Boycotting MSNBC is fine...but we need to go after the real culprit...Comcast...

[joeybee12]

Cancel your cable, phone, whatever you have from them.

[JonLP24]

1. Luckily Comcast is not in my area

though I'm not sure Cox is much better.

[joeybee12]

2. Yeah, they probably aren't...but we KNOW now how bad Comcast is,,,nt

3. Exactly! IMO it's just the beginning of MSNBC's purge of people. If the

country really moves RW, fascist, MSNBC will want to be right on the money trail and RW Comcast, a dreadful company, will push MSNBC RW. This will eventually be like the airwave jamming of WWII radio signals, except this time around Voice of America, whatever, will be gone.

4. If Dish is available, switch from comcast to Dish

We have had it forever & love it:)

The pricing is all pretty much the same anyway.. Just dump CC and make a statement... If enough people do it all at once, they will "feel it"..

[golddigger]

5. Cancel those assholes a long time ago. Comcast always sucked.

[stray cat]

6. What all does com cast own?

[frazzled]

7. Comcast has not yet taken over NBC

The deal is still all bolluxed up in Congress.

[EFerrari]

23. Actually, I just read here somewhere that they are already changing out

the suits.

ETA: Okay, found the article but it may not say what I thought it did.

8. Comcast is overplaying their hand.

It is part of attempts to consolidate and control. And is seen for what it is.

The Republican failure in the election against the progressives have then terrified.

They only see nightmares.

11. If the RW gets back in all the way, one can be sure internet censoring will

be all over the place. The US will make China's censoring look like child's play. Already the ignorance of America from the non-stop RW propaganda is appalling. And SCOTUS will do whatever is necessary to make internet censoring the law of the land. This country has stooped so low, internet censoring would be nothing.

[RandomThoughts]

12. They can try, best to not rely on such things.

And run the race set before you

And those making those decisions at Comcast are very vulnerable.

[Warpy]

9. Theirs was the first stock I dumped out of the portfolio I inherited

and it was one of the best decisions I've made since it held less of its value over the next 3 years than the one I replaced it with. I've never liked the way that company has been run. I never considered cable when I could afford it, opting instead for a dish and DSL through QWest.

[Mz Pip]

10. I've got Comcast

and the wording of their news links on my email homepage is has a definite RW slant. Today they put up the most unflattering picture of Nancy Pelosi for their story on her fight to remain leader.

I'd like to cancel Comcast, but they supply everything - email, cable, internet, the whole shebang. What is Comcast's connection to MSNBC?

[RKP5637]

13. "What is Comcast's connection to MSNBC?" The link below has some info.

15. Same here

No Comcast = No phone TV or internet.

14. Basic Comcast cable

Gives you FoxGOP, nothing liberal. I filed a BBB complaint against them this summer and cancelled my subscription. I always wondered if Murdoch had an investment in the company or an investment in the comcast cable boxes (inflated viewer numbers on Faux).

I have U-verse with att - love it, less money and more channels. Great referral program, great start up program (we got $300 in visa cards for signing up).

Comcast can eat it as far as I am concerned.

16. I switched to Verizon. Fewer internet outages, and no..

phone going out when the cable goes out. With Comcast, everything was interconnected. With the Olbermann thing, I'm happy I changed, though I'm not sure Verizon is any less conservative. The Verizon news page also has RW slant.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. MSNBC is still owned by GE

You know GE ...... the war profiteers?

[EFerrari]

24. Frying pan to the fire. Check out this article if you haven' seen it yet.

18. Hah...

Add this to the ever-lengthening list of over 3,000 things, states, people, and products we're all supposed to boycott...

[Hawkeye-X]

19. Already disavowed Comcast in my house - but parents use Comcast

and I'm going to try to convince them to switch to DirecTV (and no, it's not owned by Murdoch anymore, just a less evil Republican)

[Drale]

20. With satellite and fiber-optics now

I don't know how there still is regular cable, especially because in my area peoples cable will go out for days on end, but its probably because they don't switch, i'll never understand the freaking american people.

[jimlup]

21. I'm switching to ATT U-verse on monday...

I'll get more TV for less money. Don't know how their internet will stack up yet.

[AC_Mem]

22. I switched to U-verse

I haven't noticed a change in my internet, it was supposed to be faster but it is the same. Still fast, but not lightening fast. I think i may just have old computers and that might be a factor.

They have a great referral program and incentives to take advantage of - pm me if you would like to know more.

25. My alternative is DirecTV - in which Rupert has a controlling interest.

Where do we go?
