Jack Welch
While guest hosting Wednesday’s "Morning Joe", former General
Electric CEO Jack Welch condemned global warming, the very theory MSNBC
has been peddling for years. GE, of course, owns MSNBC; the rebuke of
MSNBC’s favorite alarmist hypothesis came in a segment where hosts
share noteworthy editorials. Welch decided to share an opinion piece
from Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal aptly titled "Global Warming As Mass Neurosis."
Welch informed the audience that the article has "a lot of technical
numbers here to show you that NASA overstated what's happening." Welch
summarized the article by saying "And they got an argument that states
that global warming is the attack on capitalism that socialism couldn't
bring"
After Jack’s synopsis, co- host Pat Buchanan interjects his belief
that global warming is "a neo-Marxist idea for the transfer of wealth
and power." Jack Welch jumps in to agree saying "Right" Pat Buchanan
then decides to carry his rebuke even further by saying "And At the end
global elites, and they’re, you know they’re gonna to dictate to all of
us because of this phony idea that we're all in some eminent danger. I
agree with that 100 %." Welch, the former GE CEO enthusiastically
jumped in to agree saying "Absolutely!"
Later in the segment Mika Brzezinski did her best to put pressure on
her former boss by saying "Alright, but I just want to say at some
point this [global warming] is going to come back and haunt us if we
don't address it, Jack." However ‘Neutron Jack’ refused to cede his
ground and sarcastically responded "We'll see."
What makes this vivacious segment so amusing is that as the former
Chief Executive Officer of General Electric, Jack Welch, was once the
head of a company that owns MSNBC. MSNBC is a network that hawks global
warming mythology on a regular basis. Just two months ago Newsbusters
profiled how MSNBC firebrand Chris Matthews was shocked by global warming skepticism. Apparently, Matthews never talked to his old boss about the subject.
