Tell Comcast Board Members that it's Time to Clean House at NBC!

Microsoft has ended all affiliation with the disastrous MSNBC brand.  NBC has decided to change the name of their website from MSNBC.com to NBCNews.com to end "brand confusion." This is a recognition that the MSNBC brand has become so toxic that it is a drag on any company that it touches.  

Comcast is playing a shell game, MSNBC and NBC are the same company with the same staff and same hard left ideology, but Comcast doesn't want the poisonous MSNBC brand to be able to drag the NBC News down any further.  It is shocking and absurd that rather than clean up the mess at their cable network, NBC News is simply trying to make it look like they are a separate organization.

MSNBC head, Phil Griffin and his boss Comcast CEO Brian Roberts have ignored calls to do the responsible thing and end the hate-fest that is their primetime cable lineup. We cannot back down, and Brent is calling on every member of the MRC Action team to contact Comcast's Board of Directors and insist that they send Phil Griffin, Ed Schultz and Al Sharpton packing!

What to say:

  • Microsoft was wise to end their affiliation with the toxic NBC "News" brand, Comcast should follow suit
  • Trying to seperate the NBC and MSNBC brand will not work, it only shows that Comcast recognizes that there is a problem and that they are trying to hide it rather than fix it
  • I thought when Comcast bought NBC, you would clean up the hateful speech and divisiveness on MSNBC, but it has gotten even worse.
  • You should all be ashamed of what the NBC brand has become.
  • Phil Griffin, Al Sharpton and Ed Schultz should be fired immediately

The American Spectator was among the first to report on this split late last week.
