    Yes. Grow like a creeping, ancient, underground fungus, o slimy, inevitable Comcast!

    My plot to grow rich selling silkscreened "FUCK COMCAST" shirts to frustrated midwestern college students trying to torrent indie rock/(indie?) porn at 3kbps is coming to fruition!

    Is this what those Time Warner "roll over or get tough" ads are about? Are they making a pre-emptive strike against Comcast trying to rape them over USA & Bravo? Or is this just their own usual evil saber-rattling?

    A regional cable player owning national entertainment properties? how is that synergistic? They still have to sell the shows to other cable companies and Verizon and AT&T in the rest of the country. Are those other companies going to want to pay top dollar for A&E or Bravo when they know that money is going to a competitor (granted, in the case of cable companies, not a territorial competitor, but a competitor in the potentional purchase of other cable franchises). How does a cable company support TV Anywhere, when it's a product that invariably will cause people to question the value of paying a cable and internet bill?

    Basically, this makes no sense at all.

    I guess I'll have to read the Glenn's column to get some instances where Wolffe had, and didn't acknowledge, a conflict of interest. Until I do, I'll have to be scouring my internal tapes for times I thought he was sucking up to power. My superficial memory can't bring one up to me now.

    But, yeah, Dan Bartlett? Really?

    I admire Glenn Greenwald. I think he over-writes by about 25%, but it's part of his wonkish knowledge to lay it all out. I appreciate his sincerity and his sense of justice in this compromised world. He has an intense sense of right and wrong, and is not afraid to offend powerful people in pointing it out.

    Disappointed about Wolffe- I had rather liked him on TV. But I suppose Washington is full of whores, nothing new there.

    @Baroness: Well said. GG's posts occasionally seem to be written in such a furious reverie of indignation that he skimps on the editing, but I am a loyal reader. I even flipped him a few nickels during his last fund drive so he could buy the equipment required for him to be more of a presence on American television from his home in Brazil.

    The Glenn (la-de-da he has an extra n) Greenwald I know is not doing this for altruistic reasons, yo.

    He never says anything without an ulterior motive. Probably to keep the feud going.

    @WretchedGnu: He knows the law. Read what I write and then figure out what the words I mean say.

    I stand by he's not doing it for altruistic reasons.

    Stop. Go to MerriamWebster.com and learn those words.

    Not one of them mentions the law. Awww. Don't cry about being spanked.

    @Foster Kamer: I'm not saying you are wrong in your analysis.

    I'm not saying Glen(n) is wrong in his analysis.

    I'm simply making a qualitative analysis (geez, never expected to use that phrase on Gawker) based on my experience debating Glen(n) on multiple blogs that he is pushing this to destroy the agreement.

    Keep the left/right shout machine going. Shame then rally the troops to continue. Just my opinion based on my experience.

    Give me a sec to goog from 2006 for the perfect example.

    @Iwillnotauditionforastar: One could say this about any kind of political criticism, that all it does it "keep the shout machine going." So what's the alternative, if we want to avoid such an interpretation? To never be critical?

    @skt.smth: When I'm critical I'm clear about it. When some are critical they are disingenious about it.

    This is just my personal opinion, but I prefer an open battle of ideas that lets people decide on their own.

    Regardless of the outcome. My ideas win, YAY! My ideas lose, I sucked at presenting them or the ideas sucked. No biggee. The audacity of informed choice.

    @Iwillnotauditionforastar: If he's correct and reporting stories other media can't or won't touch, why would his motives matter? I think it's very much in the interest of Fox News viewers and MSNBC viewers for him (for someone) to report this story. Same with his work on privacy and torture, both during Bush administration and continuing, sadly, under Obama.

    I'm not sure if that fits your definition of altruism, but it does strike me as a mark of integrity, which is something I value a lot more than altruism in any case. Especially in a journalist.
