Comcast-Time Warner Merge

(2/21/2014) One figure, it may make you think twice about Comcast-Time Warner merger deal. This is a news report from CNN about how this merger may impact consumers. 

I searched 'Comcast' on NBCNews.com (Comcast is NBC's parent company) today (several days after the merge deal surfaced), and this is what you get: nbcnews only has pure factual news reports about this merger, there is no any critical analysis about its impacts to many viewers and internet users.

Will Microsoft change its bad reputation as a series business spoiler? Well, let us see who will be the next CEO of Microsoft.

A Saks-Neiman Marcus Merger?

(5/23/2013) Will two high-end department stores, Saks Fifth Ave and Neiman Marcus, become one? Fierce competition makes merger look a good solution, but the brand management for two separate groups of consumers and store open-or-close after the merger is not a easy job.
