Rep. Waters to Comcast: Not This Time
Posted June 9th, 2010 by Megan Tady
Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is not letting Comcast take over NBC Universal without a fight.
The congresswoman came out swinging at the corporation during a House field hearing in L.A. on Monday, lambasting Comcast’s woeful track record on diversity and its attempts at intimidating independent producers from speaking out against the merger.
Comcast, the nation’s largest cable company and Internet service provider, wants to take over NBC, one of the world’s biggest producers of TV shows and motion pictures.
Rep. Waters challenged her fellow members of Congress to stand up to Comcast and tell them, “Not this time.”
