Comcast denies connection to 'Tea Party TV' venture

article published on 20 April, 2010

Comcast has denied today that is has any connection to RightNetwork, a start-up venture that will launch in the Republican states and will "reflect and reinforce their perspective and worldview.? The large ISP had been identified as a key partner, and The Huffington Post went as far to call the new venture "Tea Party TV," alluding to the anti-tax protesters. Comcast vehemently denies: ... [ read the full article ]

Tea party activists are not extremists. They are simply regular Americans who are fed up with the government?s complete lack of transparency and disregard for fiscal responsibility.

I second that. Our five year old understands the simple principle that you can't spend more than you have. Our government is run by a bunch of retards that have no common sense. Its a shame really. Checkout Fairtax.org, you may be surprised.

The first thing I thought was that I was about to comment on how it's really misplaced to label the Tea Party protesters as extremists. How about you guys stick to reporting the tech news and keep your political bias to yourself. However, I do see how this story applies tech and it was fine to report it; but let's not make this into a political debate. I come to this site to read about tech news and that's it.

Extremist my ASS. Have you even seen what a Tea Party gathering looks like? They're all people 40-100yrs old. They're the "older" parents, grandparents, and great grandparents. They stand/sit with signs, hardly move around, and lightly converse amongst themselves. They are NOT extremist. They just want you to see/hear that there are people who ARE against the direction things are headed. They're not actually doing anything besides making their presence seen/known. These are VERY peaceful/kind people. They're just don't agree with the way things are going.

I hope that extremist comment was meant as sarcasm, because it couldn't possibly be any more WRONG. Like the others have mentioned. We don't want opinionated politics, this is a tech site, we only want "tech" news.

I don't think a news item here should reflect a political point of view.

However, since people are talking about it anyway, I'd like to ask some who have commented above what they would like to see cut in the U.S. budget?? Obviously the U.S. is under incredible strain and the massive deficit is a reflection of the fall in revenue to the federal government, but what government program are you willing to sacrifice?

Medicare? Social Security? Defense? I'm asking because I would really like to know what protesters actually want the U.S. Government to stop funding because I have seen people protesting, for example, health care reform, also threatening the government not to mess with their Medicare... and I don't understand that??? Maybe there's a tea party supporter here who can explain it to me?
