The GE Boycott
A Story NBC Wouldn't Buy

By Todd Putnam


When I got a call from NBC's Today show in June 1990, telling me they were interested in airing a story on consumer boycotts, naturally, as the editor of National Boycott News, I was enthusiastic. But I suspected there might be a problem when Amy Rosenberg from Today asked me for "the biggest boycott going on right now."

I already had a good idea, but I wanted to do a little more research before I gave her my answer. When I looked at major boycotts in terms of visibility, effectiveness, scope and public support, one stood out: the boycott of GE products led by the group INFACT, prompted by GE's leading role in the production and promotion of nuclear weapons.

The only trouble was, GE has owned NBC since 1986, when the company bought RCA. Would NBC News be willing to discuss a boycott against its own corporate parent?

1. Where are you SovereingtyWhoa LOL

She asked for some other major boycotts, but she didn't seem too interested in any of them -- most of which were against major corporations with large TV advertising budgets. She thanked me and said goodbye.

Three weeks later, in July, she called again, saying that the show was now interested in doing something about "small" boycotts. We had a couple of conversations, the upshot of which was that Today might do something about the boycott against shrimp producers provoked by the killing of sea turtles.

2. Get this line. Small Local and SEXY.......Lol. Thats news for you!

I had a few more conversations with Amy Rosenberg, where I learned that Today was looking for a boycott that was "small," "local" and "sexy." By this point I seriously doubted NBC would ever do a segment on any sort of boycott.

4. The General was actually not a bad sort until he got mixed up with

that Jack Welch person. It was all downhill after that, I couldn't stand his company after 1990 anymore.
