The ink was hardly dry on the Comcast/NBCU deal Jan 29 when critics -- including Free Press. Media Access Project, Common Cause and the Writers Guild of American East -- filed a letter with the Federal Communications Commission promising to keep a close eye on the new company and asking FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski to do the same.
"The Comcast-NBC merger is the new face of media consolidation," they wrote. "As organizations representing hundreds of thousands of diverse, local citizens around the country, we are pledging today to be vigorous watchdogs, monitoring this newly merged media giant, and consistent advocates for the public interest. We ask you to make the same pledge."
