Talk about information vomit.
QUOTE Comcast will not broadcast the Tampa Bay Rays baseball games on the Sun Sports network in SE Florida. They do broadcast the games in the SW Florida area, also in Tallahassee and Jacksonville. I thought this was an "encyclopedia", and thus the aim is to convey the important accumulated knowledge about the subject. I suppose I'm not allowed to edit the Comcast article in Wikipedia, right? |

The last three paragraphs of that section should be removed, shouldn't they? Or are we assuming that any time a cable or satellite company doesn't include a particular sports channel, that's definable as a "controversy"?
I mean, if there were a lawsuit or something over it, maybe then I could see it. Otherwise it's just angry customers using WP to "stick it to the man" - not quite as bad as BLP revenge-grabbing to be sure, but it's based on a similar impulse. |

In contrast, Halliburton doesn't even have such a heading. This is NPOV at work, though, Jimmy Wales assures me. Then again, Comcast is in no way affiliated with this Wikipedia biography, the way Halliburton is. Then, you've also got a rural guy sending Comcast a message on the Talk page, as if it's some kind of corporate Suggestion Box. ...sigh... |

Don't mess with broadcasting articles unless you may an infinite amount of patience. They seem to attract a large number of "special" editors. |
