MSNBC begins booking Comcast guests

[meegbear]

A day after Comcast took control of NBCUniversal, we’re starting to see Comcast Network talent appear on NBCU airwaves.

This morning, during continuing coverage of the situation in Egypt, Comcast Network’s Washington Bureau chief Robert Traynham did a Q&A with anchor Alex Witt about White House reaction to the crisis.

“A special welcome to you, Robert. Welcome to the family officially. Glad to have you,” said Witt during the first of Traynham’s two segments so far today.

Traynham joined Comcast Network in 2007. He hosts “Roll Call with Robert Traynham,” a political talk show produced in conjunction with Roll Call. Before Comcast, Traynham worked on Capitol Hill, including as a top aide to former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA).

2. Every day we talk more and more about getting rid of

our TV cable....Kinda reminds me of when we talked about getting rid
of our landline. That happened without a hitch...
We can do this..

3. a top aide to former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA). (WOOF WOOF WOOF)

This is the on-air talent you can expect from now on. But as I am one of the people who now refuse to watch any NBC programming, your pain not mine.

5. Your corporate overlord isn't your "family".

Just like your pimp isn't your parent.

Apparently people like Witt and Traynham don't understand that simple fact.

6. I will not turn MSNBC on, ever again.

I'm very sorry about Rachel, Cenk and Ed but Comcast must feel negative repercussions from their monopolistic action and censorship.
