"Comcast exec to hold fundraiser for Hillary Clinton"

[berniepdx420]

Comcast executive vice president David L. Cohen will host a fundraising event at his home with Hillary Clinton on June 26.

The Philadelphia Inquirer obtained a copy of the invitation, which prices tickets at $2,700 per person. The event will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.

The mid-day fundraiser is not the first time Cohen has made efforts to help candidates raise money as they run for office.

Cohen, a chief of staff for former Philadelphia Mayor Ed Rendell from January 1992 to April 1997, also held fundraisers at his home for President Barack Obama and former Gov. Tom Corbett, who lost his bid for reelection.

This is one of the Billion dollar companies that own our Media... want to know why media coverage hasn't been equal.. well here is an illustration of one reason

[jillan]

1. Where is that guy that recorded Romney talking about the 47%? We need him now.

[NowSam]

2. Her partners.

This is just as scary as Trump. Bernie is last chance.

[riversedge]

3. Good. she will need to the $$ for the GE.

[cui bono]

4. The only point you make with that post is that you don't care about democracy

or a govt of, by and for the people.

.

[AzDar]

6. It's shocking. I don't understand...

[berniepdx420]

9. +420 Well said..

[KeepItReal]

13. They give Trump free publicity while she spends $$$ money on TV ads.

Pretty genius move, Comcast.

[senz]

14. Have you no standards?

The GE? If Comcast is for her, who/what do you think she is running against?

Does it get any lower?

[Fearless]

17. Wow. Seriously wow. To what end will you support her???

[iamthebandfanman]

18. Ugh.

until we get all this money out of politics ... none of us, no matter who you support, are gonna get the things we want/need from government...
that's just how it is...
your remark that corporate money flow into the political process is frankly a shocking thing to see on DU .. but then again, theres a reason I don't post much anymore.

[leftofcool]

28. She sure will!

The Kochs will be spending millions!

[zappaman]

5. Who's your candidate?

All I see is Hillary hit pieces from you, so just wondering...

[Arugula Latte]

7. Stating facts is a "hit piece" when it comes to Hillary, I guess.

[iamthebandfanman]

20. the past

apparently isn't up for examination or questioning when it comes to Hillary either..

and here I thought following peoples stances on things YOU believe in would matter to a voter...

very frustrating to see such lock step and sheepish philosophies on DU
so tired of business as usual.

until we get the money out of politics, none of us on DU will get anything we need/want from the government.. because all that money will always trump (ope!) what the people want.

[arcane1]

10. Ok.

[berniepdx420]

12. did you happen to read my name... and don't you think it's kinda important to know that the head of

NBC/Comcast is hosting fundraisers for hillary at his home.. maybe you don't

[leftofcool]

29. It is good to know and Hillary will need the money for the GE

[senz]

8. If that woman had an ounce of integrity ...

even a half ounce.

[Agschmid]

26. If that man had a chance of winning the GE.

[CoffeeCat]

11. Wow, that $2,700 per person price tag is ironic

$2,700 per person at a HRC fundraiser; when Bernie's average donation is $27.

Amazing. And sad.

[FlatBaroque]

25. That really is an ironic statistic as $27 is 1% (vs. the 99%) /

[senz]

31. $2,700 is the limit on contributions made by persons to candidates

[MattSh]

15. When twisting the truth is no longer enough...

it's time for a fundraiser. Or 10.

[valerief]

16. can you say conflict of interest? same old same old

[jfern]

19. Comcast benefited big time from the telecommuncations deregulation

that her husband got passed. They have the worst customer ratings, but it doesn't matter since they're a monopoly with no regulation.

[TheUndecider]

21. Comcast owns MSNBC

Now I understand why MSNBC has turned into an continuous advertisement for Hillary

[casperthegm]

22. Wow, really?

What ever happened to just reporting the news? Sad.

[rurallib]

27. what little I see on there is pretty much Trumpapalooza

just like everywhere else

[Cobalt Violet]

23. She's about as likeable as them.

[nc4bo]

24. BFFs! No room for the 99%. nt

[msanthrope]

30. Cohen is a good Democrat. nt

[Waiting For Everyman]

32. I'm sure she plans on telling them off

while she's collecting their money. She'll probably be telling them how much influence they're not going to get.
