Description
Shortly after 3pm on Thurs March 3 a Republican Congressman named Adam Kinzinger made a
comment suggesting Mitt Romney perform fellatio on Donald Trump. He was sugges ting Trump had
implied this in his speech which could not be more untrue. To make things worse he was not rebuked
by the anchor. Two hours later Fox News commentators Greg Gutfeld and Juan Williams repeated
this disgusting attempt to defame someone they find unfavorable. These news networks must be held
responsible for what goes over their airwaves especially during the day. Many times it is their
employees that initiate profanity and vulgarity.

Fox News is always talking about the Ku Klux Klan, I find this offensive, is Fox News advo cating for
the Ku Klux Klan or is Fox News once again diverting attention away from their own crimes. Why
does Fox News never mention or discuss the fact that Fox News supported and advocated for the
fraudulent invasion of Iraq, an invasion which resulted in the needless deaths of tens of thousands of
Americans and Iraqis. Also, Fox News has no on-air American Indian personalities which coincides
with the fact that Fox News never mentions or discusses the American Indian Holocaust which was
perpetrated by the U.S. Government i.e. the Union Government.

This is a serious question: what can be done about Fox News? They're not reporting news; their
spreading hateful propaganda. I'd say put quotation marks around the word "News," but don't think
their viewers will catch the drift.
Since 2009, when Obama came into office, it has been a steady stream of vile racist hate speech.
And it looks like it's paying off for them. Gun sales have increased. Violence towards bl acks and
minorities has increased. And if you think you can't connect hate speech, then Dylan Roof is a good
example.
As I'm sure you know, Roof, who killed black churchgoers in Charleston, SC, was influenced by
conservative group linked to Republicans. Fox News is the de facto media outlet for the Republican
Party.
Please let me know what you think. Besides the unprecedented lack of respect given to a standing
President (not sure how it withstood it), Fox News is sickening and destroying this coun try.
Thanks for reading.

does Fox News keep talking about the Ku Klux Klan? Why doesn't Fox News talk about the
murderous Mossad and the murders the Mossad commits internationally? Why no mention of the
innocent Palestinian children killed by the Israeli Defense Forces? Why doesn't Fox News talk about
the innocent Vietnamese children that the U.S Government b ombed and napalmed? News Corp has
a history of hacking into peoples' computers and phones. Some odd things have been going on with
my computer as of late(slow speed, it was bad enough that I called Charter) and some odd things

taught me that some small number like 1694 was that was necessary to contact to gauge even a
sample size of the entire population of the United States of America. I don't believe that. Did you
know that there is a park called the Mesa Grande Cultural Park in Mesa that proves that the State of
Arizona has violated the Constitution of the United States of America? Tonight I saw in a video on
YouTube where Meghan McCain was on. She said that we, meaning her Dad and other people,
approved of the park. Do I take this to the FBI? What about the State of Arizo na that has violated the
Establishment Clause of the United States of America? This is the video Meghan McCain used.

Donald Trump was on MSNBC about a week ago I think. Warren Buffet had a short commercial and
then MSNBC showed Donald Trump's plane on the Tarmac and said he was in Nebraska. Donald
Trump pointed through the screen and said "Jeremie" I don't remember exactly. I think I remember
Donald Trump then saying "Point Back" I did. Thursday night FOX News had a guy on the Megyn
Kelly show who said "There is a Seek Heil" doing something different. I said Seek Heil back
sarcastically because I was pissed that he said that and I was hoping he'd realize the evil in his
statement. He didn't. This is more than disgusting, people including children see this and it's evil. It
might be Freedom of Speech but my vote is that we stop it immediately. It is hate speech. Thank You
for your service to the United States of America. Please have a good night.

Description
Any station or broadcaster that consider themselves and use or reference the term NEWS Must be
restricted to factual information only of at a minimum standard of at least 96%, failure to do so should
prohibit them from using the term NEWS, instead they must call themselves editorial networks,
stations, ect.. If they do fall into the news category, all editorials or opinions must be preceded and
followed by statements that it is not fact but editorial or opinion. On the FOX news analysis followi ng
the second republican presidential debate Rich Lowry stated that Carly cut off Donald Trump's
*$#&%@ with the skill of a surgeon. This language was meant to shock the viewer with no purpose
other than to shock and offend. FOX news knew of his perpensity toward vulgarity yet they
intentionally chose him. It is for this reason that I feel FOX should be fined and no longer permitted to
use the term news in their advertising, slogans, ect. On the CNN show Legal View with Ashleigh
Banefield yesterday, when she and a guest were discussing Trumps boycott of FOX her guest said
that news reporters can say whatever they want, once again this is not news but editorial. The FCC ,
in order to preserve at least some small bit of integrity and stop the slide of "news" programs into the
realm of pornography, must immediatly reestablish broadcasting restrictions and regulations.
I am a republican but I am not voting for any of the republican slate of cantidates, of the poor choices
we have I am currently supporting Bernie Sanders.

Description
I am voicing my outrage about this DISH NATION show! Why is this show still on the air! it was
announced before January that it would be canceled in The Houston area! I've tried to watch the
show, just to give it chance and I swear I cannot stomach it.
This show repeatedly ridicules, objectifies, and degrades women. Repeatedly has mostly African
American grown women having booty contest (airing in the middle of the day at 12:30 pm In The
Houston and surrounding area ) I have just become so disappointed at Ricky Smiley's comedy
leaning towards participating in this demeaning women compared to his more mainstream Christian
style that we all know a love. I was also disappointed at how Smiley chose to handle the situation
with a grown NFL player twitting his under-age daughter. all Smiley said was all I can do is talk to
her. I would expect any strong African American father to do exactly what Kevin Hart did in the Super
Bowl Commercial. Of course Smiley can do what he wants, but just saying. It seeme d like, Smiley
was putting all the responsibility on his under-age daughter instead of stepping up and publicly
correcting the grown man. And publicly being his daughter's protector. All of these individuals on this
show display the lowest and poorest representation of women, African Americans male and female,
and entertainers. Also that Head crack always wants to make fun of Geary, but Headcrack rarely
gets made fun of( and there is a lot of material to make fun of!!). Everybody should be made Fun of
since that seems to be what your shtick on this show? Instead it seems to be directed more heavily
at women and African Americans. Just take this trash off permanently!!! SERIOUSLY, it seems all of
society has put women, especially African American women back in the 50's and 60's where our roles
models are just suppose to be women who use their plastic bodies to trap the richest abuser they can
find. I even heard Martha Stewart on ET or Extra praising Mariah Carey because she's marrying the
richest man in the world. What kind of message is that to that send?
You would think putting more women in executives positions i.e. Station Producers and owners would
help instead they seems to stereotype women more than men (especially on the Fox News
networks). Here in Houston all the women anchors are competing over who has the tightest
skimpiest outfit, but the men are unattractive and old as dirt (especially the noon broadcast). Fox
News in Houston, even went as far, as doing a story on single women dating married men as if the
focus should be just on the women it should be on the married man and the women he's not married
to. Since you cannot find anything better to talk about, here is a suggestion. Start celebrating highly
educated women like Michelle Obam a who was successful in her own right before she became First
Lady. That's how you succeed in life and we need to get back to preaching that, not this fake fake
fake your way to the top!!!

