This is somewhat frustrating. I know the consolidation of media is bad. Jeez. I only have one question:
Did the group try to run the ad on a local comcast cable market. That is, did the group call up the markting dept. at the local Comcast Cable Provider in God's A-hole, PA, and try to buy time on a local market (that is in between Battle Star Galactica and Dr. Who re-runs at ten at night. Or, did they try to buy the time on a television broadcaster (or series of them) owned by Comcast. Or both. Its a legitimate, question, and one that seems necessary if you want to get to the bottom of exactly what is wrong about what Comcast did (we can agree they did something wrong). It seems like an easy enough question to get to the bottom of: Glenn's usual attention to details got lost in the shuffle here, so it would be great if he OR SOMEONE WHO ACTUALLY HAS INFO ABOUT IT FROM THE SOURCE. Could clear this up.
PS: Glenn created more confusion about this by linking to the FAIR story in the update, which, if I read it right, is about Comcast censoring a journalist on one of its stations, not necessarily as a cable provider.
