NB Publisher Bozell’s Letters to Congress: Investigate Comcast/NBC

Earlier this week, NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center founder Brent Bozell announced he was calling on Congress to investigate Comcast, the parent company of NBC, given the network’s malfeasance in the Zimmerman 911 audio editing.

Comcast’s “continued silence on how to prevent such malfeasance in the future constitutes a serious breach of public trust,” Bozell noted in letters sent to Congress on Tuesday. As the cable giant is “in the midst of a business deal with Verizon requiring approval” by the FCC and DOJ, “the public policy issues related to the approval of this deal are so critical” as to require congressional hearings, Bozell wrote in his April 10 letter to the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Antitrust, Competition Policy and Consumer Rights Subcommittee. A similar letter was simultaneously transmitted to the chairman and ranking member of the House Subcommittee on Intellectual Property, Competition and the Internet.