Donald Trump is still refusing to appear on the Fox News Channel -- but apparently his self-imposed

night after National Review editor Rich Lowry appeared on Fox and used some rather, well, colorful
language to describe exactly how Carly Fiorina bested Trump at last week´s Republican presidential

Lowry said on The Kelly File. Host Megan Kelly was shocked. "You can´t say that!" she said, before

You would do very well to watch the Fox News coverage I did tonight (Wednesday Nov 18) and just
"listen" to the rhetoric both on the part of the anchors AND the guests concerning the President -Megan Kelly & Sean Hannity!! While I certainly believe in free speech ---- the vitriolic undermining of
this President as literally "a danger to the nation" simply invites every gun toting wing nut in America
to actually think they'd be doing us a favor by "offing" the President. Fox should at least be censure d
for this terrible terrible rhetoric before something disastrous happens!!

GRASPING AT STRAWS to keep viewers tuned in for RATING ISSUES INSTEAD OF ACCURATE
JOURNALISM. INCORRECT REPORTING OF FACTS. The reporter even asked the watchers
to"forgive all that" (a quote)-why? because it really didn't matter what HARM it did TO THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY- because this was a whale of a story that needed to be pathetically milked for all it's
worth. FOX NEWS isn't news - what happened was tragic- but the reporting was worse.
SENSATIONALISM OF VIOLENCE. You watch that 1.5hr clip and tell me if Walter Concrite wouldn't

City/State/Zip: Phoenix, Arizona 85029
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
While watching Fox News coverage of the Utah political protests on Megan Kelly's show on March
18th , I was completely agahst that the show had decided to air a argument between 2 Trump
supporters and a anti Trump supporter in which the protester repeatedly (twice ) clearly and loudly
shouted "that's the fucking point" with no attempt by Fox to censor this abusive and offensive
language.
Now I can understand that when news reports go "live" there is often no control over thoes who may
use this sort of language BUT... This was not the case on Mrs Kelly's program because the conflict
was pre- recorded from a "live feed, no sound" window at the bottom center left of the screen during
her interview with Jorge Ramos just minutes before Fox chose to air the (pre -recorded) profanity
laced conflict.
I must reiterate; this happened in a "no sound live feed" during her interview... Fox and Megan Kelly's
staff chose to air it uncensored minutes after it happened.
They had plenty of time and every opportunity to preview this confrontation and either "blee p out" the
offense language or use a different clip...
It was therefore purposeful and with complete disregard to the viewers and their families...
Please let me know if I need to do anything else to formally file this complaint.
I am truly sick of this.
Thank you for your time

Last evening (3/18) during the Megyn Kelly program, they continually broadcast protesters carrying
signs using the F-word. There seemed to be no effort to blur the offensive words or to redire ct their
cameras. Additionally, they said they were on a 7 second delay but then continually broadcast chants
including the F-word. Clearly if they were on a delay as Megyn indicated, it could have been
prevented. This occurred during the 8pm hour (central time).
This is very offensive and should have been addressed by the network. We had to hustle our
grandchildren out of the room once they began broadcasting this offensive language. This went on
for a period of time---maybe 15-20 minutes.

Hardly watch Fox news, maybe that is why Bill O'reilly this evening felt compelled to mak e a comment
while critiquing Cruz and his soft porn commercial -- "Debbie Does Spokane". This is the Republican
party in action -- just like "Debbie Does Dallas" to smear Tom Kent and his family in Fallon Nevada.
Now why do you think I went thru a name change from Debbie, Deborah Lipka to Teresa -- that is
because of Texas and Debbie Does Dallas, so now maybe Bill O'reilly will claim that Tom Kent and
Eleanor Kent were communist because Ellie Kent's father came from Cuba and my mother was
Portuguese. Do you get where I am going with this comment. Why doesn't Bill O'reilly and the
Republican party air "Good Night and Good Luck" to show the roots of the Republican mindset -- I
guess only people of Bill O'Reilly's nationality is patriotic americans. I hard ly watch Fox news. I say
that I turned on my equipment, comcast here at this apartment complex and they knew I was on Fox
news. Now, why do I end up over here at River Run Spokane, is that so Bill O'reilly and friends can
continue harassing me because they know when I turn on comcast equipment or is it apple computer.
Tell Bill O'reilly I never starred in "Debbie Does Dallas", a porn movie and tell the Republicans and
their Christian values out of Colorado Springs its not Christian, and its dishonest and might cause
animosity towards the United States of America. So why are you Republicans access my living
environment here in Spokane, Good Night and Good Luck Bill O'reilly. And Take your Fox news ads

Claiming to report the news, Fox News continues to promote divisive programming that pits one
culture against the other in an attempt to improve its ratings. Shows such as Megyn Kelly's "The Kelly
File", Sean Hannity's "The Sean Hannity Show", Bill O'Reilly and "Th e O'Reilly Factor", and especially
"Fox & Friends" use their platforms to demean a culture of people with mischaracterizations of their
attitudes, aptitudes, and behavior. Their offensive behavior only serves to divide a country that is
already struggling with issues of race, immigration, poverty, and education. Instead of informing us of
news worthy to be reported, the continually seek to divide the citizens of America.

India, who are friends with Bobby Jindal so they all can commit election fraud. Rupert and Roger Ails
also has people raped and brag about it besides many other fraudently false imprisonments that can
only be compared to Hitler Concentration Camps. They have been doing this stuff for over 10 years
and have caused 1 billion a month in storm and earthquake damage in doing a "12 Years a Slave in

any paid off asshole they can find who is a criminal or a crooked politician. My family is sick and tired
of this stuff and we want these men prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law for their continual
media fraudently game. We want my family left alone in peace, and when we want doctors, it will not
be crooks or terrorists that Rupert Murdoch and Roger Ails have picked out to falsely imprison us yet
again and do international war crimes to us yet again. Thank you and the FBI and United Nations is
hearing about this matter every week for years now. Please get these men prosecuted and stopped

Fox News & 3 Fox Anchors, Megyn Kelly, Chris Wallace & Brett Bair were moderators in the
Presidential debate they held. Together, they conspired to ambush one of the candidates in the
debate. The motive was to humiliate the candidate & cause him to lose voters. Debasing questions
were asked to Donald Trump votes beginning with the first question. Every question aske d to
Donald Trump were humiliating statements turned into questions. Then they skipped over Trump &
asked all the other candidates valid questions pertaining to Presidential issues, as if Trump was
unqualified to even ask the question.
1. Details available in the recorded video of the debate.
2. An official who was on set during rehearsals has recounted that when Megyn Kelly practiced the
questions she was to ask Trump, a producer told her that “he’ll go berserk.” Kelly reportedly smiled
smugly, since that is actually what she wanted to happen.
In spite of this unethical conduct, Megyn Kelly had the audacity to go on TV and Lie. She blamed
Donald Trump & refused to apologize for what she called "Good Journalism."
BRIAN WILLIAMS WAS FIRED JUST FOR LYING.
It’s sickening that the Fox moderators went into this debate planning to ambush Trump.
This was a conspiracy to manipulate voters in a Presidential Election.
It's deceptive, underhanded & unprofessional.
At minimum, it's a violation of an ethical code of conduct.

My complaint is that networks are covering Donald Trump as a news item because he is using
theatrics to gain attention. The quote of "news coverage" is extended by the networks to Mr. Trump
with questions and answers that cover times as long as 10 minutes. Fox has extended coverage to
Trump by calling the coverage a" News Special " . Tonight 2/22/2016 at 10:00 PM Sean Hannity on
the FOX network gave Donald Trump one hour of coverage and called it "Election Coverage".
This is one of several infraction.

