I’m inclined to think that Comcast shouldn’t be allowed to effectively buy NBC, but I certainly think that it’s a big test of the Obama administration’s FCC in regards to what they will demand the companies divest to make the deal go through. We’ve got way too much consolidated media as is (much of it made so under the Clinton administration).
Telecommunications Act of 1996’s shadow keeps growing
Better Comcast than News Corp. Murdoch has been in the mix to buy NBC too. Murdoch would’ve killed MSNBC.
