Remember, GE owns NBC. GE designed the nuclear power plants in Japan..

MSNBC LIES About Three Mile Island Health Effects

First it was Cenk Uygur, and today a special report on MSNBC makes the FALSE CLAIM that there were no "deaths or long-term health effects connected to the accident." But they never mentioned studies by the Radiation and Public Health Project, including a "new analysis of health statistics in the region found that death rates for infants, children, and the elderly soared in the first two years after the Three Mile Island accident in Dauphin and surrounding counties." (This directly contradicts what Big Eddie reported — see his "Takedown" below. I guess Big Eddie didn't get the memo from The MAN ...)

I e-mailed Cenk this information, so whose agenda are he and his superiors pushing at MSNBC — could it have anything to do with the fact that former NBC majority owner General Electric has designed Japan's stricken reactors and many of the reactors in operation in the U.S. today? For the MSNBC research hounds (did you find this, then it mysteriously disappeared from the final report, or what they gave Cenk to read?) here's the information contradicting your broadcast LIES about Three Mile Island...

Infants and children living in Dauphin County, where Three Mile Island is located, have high rates of disease and death, specifically:

•Cancer death rate age 0-9, 1980-2002, 45% above U.S. (35 deaths)
•Cancer incidence rate age 0-14, 1993-2002, 17% above U.S. (86 cases)
•Infant death rate, age 0-27 days, 1979-2002, 23% above U.S. (600 deaths)
•Child death rate, age 1-14, 1979-2002, 13% above U.S. (187 deaths)
•Rate of births under 5 ½ lbs, 2000-2002, 37% above U.S. (994 births)
•Excluding accidents, suicide, and homicide

Welcome to the world of crony capitalism as practiced by allegedly "liberal" MSNBC. Please note, boys and girls, that the nuclear technology for those stricken nuclear plants in Japan is from General Electric, with more in the pipeline. The stakes are significant, to say the least, for GE which still owns 49% of NBC. I love Rachel, but she and her liberal colleagues are swimming in a shark's tank.
