GE CEO On New York Post NBCU Sale Story: ‘Made-Up Stupid Drivel’
Media quote of the day number two, via Fortune:
“That was more or less made-up stupid drivel,” says General Electric Chairman and CEO Jeff Immelt about a story in Wednesday’s New York Post, which speculates that he is considering a sale or spin-off of NBC Universal.
The “more or less” part is intriguing, considering NBCU “more or less” laid off 700 employees last fall.
