Editor’s Note: Michael originally published this article in 2010, but it is such an important message that I decided to reprint it. In the four years that have since passed there has been no progress worth speaking of. Please note that the graphic above the article does not quite match Michael’s list. General Electric has sold it’s stake in NBC. Even though things change, they somehow remain the same. General Electric sold its interest in NBCUniversal to Comcast last year. GE is the former majority shareholder in Comcast so the control continues to remain in the hands of the same big dysfunctional family.
