Al Franken Doesn't Trust Comcast NBC Merger

[glascoe]

Not to mention racist (Andrea Mitchell), fixing hockey games (2012 Winter Classic) ...plus excessively over-charging for a single product (Broadband) and they split my pants!

[dbooyy1]

FUCK ALL POLITICS!!!

[Keither9]

Obscenity laws have been extensively abused to the point that sex offenders are to celebrate Christmas too pay into the economy but not Halloween, pointing to the hypocrisy & an adults supposed too keep from certain web sites or go to jail? These laws are worthless & over extended. Like children trying too empress the priest by showing their weiner. S~word, F~word? their in the dictionary & were better for knowing that. Ignoring separation of church of state has been the norm too long. Stop it!

Comcast BLOWS.. if your into Gay,P.C. & Diversity then they are the place to go. But if dare think for your self,Homewood il, they run you out before you can blink an eye. in 29 yrs I have never been treated so rudely by any cable office. Go AL F.

[mstaff657]

Simple AL

Minnesota, What were you thinking ?

[DojoNDude]

Al Franken, owning, not owned.

[Budvb]

It's nice seeing us not elect a lawyer for once! He is a very Enlighten man!

[VTVStudios]

Way to Represent Al, Keep protecting us from big greedy corporations. They don't care for consumers interests only theirs.

[uyd]

AL FRANKEN IS A BRILLIANT STATESMAN! He's right, we should not allow the continued centralization of the control of our media!!!

[hudsonhawk548]

right..... kind of like npr or pbs getting my tax money.

[rwcbanzai]

Corporatism knows no bounds.

Franken should be concerned as all of us.

Threre are too many MONOPOLIES now!

Where's the Anti-Trust legislation?

After the TimeWarner conglomerate & AT&T, Chase & CitiBank, those "To big to fail" deals. We as consumers ate the inflationary costs so WALLSt. could prosper! When will we realize that MONOPOLIES drive up the costs?

Look at GM!

Senators, Franklin excluded, it started in your Chamber three decades ago with DEREGULATION! ; (

[cagedtigersteve]

I'm with Coco!

[RuflessRecords]

I think the Democrats and Franken are right about this in general, it should be illegal for huge companies in any industry to merge. If a company becomes huge on its own, by beating competitors, fine that's the market, but this idea of signing some papers and suddenly having a near monopoly or oligopoly in an industry is wrong, and shouldn't be allowed.

It should be illegal for any company with more than 5% of the market to merge with any other company with more than 5% of that market.

[DoubleHelixStrand]

Every time I see him he makes more glad I voted for him.

[m1racing]

Nothing like cutting the neck of those who made you who you are. Never been on NBC Al? leave on bad terms? Their mother company was given a big pile of cash by the government not that long ago. No more airing you wearing a diaper makes you angry, eh!

[strylowskia90]

NBC Killed Coco, I wouldn't trust them.

[RuflessRecords]

stry, was that the thing from the Today show that did fashion/entertainment type news for a while?

[strylowskia90]

@RuflessRecords No, Conan "Coco" O Brien.

[RuflessRecords]

ah, gotcha, well I'm sure his dramatic hop at the beginning of the monologue will be back in no time on tv

[strylowskia90]

@RuflessRecords I hope so. He's good friends with the executive of FOX, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

[rmcpro99]

Al Franken's the reason why the democrats' logo is a jackass.

[bigc028282]

This is the stuff you need to be doing Frank....

Stop the other "professional politician wannabe" stuff though.

[bigc028282]

By the way, it's G.E. that is the owner today. An example of the 6 corps that own all YOUR talking points, and that make more off of agenda's, than news and facts.

[divine137]

Hmm? I didn't like this guy when he ran for the Senate seat, due to his liberalism, but he's starting to grow on me...

[ONQproductions]

I like this guy.

[yumosis]

Smart man and very correct on his warnings.
