The writer complains about AT&T's and Perry's "spin" on the merger, but the writer's attempt to put the most sinister spin possible on every point led me to imagine him playing ominous music at every turn.

Does AT&T promise more jobs in the long-term? So did Vice President Joe Biden with Solyndra.

Useless argument, as far as logic goes. The rejoinder has the effect of undermining ANY promise of jobs by ANYBODY, ANYWHERE: "Does ______ promise more jobs in the long-term? So did Vice President Joe Biden with Solyndra." [cue ominous music]

I really do want to know about Perry's dirty laundry if it's there, but I'd rather read about it in an article that's a little higher on the intellect scale.

Plus, on the job thing, AT&T is already a successful company. They know how to create jobs.