The captioning is abomimable. YOU try it for the 10 pm news.
CAptioning lags the voice so badly that it is worse that useless. It in totally frustrating. And then,
captioning itself is terrible. Common words are butchered, even names of local places, Gaps
appear in the text, where they simply skip the captioning. And, so say my wife and daughter, the
captioner often modifies what is said verbally when he captions.
My daughter wrote the letter below to the station. Good luck.
Dan
Letter to Ch 13, no response:
I am writing to inform you that whatever or whoever you are using to caption your broadcasts is
atrocious in the extreme. I recently attended a live event which was captioned in real time, and the
captioning was anywhere from a partial word to 2 words behind the speaker, with zero misspellings,
wrong words, omissions, or mistakes of any kind.
Tonight, like most nights, I compared that performance with Q13 Fox News' captioning, and I can tell
you that your service lags several sentences behind the newscaster at least, is often so far off in word
choice that: 1. what prints on the screen is complete nonsense -- not even a wrong sentence, but
words strung together without meaning, and 2. I, as a hearing person, cannot determine which of the
newscasters' words, 20 seconds previous, the captioning is supposed to represent.
The really frustrating aspect of all this is that you already have the entire newscast in digital print
format; the newscasters are reading from a teleprompter!
I suggest that you, and by that I mean several people from different departments at Q-13, sit down
together and try to watch an entire news broadcast without the sound, just captioning. With t hat
experience of what it's like for someone who can't hear the newscasters fresh in your mind, then try to
watch one with the sound AND the captions, while you try to relate what you hear to what you read.
I further suggest that, and I don't know if it is, but IF captioning is a service that the ADA requires you
to provide for the deaf and hearing-impaired, then you are in violation of the ADA with the captioning
that you provide. There is no way that throwing nonsense words and sentences on the screen co uld
possibly be construed as providing captioning.
The skilled captioners and technology exist and are readily available. There is no excuse for your
captioning to be useless to those whom it is supposed to serve.

While driving and listening to the radio, it always disturbs me to hear radio commercials which include

emergency vehicle and the siren sound being used in an audio broadcast or satellite commercials. It
makes sense to prohibit the use of sirens in audio broadcast/satellite commercials as it may: 1) create
the opportunity for vehicle collisions as drivers slow or pause to locate the origin of the siren sound;
and 2) desensitize drivers to the sound of sirens of emergency vehicles and the need to pu ll over for
them. Thank you for your consideration.

Description
On Fox Network the news network the Closed Captioning is very faulty and almost incomprehensible.
I have a hearing difficulty and on every network channels that I wa tch the Closed Captioning is quite
good. On Fox Network all day long it is very faulty. The words for instance “The” or “It” are usually
misspelled or gibberish and when I switch to other channels the Closed Captioning is pretty perfect
but only on Fox it is mainly gibberish. - JM

""The equal-time rule specifies that U.S. radio and television broadcast stations must provide an
equivalent opportunity to any opposing political candidates who request it. This means, fo r example,
that if a station gives one free minute to a candidate in prime time, it must do the same for another
candidate who requests it. The equal-time rule was created because the FCC thought the stations
could easily manipulate the outcome of elections by presenting just one point of view, and excluding
other candidates. ""
Question: how is it that certain candidates get their whole gatherings covered while others are
ignored...
how is it that a certain candidate can phone in for a useless chat to num erous TV, Cable, & Radio
while other candidates are ignored
how is it that a certain candidate has received countless hours of free air time while other candidates
are ignored
It is obvious this year, this election season the "equal -time" rule has been ignored or just given lip
service....

Description
In today's world we live in a society able to access more information than humans have ever had
access to. While there's 1000 new news apps, websites, and twitter accounts designed to deliver
people information every day, we still look to the familiar names to decide on what we think is true
and what we think is false. CNN, NBC, and Fox News have cornered the market as the news
organizations able to weather this storm, and by doing so, they seem to be the most familiar news
source to a lot of people. But imagine one or all of these news organizations are reporting in a
manner to disregard the truth journalism is suppose to expose and instead twist stories with
irrelevant, false, and vindictive information designed to sway public opinion towards their own beliefs.
This or these organizations are morally corrupting America and reporting false information mostly
regarding certain religious or political factions. Since below I have to cite a certain channel, I will shift
the focus of my com plaint over to Fox News. They're infamous for the lies they tell and for publicly
doing the bidding of the republican party. I have no quarrel with republicans, however the news is not
the place for that. Also the purposeful negative tone taken towards Mus lims is 100 percent
unacceptable in today's society. Just to site a few examples, this article describes and provides a
video of Fox purposely using an irrelevant video from 2011 to create a negative depiction of Muslims,
all the while claiming they're not doing exactly what they are doing.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/9/28/1425732/-Watch-John-Oliver-Bust-Fox-News-For-FalsifyingRefugee-Video. On the FCC website, it says that content falls under the category of prohibited if, "The
material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value." If fake news
doesn't fall under this catagory then I dont know what else does. These people are repected as
newsman by the public who don't know any better between what they're being told and the the truth.
These lies have no value, and need to be stopped. Please FCC, whoever happens to come across
this, please don't disregard this complaint.

regulation on the internet. The number of scam artists trolling the internet is exhausting. I work in

I am amazed that only the Fox News cable channel is carrying this week's first GOP Presidential

have access to the Fox News channel - especially OTA (off the air) only homes - or do not subscribe
to Fox News channel. Shouldn't national interest events like this be broadcast in a manner that will
give access to the largest number of American viewers? Shouldn't these debates be broadcast by the

I request Ralph Peters be banned from the air, permanently. And Fox News Pay a steep and heavy
fine for their transgressions. It is inexcusable for a network on the air as a privileged basically engage
subversive activity. Subversion is not a protected speech. Nothing about Peters history or

Fox News' Sean Hannity has been claiming without evidence that the terrible murder of a police

First Amendment rights to protest, endangers the public and violates the terms of broadcast licenses.
The FCC must revoke Fox's license for that sake of public safety and civil peace. I am not a member
of the protest group but I will not stand by silently as Fox News creates chaos by abusing its
privileges as a broadcast corporation, in a desperate and completely heinous attempt to gain ratings.

One Thursday, August 6, 2015 Fox News broadcast two debates featuring republican contenders
running for the office of president of the United States. I was waiting wi th anticipation only to realize
twice that Fox News had chosen to air the debates on the Fox News Channel. I can only assume this
is a cable or satellite channel as the debates did not on my television which receives over -the-air
broadcasts.
I became angry at being excluded from the opportunity of listening to the candidates and being able
to become informed regarding positions on a variety of topics. I am also disenfranchised with the FCC
for permitting Fox from not making those debates available to ALL voters in this country. FOX is a
major, foreign-owned broadcast network which was permitted to make an arbitrary decision to select
an audience that had the resources to watch on a more financially rewarding outlet for the
broadcaster.
I would challenge the FCC to instruct FOX to replay the debates on over-the-air television thereby
affording all voters the opportunity heretofore reserved for those who could afford to watch. They
should appear on the same days and time schedule the original debates were aired.

