3. Comcast does not have any kind of license from the FCC
Why would the FCC care?

4. Comcast is about to merge with NBC Universal (in a really SCARY mega-merger).

7. NBC Universal owns and operates a handful of TV and radio stations
Those are licensed individually by the FCC. The parent company is not. FCC has no regulatory power over it, or over Comcast, or even Fox News.

6. Comcast = Cable. Comcast =/= FCC.
They have no jurisdiction.

8. Wow! Usually it's KO who is on fire, but then somebody should always be on fire.
I'll take your word for it, though, since I don't watch or listen to any of them.
