guarantee as much as $139 billion of the debt of GE Capital Corp., a subsidiary of GE, which just happens also to own . . . NBC and MSNBC.


People like Williams should have their pay capped too.