terrorism. It was six hundred and some days. This has gotten ridiculous. I have heard from them on
FOX News that I was going to be the next President of the United States of America. I heard it today
from Marco Rubio. I was at the Secretary of State's office of Arizona Thursday. The Republicans
plan to pick their Nominee at their Convention. What we are watching n ow is bull. They are just lying
to us. I'm not willing to be anyone's nominee for President of the United States. I've thought about
running for House of Representatives as a Democrat, but Arizona has a Tammany Hall like political
machine. I don't know if the Democrats do it too. I don't trust these people. I found out on the 7th
floor on the 7th of Janurary that there is a Preference election. Now I'm seeing Preference election on
Fox News. Did someone report that here? I can't sit in my underwear comfortably in my living room. I
can't get undressed and be naked in my living room with my TV on. It's an Illegal Search that violates
everyone's Constitution of the United States of America 4th Amendment Bill of Rights. It also violates
the Constitution of the United States guarantee of our Right to Privacy. Terriorism? Communisim?
There is no justification for the Federal Government doing this to us. There are surveillence

medically correct words, it is still quite disturbing for young children and teenagers to hear. Words
that are used are:
ERECTION
SEX
INTERCOURSE
Looking at the internet, there have been multiple complaints about these ads --seriously, since it is a
prescribed drug, they should only target the physicians who would prescribed them and not the
general public which involved a lot of children.
Please do your job in banning these ads --they are so indecent and repulsive. It is highly

I have discovered that DishTV is substituting (blocking) ads on numerous cable channels with specific

The DishTV has blocked many commercials from outlets like Fox News, HGTV, Discovery channel,
and this was discovered recently due to a flaw in the DishTV receiver which reveals the true content
verses the inserted content. Usually the substitute ad was for MSNBC or an ad specific to the
Democratic party, but I have noticed certain local ads to Maine have been seen as well.
This is a flagrant offense of not only commercial contract laws, but also a bias p resentation of TV
material which is a defiant slap in the face of FCC rules as well as contract law by the cable provider
DishTV.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
TimeWarner (CNN News), 21st Century Fox (Fox News), National Amusements Inc (CBS News),
and more are contributors towards Hillary Clinton's election.
When I see every online poll saying one thing, but news stations saying another, I find that
disturbing and contradictory.
How can the FCC allow these programs to call themselves "news" when they are obviously
manipulating the public?
We see it. It was highly noticed by the citizens of America. And we want change. No loop holes.
Please do something about this. Or I may have to go to a smaller local news to spread our story of
lies and deceit while highlighting the FCC's failure to act. That's not a threat, that's a promise of
getting it done.
Please do something.

Description
Sirius satellite radio has dropped C-Span from its satellite broadcast list, making it only available on
the Internet. The C-Span channel was filled by Fox News. which ---- unlike C-Span ----- has a
pronounced political spin and has advertisements. Siri us' FCC application touted the fact that it
would have little advertising. As a result of this few -ads policy I had my car equipped with a satellite
radio and bought a special home receiver. My main interest in C -Span stems from the fact that it
offered recordings of Supreme Court arguments and congressional hearings and debates. Alas my
investment was a waste of money ----- unless these subjects will be carried on the still-existing CSpan channels for Korea or Canada .

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
What good are disclaimers when they are run at a speed that makes them completely unintelligible. I
hear this happen often on Sirius XM Satellite channels as well as on national networks such as Fox
News and even on local radio (KRMG in Tulsa, for instance). Even disclaimers in television
commercials are broadcast in a font too small to read, and not left up long enough to read them, even
if one could decipher the small text.
The Commission should either waive the requirement for disclaimers or enforce making them
intelligible to listeners or viewers.
I worked in the industry 12 years. During that time we never has this kind of thing going on, and even
had to identify opinion (when given). The airways are overwhelmed with opinion these days (much of
it unsubstantiated, and unidentified as such. I would be embarrassed to work in broadcasting today.

Ticket: # 796142 - Indecent Hate Speech
Date: 2/6/2016 2:47:38 PM
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
Often, indecent or obscene speech is associated with foul language. However, indecency or
obscenity as I understand is defined as that which is so counter to society's standards of behavior or
propriety as to be deemed offensive and unacceptable. Our nation is a nation of migrants and
refugees, where respecting individual liberty and freedom of religion is a bedrock principle of our
society. On FOX News' show 'Outnumbered', on February 3rd, the settling of migrants and refugees
was described as an 'infes tation'. Such a characterization paints a vulnerable population, one that is
so honored by our society's history, as parasites not unlike an infestation of rats. I have difficulty
assessing such language as anything but obscene and indecent. Six weeks a go, my wife and I were
blessed with our first child who we chose to name Muhammad. On the same FOX News program
'outnumbered' of February 3rd, it was suggested that a person of that name, even when shown to
have no criminal history, should be barred from entering our country solely based on his name (or
presumed religion). I, as a citizen of the United States of America, have tremendous difficulty seeing
this kind of speech as anything but hateful, indecent, obscene and unbecoming of our nation. In my
humble judgment, it is not among the classes of speech protected by the first amendment of our
constitution, and this broadcaster deserves sanction. If hateful speech is not addressed, labeled and
sanctioned as indecent, I fear it will only grow more hatefu l and more indecent. When such speech is
allowed to echo in our society, without sanction, the decency of our society itself will be tarnished and
the fabric of our nation will begin to fray. Please help to maintain the fabric and decency of our nation
by sanctioning this broadcaster for their obscene speech. Thank you most kindly for your attention
and consideration.
Apologies for the lack of accuracy in show timing. Here's a link to the relevant clip from the show:

Description
They got a letter from Cox saying that they needed to have these boxes to receive service since they
are going digital. They took a trip to Cox and got the boxes. They did not work. They called Cox and
were told to go get more boxes which they did. So they called and sent a technician out who got 2 of
3 boxes working but found out that they were not getting all the channels that they pay for. They
called Cox again and were told that if they want Fox News and the History channel they would have
to upgrade the boxes for an additional fee to get the services that they were paying for originally.
This has resulted in the bill rising by $30/month for just the basic service. Our daughter(b) (6)
and my wife (b) (6)
can discuss this complaint. Resolutions: We would like the extra
$30/month charge reduced as much as possible or have the option to purchase our own boxes.

Description
We have been having channels cut from our service for some time now with no explanation. My wife
ran into one of the employees of Satview today and she asked him about our missing channels. He
informed her that the owner has decided to block certain chan nels that he doesn't politically agree
with. my understanding is that it is illegal to block a channel that your customers are paying for simply
because you disagree with it's politics or any other reason. They also don't answer the phones during
business hours. If you need to have them write a work order, you need to go down to the office and
do it in person. This is no way to run a cable and internet providing company. We also have internet
with Satview. If we don't soon start getting all the channels we are paying for and start getting better
customer service, we are going to satellite and another internet provider.
The latest channels being blocked are:
042 FNC Fox New Channel

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I live in Elko, Nevada and have had Satview Broadband since 3 -2012. They are based out of Reno,
Nevada. I am greatly disappointed in the service for about a year now. They are continuing to drop
channels for a plethora of reasons. 1. They dropped Fox News for their political views. That is not up
to Satview to do that. 2. We only have 1 network channel which is CBS Reno now. When I first got
Satview we had ABC - Reno & Salt Lake, CBS - Reno & Salt Lake, NBC Reno & Salt Lake and Fox Salt Lake. They have all been changed to channels I have never even heard of. That contain old
shows and cop/detective shows. HGTV was deleted, GAC was deleted, ESPN 2 was deleted, Mtn
sports network was deleted, and please keep in mind we were never informed of any of these
changes beforehand they just disappeared. All the while our bill was continuing to increase. I called
regarding these issues and they basically told me they were not willing to do anything for me. Also
their website is grossly misleading. Their channel lineup is completely outdated and still show
channels that I stated above that we haven't had since last summer. Its tough when you live in a small
town and there is only 1 cable company. I also have called in the past for channels being out for
weeks at a time with no monetary compensation. Thank you for your time.

