Comcast Response to Questions about MSNBC and Keith Olbermann
Posted by Sena Fitzmaurice, VP, Corp Comm/Govt Relations, in Media & Entertainment
"Comcast has not closed the transaction for NBC Universal and has no operational control at any of its properties including MSNBC. We pledged from the day the deal was announced that we would not interfere with NBC Universal's news operations. We have not and we will not." Sena Fitzmaurice, Comcast spokesperson.

And there is a nice little place to leave your comments ;)

Edit - TRY this link instead - it looks like they blocked the first link

1. So, assuming they are not lying, who at MSNBC do we need to

have a little chat with?

2. I don't have an opinion on the subject, but....

Do you seriously think they would do anything BUT deny their involvement?

5. I tried to enter a comment and got an error message.

It said I've posted to many comments in too short of time. I've never posted a single time on that site... I think they have a filter.

7. Tried to leave a comment. ONE comment...

and I get this: "Comment Submission Error. Your comment submission failed for the following reasons: Too many comments have been submitted from you in a short period of time. Please try again in a short while."

So, I think this is all for show, as I certainly have not tried to submit ANYTHING to them--ever before.

8. I think they have a filter - because I posted the link and you are using that link.

I also posted this link on fb.

9. Proves only that comcast wouldn't sign the deal unless KO was gone.

[merh]

12. I don't know if mine went through. I didn't get an error message, but when I clicked

"submit", the page clicked, but my information was still there as though it didn't really go through.

I'll just send this through snail mail:

"We pledged not to interfere with NBC's news division," according to Sena Fitzmaurice.

LIARS! One day after Comcast's acquisition, Keith Olbermann is gone from MSNBC. Comcast's direction is clearly "All lies & propaganda, all the time.". Will NOT be watching your reich-wing garbage.

13. Then Shouldn't Comcast Be Pissed That A High Rated Program Was.....

axed? If I was purchasing a house and there were expensive granite countertops in the kitchen when I first saw the house and then when I actually purchased the house - the previous homeowner took them out - that would make me pretty angry.

Seems to me that Olbermann was a valuable piece of property at NBC/MSNBC when Comcast first looked at it and now that they purchased it - he's gone. If they still have not closed the transaction and have no operational control - shouldn't they be pissed?

14. What about Lawrence O'Donnell?

Could he be the reason KO is out?
