Comcast-NBC Merger Approved By FCC

Posted by timothy on from the gov't-power-concentration-is-fine-though dept.

AndyAndyAndyAndy writes "It seems that the FCC has approved the proposed merger between Comcast and NBC, effectively kicking apart hopes for protection against 'pipes and their water' frameworks. Pres. Obama's 2008 goal also goes ignored: 'I strongly favor diversity of ownership of outlets and protection against the excessive concentration of power in the hands of any one corporation, interest or small group.' The Dept. of Justice is also onboard, leaving little hope that this will be stopped."

    Here's a post from someone that's logged in.

    Anyone who thinks Dems are better than Reps or Reps are better than Dems is fooling themselves.

    They're ALL politicians, and don't have any interest in what the people actually want.

    Become a PAC and you'll get your voice heard, but not until then.
