Comcast-NBC is looking to buy and merge with Time Warner cable, but one obstacle still remains. It needs FCC approval. If approved, Comcast/NBC will own about 1/3 of the entire cable and satellite television market in America. It shouldn’t be much of a problem getting FCC approval though as Comcast has basically bought the Democrat party in recent years. The CEO of Comcast Brian L. Roberts is a frequent golfing buddy of Obama and huge Democrat donor. Comcast vice president, David Cohen, is a former aide to Democrat governor Ed Rendell and another big Democrat donor. Do you still wonder why MSNBC continues to exist, even though it’s losing viewers on a daily basis as they embarrass themselves? Cohen even attended the recent dinner for France’s socialist President Hollande. It’s all about control for Comcast-NBC. With Obama and pals in control of the US Government, Comcast will be paid back for their generous support of Democrats.

| How Comcast-NBC bought the Democratic Party |
|---|
Comcast, which employs more than 100 lobbyists, spent almost $19 million last year on lobbying activities. Its president and CEO, Brian L. Roberts, is a golf buddy of President Obama’s, and a Democratic donor who has contributed thousands of dollars not only to the president’s campaigns, but also to the Democratic Party of Pennsylvania, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, the DNC Services Corporation, and to Steny Hoyer, Kirsten Gillibrand, and Bob Casey. Roberts’ executive vice president, David Cohen, is a former aide to Democratic bigwig Ed Rendell. Cohen skirts lobbying regulations through loopholes, has raised more than $2 million for Obama since 2007, and in 2011 hosted a DNC fundraiser at which the president called him “friend.” Cohen has visited the White House 14 times since 2010, including two visits to the Oval Office. He attended the recent dinner for President Hollande of France.
