Al Franken: 'I don't trust promises' of Comcast, NBC given past experience

By GottaLaff

I trust Al Franken, who doesn't trust Comcast and NBC:

Franken (D-Minn.), a member of the Senate antitrust subcommittee, said his previous career "has given me reason to be very concerned about this potential merger."

So much for all those "he's just a comedian" slams.

"It matters who runs our media companies," he said. "The media are our source of entertainment. They're also how we get information about the world."

"So when the same company that produces those programs runs the pipes, we have reason to be nervous," he said. [...]

"It's completely opposite of what NBC said they would do," he said. "You'll have to excuse me if I don't trust these promises."

There's more here.

And I'm already nervous.
