I don't know if it was your response or the Comcast ad screaming at me from the side panel of my screen, but your response irked me. APologies in advance, but I'm going to say this anyway. If you had read my post, you would have noticed that I was asking whether Glenn was writing about Comcast as a cable provider, or Comcast as a media corporation that also owns local television stations and provides the cable. Yes, I have watched cable, Mona, thanks. This has happened often, here. Having questions doesn't mean your ignorant, and it certainly doesn't require people who don't know the answer to respond.
The reality is that Glenn's article has a few faults. He should have been specific about which of Comcast's roles he was critiquing--they answer to different regulation. I'm sure Glenn can handle the criticism, though no one else here seems to need the specifics to proclaim this the greatest piece ever written. Which also bothers me.
I'm sure that Comcast, in whatever role, is abusing its position and standing in the way of bringing telecoms to justice. But I liked to be convinced anyway.
