Will the Comcast/NBC merger neuter MSNBC?

It could be areal concern. Look at what else Comcast is involved in...

Comcast is fighting its way through a battle to acquire NBC and related assets (including MSNBC) without being deemed a monopoly (which they are, and should be barred from owning NBC). For a preview of how dangerous it is to have one corporation control access to the Internet and cable TV, have a look at their new joint venture: RightNetwork.

Check out the slick ads, the Kelsey Grammer intro, and please have a look at their debut reality series called "Running".

What isn't apparent at first blush becomes apparent while watching the promo. They call it a reality show, but it's really just a big teabagger campaign ad wrapped up in a half-hour broadcast and packaged for the web, mobile and cable broadcast.

1. Probably depends on the money... if MSNBC can be profitable hate, it will

go that way IMO.

6. Corporatism/right wing/elites can't survive unless they can control every outlet . . .

eventually every bit of truth is a threat to their myths --

like a pebble hitting a mirror -- the myths shatter !!

11. This is exactly my concern.. The "pubilc comment" time has been

extended. I know that the FCC has been, at least, listening when the noise gets loud enough. I wish there was a bigger online push on this thing...

9. Comcast makes $500 million a year on internet porn . . shouldn't that keep

approval of anything like this at bay --
