SHAME ON COMCAST

By Chris Daly

According to this story, the company didn't even wait to get a complaint from Fox about Barry Nolan's critique of Bill O'Reilly. Comcast just went ahead and fired this guy IN CASE Fox might get upset.

This is a clear case of non-governmental censorship, and it's just as bad as the other kind, except that there's no First Amendment to protect people from their bosses. It's just naked economic power.

But, did it ever occur to Comcast that their customers might not like this kind of censorship? Come to think of it, I'm a customer of Comcast... for now.
