An assfucking is an assfucking, it's true.

The concern is that they'll shift from only assfucking their customers to assfucking the content producers and the customers.

Comcast already owns NBCU. That ship sailed a while ago.

Given my parents pay TWC the same price for 15/1 when I get 25/5 even Comcast would be an upgrade for them.

I don't really want it to go through because I don't think a comcast with more buying power is necessarily good, but I don't think the downside is /so/ huge. Again, I think comcast owning a ton of media companies is probably worse off for the average consumer. Now they have a vested interest in stopping cord cutters on both the cable and content provider side, on top of owning a large stake in hulu.
