In the midst of a coming FCC decision about the proposed merger between telco giants Comcast and Time Warner Cable, a group has filed a $20 billion lawsuit alleging that the two companies discriminate against black-owned media companies by simply not carrying them.

The National Association of African-American Owned Media filed the suit in California last week, echoing their actions against DirectTV and AT&T from late last year. Comcast, however, is not the only defendant targeted — MSNBC host Al Sharpton and various advocacy groups were named in the suit as well.

The suit alleges that TWC and Comcast intentionally avoid picking up networks that a fully owned by African-Americans, and that allowing the two to merge would only compound the problem. Via the Hollywood Reporter:

Now we know why Sharpton, with is abysmal ratings, even for msnbc, has kept his gig for all these years. It's a quid pro quo, by Comcast. That, and the 3 + million dollar check they wrote, to Al's scam of a group.

And if msnbc can fire Frank and Mia's kid Ronan, then is Al's show next ?

Less than a year after receiving the Walker Cronkite Award for Excellence in Exploration and Journalism, Ronan is canned from msnbc.


Right after he won...

Why isn't his name Ronan Sinatra? ...............


So Frank could be his father.

Or Woody Allen could be his father.

Or any of the other 50 guys Mia fucked that month could be his father.

So he took his mommy's last name. Sad, just another libtard who doesn't know who his daddy is.

2/19/2015 In a bid to stem cataclysmic ratings declines and waning relevance, MSNBC has cancelled the daytime shows "Ronan Farrow Daily" and "The Reid Report." . . . Ronan Farrow will launch a new series of primetime specials, featuring in-depth interviews, and will continue to be a special correspondent across programming. He will also continue his partnership with the NBC News Investigative Unit. -- www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/02/msnbc-cancels-ronan-farrow-reid-r

Why does Ronan say he grew up watching Cronkite and Edward R Murrow, the Greats of TV Journalism? He's joking, right? Those two were dead before Ronan was born.

Same reason Brian Williams said his copter was shot at by a RPG, or Hillary said she had to dodge sniper fire.

Karma is a biotch. Same games played in Canada to kill that news channel. Same was also waged against Fox News Channel, but they overcame the obstructionists. These racists should probably try supporting Obama and NAALCP a bit more stridently.

You need to ask? He is vying for the Brian Williams Award for Exaggerism.

If Farrow didn't have this gig, he'd be a gigolo getting free meals and expencive suits from old women.

Maybe he'll take over for Brian Williams.
Brian could take over the spot John Stewart is giving up - same amount of believability.
