Comcast does have a market agenda. To subvert net neutrality for higher profits. To protect a duopoly created by the George Jr administration. A duopoly that has eliminated free market competition in communications. And cause the United States to fall drastically in the list of best broadband countries.

If that is Comcast promoting the Republican party, it is not for ideological reasons. It is simply a company whose profits are important; the product irrelevant - something dirty that Comcast must also do to build more skyscrapers.

Meanwhile, Murdoch needs us to all vote for the 'right' party. Just as all Italians must also vote for Berlusconi to 'save' Italy. Silvio Berlusconi's communication empire also promotes his political aspirations for same 'Fair and Balanced' reasons.

Does a political agenda promote interests of the company? Or does a company exist to promote the political agenda?
