On the eventide of the FCC ’s pending opinion on the Comcast / Time Warner merger , Commissioner Mignon Clyburn has accept some time to gracefully bear an prize at an annual diligence dinner . A dinner that Comcast donated $ 110,000 to . And a dinner party that they were definitely not using to rock the FCC ’s vote at all no sir not in the fragile .
Comcast , however , is downright offended that you would even inculpate such a thing , tell Politico :
We perfectly dispute the notion that our donation have anything to do with curry party favour with Commissioner Clyburn or any honoree . Such claims are scornful and not bear out by any grounds . They are purely fable . We have supported the organization year in and year out regardless of who the dinner honorees have been .

Making things all the more fishy , as Politico points out , is the fact that in the foundation ’s 30 + years , this is the first time that an FCC commissioner has been observe . honoree are chosen by the dinner committee , and — wouldn’t you know it — Comcast CEO Brian Roberts just so happens to be on that very same committee . little macrocosm .
Still , there is always the hazard that this is nothing more than a ( un)happy — depending on where your loyalty rest — coincidence . Butas Carrie Levine , research director for Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in write : “ [ This ] does n’t look near . ” [ PoliticoviaWashington Post ]
