Some of the guys at Comcast are at best Establishment Republican businessmen types....I heard awhile back when rumors of Comcast taking over NBC last year surfaced that there were going to be changes and that they were going to dump some of MSNBC leftward lurchers!
It was posted here on FR almost a year ago; its all about them losing money with bad ratings and blaming it on the left leaning cable shows which don’t work
It's all about the bottom line. Fox demonstrates that catering to a conservative audience makes money. MSNBC has demonstrated that catering to the moonbat fringe loses money. Therefore expect any executive interested in making money to move NBC in a more balanced direction.
