Matt Szaro FreePress, you guys are doing an absolutely wonderful job. In a legislative system full of corporate lobbyists, you truly are the clear forerunner (if not the only group) protecting the rights of the public and the public interest in vital areas of a modern, technological society. Keep up the good work. I've nothing but praise for you.

Comcast, the nations largest cable company, announced a deal to buy NBC-Universal, one of the worlds biggest producers of TV shows and motion pictures. For consumers, it means higher prices, fewer choices and less innovation. We need to stop this merger! www.freepress.net/comcast

The Comcast-NBC merger will create a media behemoth that spells disaster for consumers choice and diversity in media. And Ruth Livier decides she doesn't need a television network to create an award-winning TV series. read more

Free Press If you haven't already, say no to the Comcast-NBC merger!

The marriage of Comcast and NBC is bad news. For consumers it spells higher prices, fewer choices and less innovation. But Washington and Wall Street have already bought into the idea that it's a done deal. We must speak out and stop the merger before it's too late.

No, it needs to go through the regulators and the FCC before the deal is done. That is why it is important to speak out on this now. I love "indie" (independent) media more than anything else on the planet The most talented artists and voices speaking truth to power are the ones that are not famous and don't need to be as long as the independent ... See Moremedia that allows access for them to thrive features them. Independent media (whether it be online, on cable or local TV/radio) will eventually die if this merger goes through. So, sign the petition at freepress and make your voices heard!

the government invented special low postal rates just for newspapers and other publications... which is why they should subsidize the internet so it is as easy as possible for anybody to tell the whole world what they have to say.

"cross-media laws that may constrain the commercial vitality of the industry." Sounds corportist, give us a media law like Argentina just got recently 1/3 each, private, government, and non-profit

The continuing class war in America began infecting the Net from its infancy as a military back road. It is now a digital highway. Now we struggle for access against the corporate and plutocratic highway robbers and thugs. It is OUR highway, built with OUR money and resources. Don't let them sell it back to us.. again.
