Democratic members of Congress and the Obama administration have extensive ties to Comcast and Time-Warner, the two cable giants currently awaiting approval from the Federal Communications Commission on a $45 billion merger.

The left-wing government/media complex.
Must have been a helluva pay cut
I would disagree. He’ll help to write legislation....something his boss is incapable of doing...and ensure that Comcast is in a very fine position for years to come, with various deals coming his way.

They have a promo for $39 that include U-verse (18 Mbps), basic TV, and HBO for 12 months.
I've had it with Comcast/MSNBC.
