Well, those of you who held out a small amount of hope that Comcast’s acquisition of NBC would balance that particular “news” division out, think again.

I know someone who knows the Roberts very well.

They are flaming leftist socialists.

What Roberts meant to say was that he would be happy if the cost of health care was removed from his ledger sheet.

There is a lot of free money to be had if you just support the Marxist agenda and jump aboard their money boat.

He’s gotten the message — to get along, go along. Otherwise COMCAST could be in for some rough political sailing.

Comcast CEO endorses Senate health bill”

Quid pro quo.
0bama to Brian Roberts : You back 0bamacare or the DOJ kills your attempt to buy NBC/Universal.

Brain Roberts to n0bama: How high do you want me to jump, sir?

Comcast is doomed anyway. Sooner or later, who the heck would want to pay for cable when most TV programs can be seen online for free with no cable bills? And no, the ratings challenged Keith Olberman's NBC is not going to save them either.

Time for everyone on Comcast to move to DSL or FIOS for internet and over-the-air or satellite for the networks.

Starve the beast!

"Comcast CEO endorses Senate health bill"

Three words..."SWITCH TO DISH".

These companies, like Comcast, Progressive, etc...are pulling the same wool over our eyes that the government is...they're using OUR money to take our money...i.e. socialism.

Maybe we can't stop paying taxes, but we can sure as hell dump all of the commie-left companies and supporters, like Comcast, Progressive, GEICO, General Motors, etc. We don't need them...THEY NEED US.

Do you want to know who really runs America...just look in the mirror. That's right, the People run America...it's our culture, it's our legacy, it's our right.

The leftists are bullies, however they can dish it out but they can't take it. Very thin-skinned and narcacisstic that bunch.

The only non-violent weapon we have left is...our money. WHAT we buy and WHERE we buy it could mean the difference in our future. If you keep trading with companies that support the left, or companies with unions that support the left, you may as well be sending money directly to the DNC.

Money is their "oxygen"...time for us to stand on the tube.

Surely we can do without cable for a year or two to stifle out the communists in Washington.

Without some sacrifice, we will not defeat them.

ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS, MARCHING AS TO WAR - FEAR IS NOT AN OPTION.

Corporate America loves this bill because it will undercut rising medium size companies poised to compete with them ten years from now. This is the same logic they used when Clinton proposed mandatory daycare at workplace. The more regs the government can create in the name of children and etc, the more hurdles are thrown in front of medium size companies.

Quid pro quo. He wants Feds to sign off on his plan to purchase NBC. There are all ready rumblings on the Left that that concentrates too much media in Comcast hands and should be blocked by Fed Regulators.

He is merely buying favor at the King 0's Court

Comcast is making sure it’s going to be a big part of the NWO. Unknown to most is its association with community organizer City Year.

“...partnership to carry throughout 2010 at a cash and in-kind value of more than $50 million. Most importantly, Comcast is the proud sponsor of six Comcast City Year teams across the country.”

Sounds like a good time to take a look at some satellite providers. I hate Comcast anyway.

They constantly spam horrible commercials on many of their channels. The commercials have a ‘smug’ feel to them. You can tell the people writing them believe the viewers are a bunch of gullible dumb asses.

I understand this is a JV and GE will still retain 49% ownership in NBC.

Goodbye Comcast!

Hello Uverse or satellite dish.
