Feel like a little user-lamb being chopped up and fed to the internet-wolves? Me too, and once again we are at least a decade behind Europe.

According to an article in The Verge 11/3/22 titled, The Mystery of Biden’s Deadlocked FCC:

"Rupert Murdoch, who controls Fox News and The Wall Street Journal parent company News Corp, is on the same side as the Roberts family and Comcast, which owns MSNBC. These are not your usual allies. It’s bizarre that Comcast and the Fox News machine have teamed up to obstruct Gigi, and they’re doing it in two politically critical states.

David Goodfriend: "Comcast hired a lobbyist in West Virginia who used to serve as chief of staff to Senator Manchin back when Senator Manchin was governor. Senator Manchin has not said one way or the other which way he intends to vote, and that’s because his former chief of staff was hired by Comcast to lobby him against Gigi." The same thing happened in Arizona, home of centrist Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema."

So here we are once again with Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, and piles of money!

Excellent Report, Thom. I'm hoping for another Biden miracle.