Description
A few weeks back Fox News claimed that Microsoft Outlook accounts got hacked. Now Microsoft
email accounts are extremely difficult to recover passwords. I'm trying to recover my
password. I don't have the(b) (6)
phone number that is on re cord with
(b) (6)
them. I changed my on record phone number to another one. They say it takes 30 days to replace
my security info. I changed my password like 6 weeks ago. It took them 30 days the same way to
make the change. Now I don't remember that password. I just tried to change it again to get in. They
need to text my old phone number, which I don't have. So now I have to wait 30 days to update my
phone number, so I can send it a verification code text and get my password changed. I can't get into
any outlook accounts. It might also be Microsoft retailating on me for reporting their Peyton Manning
story about HGH and Al Jazerra making up news. I'm back on Cox, so I'm going to get one of those
when I can figure it out. I am having challenges there too.

I am sick and tired of the my tv blasting the commercials! Everything local channel does the same
thing...the program we're watching is at a nice comfortable sound level and as soon as the
commercial comes on BAM-3 times as loud and I'm constantly having to reach for the remote to turn
it down and then reach for it again when the program resumes to turn it back up! My husband gets so
ticked off at me. I remember noticing a difference when that law went into effect a few years ago, bu t
it certainly didn't last and honestly I would have complained sooner but didn't know how or where to. I
just happened to find this link! Something more should be done, it's bad enough we have to pay
outrageous cable prices but we own the tv and should ha ve more control of a simple feature like
volume. That SHOULD NOT be something that can be overridden by technology for businesses. It's
on every local station, WDIV,WXYZ, etc. and cable stations like Fox news or Fox sports. There isn't
one single station. It's horrible! And it's mostly after 5 p.m. when we're watching news or tv or anytime
of day on the weekends.

City/State/Zip: Ontario, California 91764
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
My local Verizon Fios keeps cutting back into most cable programs in progress due to a 1:00 weight
reduction commercial by a company called Sonobello. I have missed at least 2 touchdowns being
scored on ESPN during the past 8 weeks because of this commercial. I have contacted Verizon Fios
& explained it to too many people on several phone calls. Here are a sampling of programs that have
been "clipped" returning from a commercial break: Into the Badlands on AMC, Agent X on TNT,
Monday Night Football on ESPN, cable news networks (CNN, MSNBC & Fox News), home
improvement programs on FYI, HGTV & diy networks. My thought is that this company paid for a 30
second commercial, provided Verizon Fios a 60 second commercial to which Verizon Fios felt
responsible to air, but did not accomodate the local break to just 60 s econds, but rather 90 seconds causing interruption of my viewing only when this one particular commercial airs. Verizon Fios refuses
to correct this problem & also refuses me a refund due to my unhappiness to this matter. It is
extremely frustrating having almost all my cable programs being clipped by their inability to fix this
problem.

Description
Consumer did not receive a copy of TWC's December 2015 letter from ticket # 501114. I read a
portion of that to him, and am sending out a copy. The consumer is questioning a statement on his
current TWC bill: "TWC proposes subscriber charges to cover the costs of complying with its
governmental obligations" - he does not know what this statement means to him. The consumer also
has concerns with having to rent a digital convertor box for $8.99/month from TWC, when he is
allowed to purchase and use his own equipment. Previously, the consumer was given info from an
FCC rep on the option of getting a Roku device. With a Roku device, it will get him 300 channels,
however, he will not be able to view CNN or FOX News. TWC states, in their November 2015
response, which the consumer did receive, that they must decline the use of his equipment. The
consumer states that TWC did not look at his equipment, so how can they decline the use of it? The
consumer is also wondering why (in 2012-2013) he was able to get TV for a year and four months all the channels, the best picture, the best sound - without a digital box? I have read some of the
FCC info to the consumer on the use of consumer purchased, set-top boxes and the use of a
CableCARD from TWC. He has stated that he does not feel that he should have to purchase and use
a TWC CableCARD with his own device. Please review this situation. Thank you. (phone - CAMS

Program by Charter and Time Warner Merger and Acquisition
Date: 11/22/2015 7:40:38 PM
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
In recent decades 90% of the American media became controlled by six large media corporate
groups. Many news details are not fully or fairly reported in the American News Media showing
abuse of their dominant market position, bias towards interests and agenda contrary to principles
and values that made this a Great Nation. Several news aspects go unreported and often I have to
seek foreign news sources to gain more insights and this sho uld not be necessary as we have more
Radio, TV Stations and Cable Channels than any other nation in the face of the Earth. My complaint
is very simple. I want to file a complaint with a petition to not allow Time Warner and Charter Merger
and Acquisition to drop and censor in any way programming from American One Network (AON), a
family owned media company, which promotes American values, love and respect for the principles
and values that made this a Great Nation. Censorship and punishment of AON because of AON's
views and news' media coverage supported and consumed by their faithful viewers. As a result of this
media concentration I am a witness of Fox News and Fox Broadcasting programming being taken out
of the air by affiliates of US American media groups (top six) controlling media in foreign countries.
These are cases of a shameful censorship cases and should not be tolerated and accepted as they
compromise our ability to have access to unbiased, broadly researched and thorough news reporting
coverage .

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
On Tuesday, October 13th, CNN hosted the first 2016 Democratic Primary Debate. A number of
news outlets hosted polls and focus groups to determine who the American people believed won the
debate.
Bernie Sanders won the CNN focus group, the Fusion focus group, and the Fox News focus group.
He also won the Slate online poll, the CNN online poll, Time's onli ne poll, and polls conducted by
9News Colorado, The Street, Fox5, the conservative Drudge Report, and the liberal Daily KOS.
Meanwhile, the mainstream media is declaring Hillary Clinton as the winner of Tuesday's debate.
While countless news outlets are engaging in dishonest and deceitful reporting, no one is deserving
of greater blame than CNN. CNN deleted their online poll that showed Bernie Sanders as the winner
of the debate (with a very strong lead over Hillary Clinton) and proceed to report that Hilla ry held that
position.
CNN is owned by Time Warner -- and Time Warner is the 7th largest financial backer of Hillary
Clinton's campaign.
CNN also edited the debate, cutting out half of Bernie Sanders's statement on Hillary's e -mails leaving intact the "damn e-mails" comment and leaving out his attack on the failure of mainstream
media to address the real issues that face this country.
As if things couldn't get worse from there, CNN proceeded to shut down Bernie2016tv for sharing the
unedited version of the debate.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I'd like to file a complaint against CNN for editing the footage of the publicly televised democratic
debate in an effort to spin Hillary Clinton as the wi nner since their parent company Time-Warner is a
major campaign contributor of hers. As a news media outlet they are beholden to the American public
to report the news in a fair and unbiased fashion. This violates that premise. Also repressing their
own poll on facebook which clearly showed Bernie Sanders as the winner is reprehensive in and of
itself. Additionally since the broadcast was released over the internet and tv as a free public
broadcast that puts the entirity of the broadcast into the realm of public domain. Their attacks on
several private youtube channel feeds that have resulted in their shutdown over re -airing the debate
in its entirity are repugnant and immoral and not to be characteristic of an unbiased news outlet
responsible to the American people for informing them of the real events. If they want to tell half truths
and fictions based on their political leanings and investments perhaps it would be proper to require
them to remove the word "News" from their network name. Same goes for Fo x News.

