FCC Commissioner Leaves To Become Lobbyist 309
An anonymous reader writes "Meredith Attwell Baker, one of the FCC Commissioners, is leaving the FCC to become a lobbyist for Comcast-NBC, just four months after approving their merger deal. She refused to put any significant conditions on the merger, saying that the deal would 'bring exciting benefits to consumers that outweigh potential harms.' Comcast has released an official statement saying that, 'Meredith's executive branch and business experience along with her exceptional relationships in Washington bring Comcast and NBCUniversal the perfect combination of skills.'"

Maybe before she leaves she can put the stamp of approval on AT&T / T-Mobile as a fallback.

"Government is corrupt like crazy"
no, not really. Over all it's pretty good. excellent compared to most, if not all, other governments on the planet.
It is complex, so people like you peek into a keyhole and then complain about things that don't 'make sense. Completely ignoring the fact that you only have a tiny view that's only bit's of other things,.

Don't you listen to Rush Limbaugh? This is all part of evil plan set in motion by Bill Clinton and carried out by his minions. The Republican former FCC commissioner was a progressive sleeper agent.
