Well he has the people in the Senate and House to keep this merger from happening or to put some seriously tight rules down in order for it to happen. The questions are... Will they put in place those very rules that will keep the net neutrality issue from happening or will they deny the merger completely on Anti-Trust laws? Will they be milquetoast rules that permit the merger to happen and look good at face value with no meat to them at heart or will they be rules that can actually be enforced?
Mergers are the nature of the beast in business but I do have to say that I do not necessarily agree with a merger such as this one. This kind of merger can be dangerous to more issues than just net neutrality.

I suppose that's why Obamy decided to be on The View with Joy Behar instead of addressing the Boy Scouts at the National Jamboree as previously scheduled.
I'm not going to point out that this is a good thing, but the liberals crying in their koolaid makes me sniffle a little. Conservatives have had to put up with the left-sided media for years.

Which ones are you referring to, Time-Warner or Walt Disney-ABC?

How can a media giant truly be deemed "liberal" when it's owned by a mega-corporation? Doesn't that seem a little counter-intuitive?

"Overall, the major media outlets are quite moderate compared to members of Congress, but even so, there is a quantifiable and significant bias in that nearly all of them lean to the left,"
Most people find that the majority of networks tend to lean left where the network newscasts are concerned. FNC gets derided for being right wing while CNN, MSNBC, CNBC and the former big 3 all lean left.
This merger isn't so much about what the conservatives have had to deal with for years MD. This merger could pave the way for a Big Brother screwing of the 1st Amendment. Censorship is perhaps the biggest issue with this merger. If it is allowed to go through with no rules in place to guard against infringement of the 1st Amendment then it only stands that future mergers of a similar nature would do the same. Net neutrality would be out the window.

Fox News lean's so far right, they should be called the "far far right republican-lieing-teabaggin-kookaroonies" channel. They do have pretty women..
CNN goes a little left at times and a little right at times.
I get so tired of this topic- the commercial "media" has no political agenda. They don't care about the issues or you. As long as you watch the tube while they are talking they win. They are only accountable to their shareholders. Not any of us. I wish everyone would get over the idea that what you see on TV is supposed to be representative of truth. They feed you what you want so you'll watch again tomorrow. If media is liberal it's because more viewers like it that way. If it's conservative, same deal. Now it's just sensational and with even less context because that's what we like.
Television and radio are nothing more than a conveyance medium for advertisors.
As long as you watch the commercials for cars, soap, and tampons- it doesn't matter what the buffer is between commercials. I wish someone would challenge me on this.