they changed me from basic cable to "Starter tv" which only has local programming. This isn't fair. I
don't have any other provider options since my house is surrounded by trees and att dsl isn't offered

I have been a CenturyLink customer for many years. I have had a CenturyLink prism bundle that was
going to expire in January. So I called customer service on 11/23/2015 and told Ariel that I wanted to
downgrade everything to the lowest price possible and still keep the FOX News channel in my TV
lineup. After being on the phone with her for a long time, partly because she had to talk with a
supervisor, she said that the new monthly fee was going to be $120.68 for two years.
When I received my January statement, it was for $152.37, so I called customer service on 1/29/2016
and told Chandler that there was a problem with my bill. After placing me on hold for a while, he said
that he saw Ariel’s notes and that she must have made some mistake because he did not see
anything about $120.68. He also told me that some discount was expiring and my new monthly bill
was actually going to be $162.37. If one of your reps made a mistake, it is not my fault.
CenturyLink’s web site says “If you are not satisfied with the resolution of your issue after contacting
one of our Customer Service Centers or one of our Customer Experience Centers, please email us at
CenturyLink Customer Relations.” So I did e-mail them but received a reply to call them, which I did. I
spoke with Lorraine that told me that she could get my monthly bill down to $132.37 (with tax) but
only for one year.
I would like a refund of the overcharge for January and I want my bill to be what was stated by the rep
- $120.68 for two years.

States of America.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
Why hasn't MSNBC been investigating why the Pope gave a message, a mini -Catholic Mass to the
Congress of the United States of America? Is President Obama protecting something? Is President
Obama impeachable for that? Why did former Speaker of the House of Representatives John
Bohenor resign? Was he impeechable for that? If so, then former Speaker of the House John
Bohener committed a crime against the United States of America and if so the United States
Marshalls or the Federal Bureu of Investigation need to go question him. If John Bohener refuses,
their are laws on the books that allow suspects of a crime to be taken into Police Custody. Use those
Laws. Donald Trump is right, The United States of America is a Nation of Laws. If John Bohener is
guilty of violting the Constitution of the United States of America then he deserves jail time. If a Jury
determines that John Bohener committed treason against the United States of America, then he may
deserve the Death Penalty. If President Barak Hussain Obama is guilty of violating the Constitution
of the America and if he is found guilty by a Jury then h e deserves jail time too, and may deserve the
Death Penalty too. I pray to God that President Obama has not comitted this crime. I care about
President Barak Hussain Obama, his friends, and his family a great deal and this would hurt me and
my friends and family an aweful lot. It would make my Social Security Representative Payee and her
husband, my Dad happy.
There is only 1 President of the United States at a time. Only ONE. Former President George Bush,
II violated the Constitution of the United States of America when he signed into Law the Patriot Act.
The Constitution of the United States of America guarantees everyone who lives on the United States
of America's soil or incorporated water - People in Oregon live on the Columbia River - , the Right to
Privacy and a Woman's Right to Choose to have an abortion or not to have an abortion. Why did
Chris Matthews declare with glee that he is a Catholic on National Television, that is too expensive for
everyone to afford? Are we protecting Chris Matthews because he worked for Former President
William Jefferson Clinton? Lenna Kuurmaa and I want Hillary Clinton to win the White House too, but
if the reason that MSNBC and Chris Matthews are not doing there jobs has anything to do with
politics and not wanting to make Hillary Clinton's husband's former aid look bad, then it needs to stop.
Any person in elected or appointed office is impeachable for that. Why is MSNBC is not investigating
why Congress was allowed to try to establish the Catholic Religion as a n official Religion of the
United States of Amercia, then we need to pursue impeachment of President Obama. Why isn't FOX
News investigating this? I saw the Pope doing something, on FOX News on my Social Security
Representative Payee's sewing room's Television set on FOX News. I couldn't get her to stop
watching it and get her talk with me. I didn't bother with CNN. I couldn't get the Pope off my TV.
Where was the Federal Communication Comission that day? President Barak Hussain Obama went
to St. Francis Assisi Catholic School. Did President Barak Hussain Obama do anything that allowed
Pope Francis' to speak inside the Capitol Building of the United States of Amercia, and to anyone in
earshot from the backside of the Capital Building of the United State s of America? Then he needs to
ask Vice President Joeseph Robinette Biden, Jr. for a Pardon, and resign his Elected Position. Vice
President Joeseph Robinette Biden, Jr. is Catholic too right? Did Vice President Joeseph Robinette
Biden, Jr. do anything to enable Pope Francis' crimes against the United States of America. There
isn't anyone to Pardon the Vice President Joesph Robinette Biden, Jr.
You need to keep reading and get this to President Barack Obama. I haven't decided what I'm going
to do with his information. All I'm could be guilty of is comitting a sin against the God of Isreal God
Almighty, but I know that I'm saved by the sacrifice the Lord Jesus the Christ made, if I don't do
anything else with this. I'm not promising anything. I not promising that I will not go to the Official
Arizona Office for the 5th Federal Congressional House of Representative District of my House of
Representative Matt Salmon and give him this information. I don't know what I'm going to do yet. I
know what a conscience is.
On the Late Show with Stephen Colbert on the Columbia Broadcasting System there was a Catholic
Choir singing one of my favorite Three Dog Night songs "Joy to the World." A word in the lyrics was
changed. It was gross. Did Three Dog Night get payed for that, or did the Columbia Broadcasting
System steal from that musical artist like they did from Vanilla Ninja too!? Were they too busy keeping
Citizens of the United States of America out of buildings owned by anyone who pays taxes to the
Federal Government of the United States of America. I tried to tell you that day I visited the FCC on
12 St S.W. that ESPN and Stanford were doing something to make Christian McCaffrey win the
Heisman Trophy. I was kept on the outside, and look what happened. Christian McCaffrey finished
third in balloting for the Heisman Trophy and so is now guaranteed a gigantic paycheck from the
National Football League. What about Keenany Reynolds? Did he get discriminated against
because Kennan Reynold volunteerd to fight and risk his life to Support and Defend the Constitution
of the United States of America, because Nissan will have to wait at least FIVE years before they can

think that just because General McArthur led the rebuilding of Japan, that all those Japanese
companies Support and Defend the Constitution of the United States of America? Really, Mr.
President you abridge my rights to protest outside the front doo r of the Federal Communication
Commission with strong armed security guards. I'm very very close to visiting my Congressional
House of Representative, finding where Senator Jeff Flake's office is, and Senator John McCain's
office is. Senator McCain was a Prisoner of War in Vietnam while Supporting and Defending the
Constitution of the United States of America. I'd follow him back into battle.
If I move to Estonia, I might drive to Italy, find a Fiat Dealer and order a Dodge RAM.
I'm pissed. My Social Security Representative Payee has gotten stronger since the Pope visited and
Spoke to a Joint Session of Congress. My Social Security Representative Payee this week told me
that I was crazy because I was trusting Jesus to take care of my financial problems . The Bible did
once say that you can't please God without Faith. It was written by Paul and was in the Book of
Romans. The Social Security Administration prohibits my right to freely exercise my choosen
religion.http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/bill_of_rights_transcript.html
President Obama is impeachable for continuing allow the Social Security Administration to violate my
right to freely execise my choosen religion. I've reported this fraud often to the Social Security
Administration Website. I've told the Social Security Administration several times that I'm not
disabled. On the phone and on that website. I wasn't allowed by President Obama's security to go
inside the building where the Social Security Administration. President Obama claims that he is
about Transparancy, but I drove around for days trying to figure out what building the SSA is in. The
Security at the Wilbur J Cohen building lied and told me that the Social Security Administration was
not in that building. President is also impeachable because President Barak Hussain Obama
endorses the elimination of everyone else to freely exercise the religion they choose to have or
choose not to have. It has been months and not a single person

