Another election another media debacle. Of all the brilliant brains in the media you remain intentionally bias to your liberal socialist agenda. It's immature and pathetic. I am fortunate to have other choices for the truth.

How can MSNBC have any creditability with the most racist individual (Al Sharpton) as a contributor. His only goal is to separate the races and to feed on the hatred that he has caused among his own race. A legitimate news organization that has any moral obligation to the USA, would not allow the racist to use their resources to promote racism.

Why did you fire Keith Olbermann? Is this true? If so, WHY...why...why? I'm sorry cannot watch your station, tonight was the last night. I just do not understand it at all. Bad move.

I'm surprised to hear the sad news tonight regarding Keith Olbermann, the best show on your network. I'm hoping CNN will pick him up, when his contract with you has expired. Its a very sad day for many. I am sorry to inform you that I will no longer be tuning in to your station at all. Never again. It seems all to wrong and not fair to your viewers and his large fan base. I hope too see him else where

Former Comcast/NBCU Deal Critics Praise Deal Conditions
-- Broadcasting & Cable (B&C) Magazine reported on January 18, 2011:
"While some public interest groups were screaming the equivalent of bloody murder after the government approved the Comcast/NBC Universal deal Tuesday, some one-time deal critics were more upbeat.
Bloomberg, which had argued Comcast would have the ability and incentive to favor its own business news nets over Bloomberg, pointed to the condition requiring Comcast to put competitor's business news channels in the same neighborhood as its own.
Praising what he said was the FCC's "strong action to preserve independent news programming, and protect competitors against discrimination," Bloomberg President Dan Doctoroff said in a statement Tuesday that the FCC recognized "the critical importance of neighborhooding and ensuring that independent channels are treated fairly and consumers are protected.""
