In other news Matthew Berry announced that he was looking forward to taking a highly paid position as VP for Media Obfuscation with a nationwide cable company in the near future.
The lobbyists for the coal and oil industries will spin this as a 'win'.
"See, I told you the Kenyan, Muslim, socialist, green, anti-American is trying to bankrupt the righteous, god fearing, flag waving, truck driving, ordinary American trying to protect his traditional way of life. Don't believe those liberal, elitist, heathen scientists. Donate here and vote this way. Thank you. "
It's called empty promises. The primary purpose of this merger is not nor will it ever be to take care of the poor. It merely serves to unhook the approval process that would create an internet oligarchy.
Cheap internet for anybody is the last thing that these guys want.
Remember the AT&T 768Kbps $10.00 a month naked internet service that was almost impossible to find. It was the short term bribe to get the BellSouth merger passed the regulators.
This is Comcrap's version of the same three card monte.
But they actually know and understand the curriculum. Besides which, professors at real universities aren't hired to teach, they're hired because of the research they've done. So yes, they have experience in research.
Tenured professors are hired to do research, adjunct professors are the under paid teachers.
It's the Internet's fault! It took ur jerbs! It is wrecking the middle class. The Internet cause the financial crisis, not unmitigated greed and stupidity.

Did you know that criminals can use their brains to come up with crimes! The public should be lobotomized so criminality will be impossible!
Watching Fox News is more effective than a lobotomy.
But do you dislike it enough to pony up for business/first class tickets? No? Then suffer, cattle.
I knew there was something missing. They left out the bale of hay and trough of water.
Oh wait, they would charge extra for those. Never mind ...

None will benefit the consumer.
The MPAA/RIAA cabal needs this secret treaty. So stop complaining and go back to being a quiet compliant prole.
Sigh, Miss Zug, have no idea how that got autocorrected to Mr
Wouldn't the uptight Miss Zug be more relaxed using Goatse ?
Noooooooooo ....
Sprouts make me fart.
Why?
Because the loss in economic activity that would result would kill more people than Ebola.
Economic activity ??? This is what you get when profit is the driving force in the "health care industry".
Now is the time to make the whole nations health the priority.
Why aren't we quarantining Texas?

Politicians can only think short term. Most of them no further than the next sound-bite.
