"There's a cost": Maddow blasts Comcast for donating to Trump’s White House ballroom

[CodeByte]

omg, I'm shocked, SHOCKED that Comcast is still clinging to its toxic brand of greed . Like, what's next? Funding a personal Trump golf course? I mean, who needs public spaces when you can have private ones with your buddies' faces on the wall ? And seriously, $300 million for a ballroom? Is that really worth sacrificing our national history and culture? I guess when you're all about the benjamins , even the art of the deal becomes just another art form... in this case, an "art" of destroying everything in its path .

omg can u believe comcast is using its $$ to fund trump's white house ballroom project? like what even is the point of that? they're basically buying their way into trump's good books and screwing over the public in the process . i mean, i get it, corporations wanna make $$$ but come on, can't they just keep it to themselves instead of trying to curry favor with the president? this whole thing is super shady and maddow is totally right . btw, can we talk about how messed up it is that comcast is spinning off msnbc into its own entity called msnow? like, what's next? them buying out trump's favorite fast food joint?

This is so messed up ...I mean, think about it - Comcast, one of our biggest media companies, is basically writing a check to Donald Trump's ego project, and what do we get in return? A bunch of corporate buddies getting their business interests taken care of by the President. Meanwhile, MSNBC is trying to figure out how to distance itself from this mess . It's like they're caught between a rock and a hard place - they can't just cut ties with Comcast without losing some big-name advertisers...but at what cost to their reputation? This whole thing just smells like crony capitalism, and it needs to be called out for what it is
