Muckraking; Origin of the term, Theodore Roosevelt, “...you may recall the description of the Man with the Muck-rake, the man who could look no way but downward with the muck-rake in his hands; Who was offered a celestial crown for his muck-rake, but who would neither look up nor regard the crown he was offered, but continued to rake to himself the filth of the floor.”

In Memory of Ida Tarbell; (November 5, 1857 – January 6, 1944) was an American teacher,author and journalist.She was known as one of the leading "muckrakers"of the progressive era, work known in modern times as"investigative journalism". She wrote many notable magazine series and biographies.

This new section of Anger/Action is Brewing is dedicated to a path of simple solutions to complex problems that are available to We the People. These actions are taken from the history of the “Progressive Era” of the early 1900's..

DAY 2

Problem; The media’s major Television news programs have a very heavy impact upon the distribution of information to the voting public. The shinning star apparent is NBC. This news agency seems to be just an extension of the Obama Camp textbook. Many agree the programming of this “News Agency” is actually propaganda. Regardless of the proof of this feeling can this Republic afford slanted journalism? Should we be a little more careful with news media ownership?

If we take a look at who owns NBC and a possible motive for this slant: GE owns NBC, NBC reports the news with total editorial control. GE has many environmental issues subject to the actions of the Federal EPA.

General Discussion; The environmental,thus financial concerns of GE potentially makes their news company apolitically advantageous aid for members of the Washington Club. If they“correctly” report the news they have friends in all the right areas.

Environmental record

GE has a history of large-scale air and water pollution. Based on year 2000 data,^[24]researchers at the Political Economy Research Institute listed the corporation as the fourth-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the United States,with more than 4.4 million pounds per year (2,000 Tonnes) of toxic chemicals  released into the air.^[25]GE has also been implicated in the creation of toxic waste.According to EPA documents, only the United States Government, Honeywell,and Chevron Corporation are responsible for producing more Superfund toxic waste sites.^[26]

In 1983, New York State Attorney General Robert Abrams filed suit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of New York to compel GE to pay for the cleanup of what was claimed to be more than 100,000 tons of chemicals dumped (legally, at the time) from their plant in Waterford.^[27]In 1999, the company agreed to pay a $250 million settlement in connection with claims it polluted the Housatonic River and other sites with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and other hazardous substances.^[28]

From approximately 1947 to 1977, GE discharged as much as 1.3 million pounds of PCBs from its capacitor manufacturing plants at the Hudson Falls and Fort Edward facilities into the Hudson River.^[29]Spending millions over many years, GE fought a media and political battle to avoid cleaning up the river: GE attacked the Superfund law in court, and launched an extensive media campaign to refute the benefits of cleaning up the river, claiming that dredging the river would actually stir up PCBs.^[30]In 2002, GE was ordered to clean up a 40-mile (64 km) stretch of the Hudson River it had contaminated.^[31]

In 2003, acting on concerns that the plan proposed by GE did not "provide for adequate protection of public health and the environment," the United States Environmental Protection Agency issued a unilateral administrative order for the company to "address cleanup at the GE site" in Rome, Georgia, also contaminated with PCBs.

Solution; Make an FCC ruling that companies with a highly profiled need to receive Government contracts, rulings and such not be able to own and control by any financial sense a major media concern. That in fact should a member of the White House’s insider be quoted in support of the mass murder Moa tse tung as a philosopher;

 and the News Agency doesn’t ask the President to explain this comment and his position on the quote, then maybe they can’t own NBC News.

These charges would be reported to a Homeland Security Special Enforcement Division with newly elected officials. Elected by, We the People not appointed by the“Washington Club”.

Solution 2; If you are a GE  shareholder, contact an attorney and ask if there isn’t a minority shareholder lawsuit for the loss in NBC market share losses due to the lack of balanced reporting. By not doing so, NBC’s value is tremendously diminished thus lowering your share value and dividends. It has been reported that their market share is truly hampered by these actions.
