CNBC may no longer be blindly following sister company MSNBC in their blind love for President Obama, but that doesn't mean G.E. chief Jeff Immelt has to be happy about it. After Rick Santelli's tea party rant (which has lead to much teabagging on the part of the conservative movement), Immelt and Jeff Zucker met for a closed-door conference on whether or not their financial network has factioned itself off from the tone of the rest of the network.

"It was an intensive, three-hour dinner at 30 Rock which Zucker himself was behind," a source familiar with the powwow told us. "There was a long discussion about whether CNBC has become too conservative and is beating up on Obama too much. There's great concern that CNBC is now the anti-Obama network. The whole meeting was really kind of creepy."

Creepy? Really? Did Santelli and Kramer unzip their skin suits to reveal Murray Rothbard and Mark Zandi during the meeting? Because that would be creepy. Jinkies!