Description
My computer has been hacked. I have to struggle to keep data safe. I put things on a Thumb Drive a
Data Traveler 2.0 by Kingston. There are folders on that drive that I did not create. I have not
stopped working, but I am expecting that there is someone else here in Arizona watching the same
TV I watch. There is no way that I can report on all the channels on TV. Did Russia actually try to
invade the Ukraine? Is it true that the United Kingdom is keeping Jewish (there word) immigrants out?
Is it true that two Air France flights were diverted last night one to Halifax Nova Scotia and the other
to Utah? Is it true that President Obama cut his visit to Utah short because he was afraid that he
would get assassinated? CBS 5 Phoenix reported that last one. The anchor then was Cathryn
Ananya. One night the guy that is on that show now told me that something I was looking for in my
living room was behind me. When I found it, I discovered that he was right. I saw that on MSNBC.
MSNBC talked about the Super Bowl. I'll get into it later. I mean it should be obvious to anyone who
watched the same version I did that their was fraud. Like it supported Organized Crime. The Mormon
religion is organized crime. Smiths is an ugly phrase. I don't think Kenny Smith is Mo rmon. I doubt
that Adrian Smith is too. They are all Mormons because they worship a demon named Moroni. Now
some how France, the NFL, MSNBC, FOX News, CNN are tied into diverting our attention to terroism
overseas. France might simply be a victim, but there is no truth on my TV. I have to watch live
broadcasts only. I don't trust in stories any more. I'm getting tired of doing this alone.

MSNBC keeps failing to investigate Congress' crime against the United States of America, when
Congress allowed The Catholic Pope to violate "the separation of church and state." When MSNBC
was reporting on the Pope and showed video of him standing AND TALKING INTO A MICROPHONE

beeming. Yet he still won't talk about "the separation of church violation." Rachel Maddow is Catholic,
she said so, as I remember it. Rachel Maddow couldn't hide her happiness MSNBC reported that
The Pope was inside an American Airlines jet, 757? The Flag that represents The United States of
America was flying out the left window of the plane and the flag that represents the Vatican was flying
out the right window of the American Airlines jumbo jet. It was in a New York City airport? Was it at
JFK at least? I hope that it was, but MSNBC did not talk about John F. Kennedy . I don't know what
airport The Catholic Pope landed at in New York, New York . The Pope then did had Mass at
Madison Square Garden. This was all over Fox News too. I wanted some news. How can I as a
voter in Arizona going to be able on First Tuesday November 2016 going to make an informed

City/State/Zip: Katy, Texas 77449
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I am a subscriber of AT&T DSL. The firm has blocked access of sports events as well as key political
debates unless customers sign up for its more expensive U -verse.
I was unable to access March Madness basketball games from my computer. Signing it with my
AT&T email id gave me a message that only Uverse customers could access it.
Now, an attempt to access Fox News to watch the first debate of the GOP candidates for the 2016
presidential election results in a requirement to sign up using one's email account provided by the
ISP. However, AT&T permits only Uverse customers and has blocked out DSL customers.
AT&T already indulges in price gouging by charging me 37 dollars per month for just the DSL service.
Any attempt to reduce the cost results in them trying to make me buy another service such as their
land line or Uverse.
Blocking access to sports and political battles violates the Net Neutrality law. Given that AT&T is a
monopoly and was gifted this status by the government, it is unfair that they indulge in price gouging
and try to squeeze even more money from customers like me by forcing us to sign up for more
expensive services.
I already complained to the office of AT&T's President back in March, but there seems to be no
resolution.
I request that AT&T be prevented from price gouging, bundling additional services, and blocking
content to force customers to purchase additional services from them.

Description
I called the automated service to payment on Sunday 2/21/16 and learn my bill was $326.70. Since it
was late in the evening, I called the customer service department on Monday 2/22/16. A
representative was told I am being charged a cancellation fee. How can my account be charged a
cancellation fee if I am still a customer with Comcast?
I have been a customer of Comcast for 16 years. Over the years my bill increases higher and higher.
Back in January/2016 I noticed my bill increased over $20 more, I requested to speak to a supervisor.
I was transferred to the Resolution department. I explained to the Comcast representative my bills are
too high, I could not afford the increase because I am paying college tuition for my son and daughter.
The representative asked me questions on what channe ls my family watches. I told her my husband
and I are the only two people living in my house at this time, we only watch the local news and the
cable channels new such as CNN, MSNBC & FOX News. The representative then offered me to
down grade the current s ervice I had to make my plan cheaper; and mention the contract will be for
one year. She even told me to make my bill less; I can return some of the receivers’ boxes. I was not
told that a fee would be charged to me if I down grade the service I previously had.
If the representative had told me I would be charges a fee for down grading my service, which she
offered me to do. I would have just cancelled my entire service and went with another company. I was
miss lead by the Comcast representative I spoke to.
I believe the call I made to Comcast on 1/22/16 around 6pm should be reviewed, since all call are
recorded for quality assurance proposes; so someone can see I should not be paying the extra fee I
am now being charged on my bill.

From Me
Details
My account # is(b) (6)
. In the summer & fall of 2015, I had major problems with my Comcast
account. I did not have service for almost the entire summer, yet was still billed as if I did have
service.
Finally, in October, my problems with my cable and cable billing were resolved...or at least I initially
thought.
At that time, in October, I was told that I would be given the digital package I think it is called -a
normally $36 or so per month package for the cost of basic cable ($19 per month), & th at that
package included channels such as Lifetime, CNN, HGTV, Fox News, MTV, LMN, Hallmark, etc, as
well as the basic cable channels- & that I would get this pricing for 6 months...through the end of April
of 2016.
However, if you review my bill, you will see that this pricing was never accurately applied to my
account. Later, in October, I did add a Sports package ala carte to my service, but it was only
supposed to be an additional $6 or $7 per month (added to the $19), so $25 or so per month.
However, my account billing is completely out of whack & has not been correct one month since my
cable issues were supposedly resolved in October.
On 12/7/15, I paid $83.91. This amount seems correct, as it is my understanding that accounts are
billed a month in advance, so that appears to be about correct, & should have paid through the end of
January...(if you figure approximately $25 per month for Nov., Dec., & Jan.), so I have no problem
with that charge.
However, Comcast had in their records that I owed an additional $265.70 on 02/01/16. At that time, I
paid it, thinking I would resolve the billing issue later (& have it credited towards future months), as
Comcast had cut off my service, & I was having company that night & needed my cable TV operable
at that point. (I was not aware that they were cutting it off until I came home & saw an error message
on my TV & phoned Comcast to report the outage.) At this point, it was (conveniently for Comcast)
after business hours, so I couldn't go to the local office at that point, & could only get my service
operable that night by making a payment to the automated phone system.
Now, today, I received a bill stating that I owe $296.11. Of that amount, the $96.60 seems accurate,
with one caveat...I was without audio completely for 2 weeks from about 3/1-3/17/16, so I feel that I
should be credited back half of the charges for those two weeks, as I had a picture, but no sound.
(Initially, they told me I needed a new remote, which I picked up at the local office, but this st ill did not
resolve the issue, & the Comcast repairmen had to come out twice to resolve it.)However, I in no way
owe the $199.51. Also, I only have one outlet not 2, so I should be credited for $4 per month - $24 for
the 6 months for billing me incorrectly for an additional outlet & should also be refunded any/all late
charges for the 6 months - 6 x $9.50= $57.
Please apply these credits to my account. I will pay the $96.60 by 04/16, if that will make my account
bill zero through the end of May 2016. I will not pay the $199.51, as that charge is incorrect. Please
reinstate my service fully & completely ASAP, immediately, right now, today.
Thank you.
Sincerely,n the summer & fall of 2015, I had major problems with my Comcast account. I did not have

