Media matters (lower case m): Did anyone ever see a CSX railroad ad before BushCo?

[Atman]

Why do I ask, and what does The Media have to do with it?

Treasury Secy John Snow was the CEO of CSX Railroad up until the day he was appointed by the Bush administration.

Part of Snow's contract with CSX included a very large bonus ($1,000,000 I believe) if he was able to land a job with BushCo.

John Snow indeed landed a job with BushCo.

CSX was granted the contract to transport nuclear waste cross country to the Yucca Mountain depository.

CSX was granted immunity from prosecution for it's anti-environmental actions in Florida by none other than Jeb Bush.

CSX advertises every ten minutes or so on CNN and MSNBC, although NONE of those cable network's viewers will ever call upon CSX for anything.





Does anyone still believe these cable news orgs are not thoroughly in the back pocket of BushCo? That the news orgs consistently play positive towards BushCo in part because of all the tentacle extending into these big businesses like CSX? That it's not one big cozy cluster fuck?


Of course, I'm probably wrong. I'm sure the billions of dollars changing hands is all just a coincidence.
