Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) questioned Assistant Attorney General Christine Varney at a Senate hearing on June 9, 2010, on the proposed Comcast-NBC merger. Franken is concerned that the merger will lead to less independent programming, more media consolidation and higher cable prices.

  • What a load BS. Her answer is a bunch of subjective BS that, even if Comcast couldn't find a loophole around (and what she described leaves loopholes you could drive an aircraft carrier through), it would be beholding by those in power to actually enforce it. As the last 8 years with Bush proved, don't expect government to enforce standing law against big business that lobby them. One administration might try but the next can (and will) tear it all down.

  • We need more like Franken.

    

  • Don't let them merge! Washington Post already has posted that they want to shut down talk radio and free speech on the internet. It is just more corp. bullshit. Mr. Franklin you are the only politician left we can trust.
