Did Comcast Black Out Ron Paul...

Here is a thread with some people who suspect they may have been fired from their Comcast jobs for supporting Ron Paul, or something of that nature:

I have charter....all night they had the RNC on both C-span and C-span 2
not a thing about Pauls rally

On Sept. 2nd I was truly amazed to witness the Ron Paul Rally. I learned a lot of new information I hadn't known before. I am a seeker of truth and knowledge so the broadcast of the rally over our Comcast channel meant a lot. Yesterday, 9/3/08, I turned to channel 30. It was "snow-white". Today, 9/4/08, it is still the same yet Comcast channel menu show "Today in Washington"-CSpan2. I can view CSpan2 from the CSpan website. How ironic if Comcast just happens to have technical difficulties while the Republicans are on fie to sell their candidates on every channel and air waves. Just to prove to you this is true, two of our local radio progressive talk show hosts, non-republican, were removed from the air waves Nicole Snadler and Jim Defede am940 and am850. Both have spoken highly of Ron Paul. The point is leadership should be transparent and not dominated by party name but by freedom, liberty, and justice. Color, race, and religion should not be a barrier. I surveyed the RNC, DNC, and Ron Paul Rally audience. Which audience really resembles the melting pot of American?

I'm not sure it was only comcast. Here in NY, Aimee Allen sang two songs, and Cspan2 went to Hurricane Gustav coverage. When I went on the computer to finish watching her performance, every feed I could find was off. Except CNN.com, But the Feed was messed up and looked green. As soon as she was done they came back on and went on dinner break. I thought it was pretty stange, since earlier in the day I read about the CIA and her threatining her and her record label about her message of revolution in her songs. Either way I was p'd off because I missed the anthem! At least the rest of the speeches were covered, and what a great rally it was!

I've got Comcast and I watched it. Comcast did have the listings incorrect for the CSPAN channel and due to that I missed DVR'ing Ron Pauls speech. But Comcast did show it.

cspan has two channels. I had to flip back and forth to get the whole presentation.

"Committed To The Eradication Of Poverty Among Patriots"

"Those Who Strive For Excellence Refuse To Fear Mediocrity; They Eradicate It."

Seems a little odd (and a little stupid) to black out transmission completely. Anyway, I'll check again tonight.

Thanks, again.

Comcast is unreliable. We had Comcast phone service and our phone was out every other week for several days. I finally cancelled and they sent me a bill for months. I was also being billed by our new phone company at the same time. They both said they owned our phone number. After ten phone calls and hours of wasted time, they sent it to "legal" to sort out.

I don't think it is just Comcast though, the entire infrastructure of the United States is falling apart. We have a new phone company and sometimes when people call our house they get the sound of a fax machine. My Internet service goes out several times a day for a little while.

Go to c-span online if you want to see the speech.

Bob I think you listed a wrong time. Out here on the West Coast it came on at 5 pm PST or 8 pm EST. You were an hour off, I believe.
