Knowing how Al Franken felt about the merger of NBC and Comcast, and for what he was putting efforts in to prevent, it only took another corrupt politician to take money from a corporation, to pass something they wanted passed and then decide, ‘oh, I’m going to go work for the people who really pay me’.
And Meredith Attwell Baker wasn’t shy about it either, just 4 months after the merger she helped approve and fought to get passed, she up and leaves to go to Comcast. And in some sort of demented way, she thinks this is okay— no ones going to notice that she helped pass this merger and then she’s going to go turn coat and flip to Comcast.
Right.
And the congressional probe they’re going to go in to on her, I don’t suspect it’s going to be anything more than having her nails done. Why? Cause she knows people.
The more I see stuff like this, the more I recall the movie ‘Casino Jack’; you know, about Jack Abramoff.
Is it really that far away? Was it that long ago that this happened?
And the bad part there was nothing done about it. He went to jail, but where was the reform?
What’d they fix about this?
Yeah, he was getting money, but he was giving it to the politicians to get them re-elected and to have them vote on things their way. They’re all corrupt and the events that are going on in France right now; they’re not that far off in the United States.
I don’t know what’s wrong with the media. They don’t cover real news anymore— they aren’t out to discover the real news, they’re out there to repeat exactly what people told them to say. I find more honest reporting in the blogs on this stuff than the actual news and produce. Blog writers have become a mainstay occurrance on TV news to report as consultants. Really? Not a real reporter/journalist? I thought bloggers weren’t real journalists?
If the ‘probe’ goes forward to do anything good, I hope she burns on a blank in Comcast‘s front lobby…
…And that beats all.
