Don't f**k with Jeff Immelt's NBC bunch

GE CEO Jeff Immelt is very over protective of his NBC bunch. Not only is he claiming that talks of GE selling off NBC Universal are made up, he also shrugged off former GE boss Jack Welch's comment in a New York Magazine article where he said that if he was still in power Jeff Zucker would be out of a job. Immelt is also coming out swinging in 'Money Honey's" Maria Bartiromo defense as well. 'New York' magazine report Asked about New York magazine's report that former GE chief Jack Welch said he would have fired Jeff Zucker by now -- the same Mr. Zucker named CEO of NBC Universal on Tuesday -- Mr. Immelt basically shrugged. "I've talked to Jack since the New York article," he said. "He says he didn't say it. Even if he did say it, I don't really care. He's been gone five years." Mr. Immelt also had the opportunity to defend CNBC star Maria Bartiromo, who has been scrutinized over her travel and close dealings with former Citigroup executive Todd Thomson. "We've completed the review," Mr. Immelt said. "She did nothing wrong." GE's Immelt: NBC Universal Not For Sale [AdAge]
