Another race based shake down by.....

[thereisnospoon]

....The National Association of African-American Owned Media and Entertainment Studios Network...
This organization is pissed off because Al Shaprton's show which gets terrible ratings, is being KEPT by MSNBC..
Of course the plaintiff( ha ha) is not suing MSNBC....Oh no. They are going after much deeper pockets..
Parent company Comcast is the target of the suit....
Why only $20 million?....My theory is Comcast will settle to make this go away for what is chump change for the media giant.
The above plaintiff gets a quick payoff and takes a walk....The guys in the board room at the National Association of African-American Owned Media and Entertainment Studios Network...Will be snickering to each other saying "Holy moley......That was easy"...And "Al Sharpton?....Who he?"

Comcast accused of astroturfing alongside Al Sharpton in 20M discrimination suit - FierceCable

 

[Mr. H.]

In accusing the plaintiffs of "discriminatory practices," the suit alleges that, among other things, Comcast kept Sharpton's daily show on its MSNBC cable network, despite terrible ratings, in order to secure public support for initiatives including Comcast's $45.2 billion takeover bid of TWC. (It was reported Monday that MSNBC is ending the three-year run of Politics Nation With Al Sharpton.)

The 71-page suit also says Comcast and TWC "collectively spend approximately $25 billion" annually to license and market programming networks, but less than $3 million of that money goes to networks that are "100 percent African-American-owned."

That's "discriminatory"?
