re: #382 laZardo

A difference is that we’re dealing with media companies. Military contracts are often twenty or thirty years long and span multiple Congresses and Presidents. Conservatives tend to spend more on defense, so yes, they’ll probably start more programs over the long run. But, with defense contracts we end up with a defense capability. With the money (eventually) being doled out to NBC/GE, the only benefit that will be accrued is to Obama, personally.
