Comcast Merger in Trouble

This is exciting news. Finally some sanity appears to be on the horizon. From Bloomberg...

Attorneys who are investigating Comcast’s $45.2 billion proposal to create a nationwide cable giant are leaning against the merger out of concern that consumers would be harmed and could submit their review as soon as next week.

Amen. Comcast will sue, of course, and the courts are stacked against the consumers, but for a brief shining moment there is a little sunshine. Although listen to the "reporter" analyzing the case Comcast has (at the link). One of his arguments, and I'm not joking here, is that Comcast can argue that their consumer relations couldn't possibly get worse after the merger because it's already the worst in America. He said that in all seriousness.

Mr. Spock is spinning in his grave. Logic is officially an endangered species.
