This may or may not be significant. Almost all mega corporations supported Obama's healthcare plan because a) if they are unionized, they'll be exempted anyway and/or b) they are already providing healthcare for their employees. So when the plan is implemented and has a negative impact on their smaller competitors, that's good for them.
And it is not unusual for any industry to support the side that holds the power and therefore writes the regulations that affect the industry. Since 2006 that has been the Democrats.
If Comcast is in Obama's pocket, that will be reflected in the overall editorial policy at NBC and its affiliates and we'll know that soon enough.
But a G.E. (absolutely in Obama's pocket) controlled NBC wouldn't be running a tribute to Ronald Reagan. The fact that a Comcast owned NBC did is an encouraging sign.
Exactly right! "croney capitalism" Any good conservative should be against this kind of crap....
