Sign Petition to Stop Comcast/NBC Merger!

[laughingliberal]

I am writing to voice my concern about the proposed Comcast-NBC merger.

The consequences of unchecked media consolidation are clear. As big media get bigger, we end up with fewer jobs in our newsrooms, more sensationalism and celebrity gossip instead of real news, and media that are out of touch with what our communities need.

Comcast's proposed takeover of NBC is particularly troubling. The largest cable and Internet access provider could also control one of the nation's largest movie and TV studios. That's too much power for one company, and it's a threat to competition and innovation at a moment when new forms of online video delivery are emerging.

Comcast wants to preserve the old cable model of higher prices, fewer choices and less innovation. This merger would also usher in a new wave of media giants as other companies scramble to match Comcast-NBC's market power.

This takeover will do nothing good for our communities, our state or our democracy. It's time Washington stood with the public and stopped the Comcast-NBC mega-merger.

14. I agree. Especially as it is likely a factor in what happened to Keith.

Imagine if Congress gets this with the same number of signatures MSNBC got about KO. :)
