Obviously GE Needs That Bailout--And Maybe More, Just For NBC

"Zucker says NBC may scale down programming hours"
That's the bad-news-bear headline atop AP's sum up of Jeff Zucker's appearance at an investor's conference in NYC.
And although there's plenty of, uh, uncreative destruction at NBC, it's a continuing mystery to TCG why Ben Silverman seems immune from criticism, to say nothing of replacement.
Or maybe it's not a mystery, as I have noted here in the past. I guess J Zuck really does have a crush on Ben S.
But in the meantime, so long as MSNBC can keep the bailout gravy train chugging GE's way through GE Capital Zucker can continue with his party.
