I had no idea Comcast was such a propagandist for the right wing. And to think they are trying to buy NBC (which means MSNBC too). Goodbye Keith and Ed and Rachel. I'm protesting by dropping Comcast and going with FIOS or anyone other than Reichcast.

1. I like FiOS

I switched from Comcast in February. So far, no downtime and blazing fast internet, plus, I have MSNBC in HD and I get CSPAN3. So far, so good.

2. Comcast, one of the most corrupt and reviled companies on earth..

teams up with the teabaggers.. how appropriate.

3. I would love to drop Comca$t

unfortunately, there's no alternative for internet access here, except Qwest DSL. Which I already tried, and it sucked. And if I wanted to get it again anyway, would cost me a $300 deposit, on top of the installation charges. Which I could afford even less than what Comca$t is overbilling me for at the moment.

At least I'm not buying TV from them anymore.

11. Likewise

Comcast is the only game in town for broadband clipping me for $64.00 a month. It was $43/month but I dumped their TV service, so the monopoly upped my internet cost. I'm in a valley surrounded by tall trees too far away for DSL.

4. Comcast is just as evil as KBR in some ways.

All they ever do is work against the social good.

[DebbieCDC]

5. I tell everyone I know who has Comcast to drop it and why they should

Comcast is pond scum

[City Lights]

6. I despise Comcast with every fiber of my being.

Unfortunately, for fast internet speeds around here, it's the lesser of two evils: Comcast or AT&T. Our service still sucks, though, because their "fast" internet speed is not consistent.

I never pass up an opportunity to bash Comcast.

7. but. . . I thought the teabaggers are just ordinary working stiffs.

8. part of the reason I dropped Comcast however

I believe that Direct TV isn't much better. Do we really need 12-15 channels of religious b.s.? I should see who owns Direct TV too.

Now Comcast is trying to rebrand itself as Xfinity. Sounds cooler? I don't know - it's the same programming.

[Sebastian Doyle]

12. Direct TV is a Murdoch operation

If you're going with satellite, Dish TV is a better option, if you can get it.

9. Comcast's owner IS a RWer - I am amazed there is no mandatory

political programming on their cable.

10. I Wish Them Luck With This, Really

I hope they spend millions and millions getting it up. I'm sure that the 19% of the Con party who make up the tea baggers will appreciate the largess that will bring them their all hate all the time channel. A ratings winner for sure.

13. They have started censoring already

My brother is not allowed to receive emails from Mediacom, my ISP. And they won't let my emails go thru to my cousin either. They also stopped yahoo. I can't get any emails thru to him via comcast.

17. not Comcast per se

you can fix those issues

14. Nothing really new here.

Our local cable company used to carry a conservative network called "National Empowerment Television" on thier cable network.

I noticed that NET needed to run begathons, even though they were a commercial network.
They went belly-up in the late 90's.

This "teabagger" network, unless they have actually entertaining programs, will fail too.

15. so a second Fox News without the fake fair and balanced BS

Can we drop the whole "liberal media" thing yet?

[Moochy]

16. Damn You Shinehart Wig Corporation!

[lonestarnot]

18. I have to get rid of them too, but only option for cable internet. What to do?

[underpants]

19. After months of troubles with Comcast we went to Fios- I would recommend it

When Comcast suddenly implemented their "digital migration" want to guess which of the news networks was the first to get blanked out? Yep MSNBC

Now our gym can't even have Fox on in the morning. Everyone is pissed at Comcast.

[jberryhill]

20. Lol. - Verizon aided illegal surveillance, and you want to PAY them?

Kinda funny... You don't like propaganda so instead you want to pay the operations wing

[depakid]

21. "had no idea Comcast was such a propagandist"

Their decision to bump MSNBC to a higher tier of service- and before that, to flaunt the Clayton Anti-Trust act's proscription on tying contracts with impunity might have been a warning sign...

This corporation is no different than Massey coal- just a different sector.

22. Lest we forget: Comcast refused to air this advertisement during the run-up to the Iraq war