Description
I am an introvert and call this life long follow thru with a mission. I was watching the presidential
debate and saw this local ad called
click-it rv Nevada street. Of course, I am not going to get on the internet and go to this site because I
know beyond a shadow of a doubt it is filth and entrapment. click-it, like "c lick it" featuring an rv on
Nevada street. Well someone has been reading updates to fbi or listening to my speaking while
traveling thru indiana and noticing their ad when you arrive in the state concerning tom tom rv parks.
Well, this reminds me of the indians out of the state of Nevada with rvs and c larence thomas who
peed in a coke bottle. Sorry to be so graffic but I believe that the inner workings of Wells Fargo bank
and their blasse attitutude is now coming back to haunt them. Yes, I believe all of this is emanating
out of Wells Fargo bank who knows I have comcast here in my apartment and yes, I am probably
going to vote for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump but you dont care fcc, do you??????? The
animosity I have for this going unaddressed, I cannot tell you but I believe it is the califo rnia
paperboard mexicans at work from santa clara country. but it started long before that time, can we
clean house at some of these banks, they might have some baggage that should be trashed, do you
want to take it in the rv on nevada street to the local spokane trash dump. I am going there myself to
dispose of o'reilly oracle books with debbie does spokane on fox news. Heh, now wells fargo is
channeling me into deep dark black investment handlers at the stage coach wells fargo. It is dark, it
is hateful, it is disgusting so who at wells fargo is involved. I can tell you. "c lick it rv" comes from the
al serra chevrolet cruze out of colorado springs with the mexicans on the al serra chevrolet colorado
springs networking, in charge, yes the mexicans. I would send to the fbi also but interesting enough, I
reactivated an old vaio 2001 with interesting results, comodo when queing up the fbi. How does
comodo fit in on a vaio but I would turn the vaio over to the fbi, they will see some pretty disgusting
activities starting in 2001 when working for Oracle. And I went and loaded up a game program and it
asked if I had purchased from Best Buy? This is an old game program, it has some interesting
results also, with the Republic of Fun and a moneky face out o f indonesia possibly, 2001 I was still
working for Oracle. Does the fbi want the old vaio, that I turned on again now, it is amazing and
scary. Right now I am sending you this on my apple macbook pro but who can you trust anymore
when they want to get you??????? Maybe the Reputlicans out of Beverly Hills will come up with a
new TV series to handle this reality show?????

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
You people will not realize I am serious about trying to eliminate j obs at the FCC because you are not
doing your job OR, like most Republicans I have ever met, are being bought off because you worship
the dollar more than GOD, but GOD/religion is always your backup argument. I live in rural Effingham
County, Georgia and have been complaining about television disruption and intermittent cell phone
reception in my immediate area for years and have not seen any response to the problem. I cannot
carry my television down the street to see if the signal clears up but everyone th at comes to my
house has a problem with cell phone reception signal dropping out. I have a cell phone for emergency
purposes only and in the event that my land line goes dark, I have to drive down the street in either
direction a half mile to get a signal that will not drop out on me. The surprising coincidence is that
when my television signal becomes scrambled, there is no cell phone signal. The same can be said
about the Planters Electric Co/OP that supplies electricity to my house. I have complained to them
about the power surges I have experienced in the 10 years I have lived here and they swore to me
there is no surges in my area. Well there must be ghost in the wires because the washing machine
and dryer mysteriously turn on by them -selves in the ready mode frequently. I was talking with some
neighbors over a mile from me just the other day, 10/12/2015, and mentioned the power surges. They
said the have had them as long as they have lived in there location but they won’t complain because
they are Good-Ol-Boy Republicans who have the money to replace there appliances that the power
surges destroy them over time.
It appears you have contacted the local authorities about the television/cellphone disruption
problem because occasionally there is a reprieve in disruption for a period of time but that only occurs
after I write you a complaint, then it starts again. I have a neighbor within close proximity to my house
that tell me he has television signal disruption on a clear night and he is paying Dish Networ k for his
TV signal. Since satellite television service is received from a southern geo -stationary satellite, the
only possible reason for his signal disruption has to be local.
This problem will never be resolved until the FCC sends an investigator to th is area for a
period of time, leaving local law enforcement in the dark until the investigation is complete, the good ol-boy network trickles down from the top in this county. I have an idea of who might be behind this
disruption but then I might be becoming a paranoid Republican because the only broadcast news
channels I can receive, according to all speakers at the CPAC convention, are trying to destroy the
Republican Party.
So back to the issue, today is 10/14/2015 and television disruption this morning was
exceptionally bad while I was watching the national news and this can only be cleared up by the
agency created to handle this type of illegal activity. But maybe someone was trying to spare me the
lies spewed by the local major networks because I don’ t have the resources to afford FOX news. In
the end I’m sure I will again be relegated to second class citizen because your agency failed to do
there job.

in jan 2015, i filed a complaint online with the FBI against Jim Cramer of CNBC for keeping my home
network under constant surveillance. since this complaint was filed in 01/2015 CNBC, NBCUniversal,
CNN, & most recently Fox News Network monitor what i am watching and when/if i tune into a
particular station they announce this to the anchors and tell the anchors to use specific language with
the intent to harass me. none of these networks should be able to constantly monitor/track a specific
viewer under these circumstances. i contacted the chairman of CNBC in January and emailed both
CNBC & The Street.com a cease & desist letter regarding Cramer's unwanted internet surveillance
and their response has been to network with other major networks and harass/stal k me online and if i
am watching their station. you can see in the attachments they make references to me "lagging" and
also jim cramer makes a reference to big wigs clipping the wings of twitter. twitter is a reference to
me. i ask that you review this and forward to an investigator who can connect with the FBI.

A strip-clubber, vice lord and pornographer rising to world power?
A Commander-in-Chief who's a woman-degrading misogynist?

America's First Daughter, example to our daughters, who publicly exposes herself too?
A National Example to our sons, fathers, brothers, husbands and boyfri ends who reportedly said of
women, "You have to treat 'em like shit."
A pathological liar, cheater, adulterous and deeply immoral, unstable man with his finger on the
USA's nuclear arsenal?
A letch, a perv and a pig in the White House?
A "President Porno"?

"Chris Christie's endorsement of Donald Trump is an astonishing display of political opportunism.
Donald Trump is unfit to be President. He is a dishonest demagogue who plays to our worst fears.
Trump would take America on a dangerous journey. Christie knows all that and indicated as much
many times publicly. The Governor is mistaken if he believes he can now count on my support, and I
call on Christie's donors and supporters to reject the Governor and Donald Trump outright. I believe
they will. For some of us, principle and country still matter."

"Trump seems to have a Napoleon Complex or 'Little Man Syndrome' concerning his penis. He said
in the Detroit debate to Megyn, her co-hosts and a global audience, 'I have to say this, I have to say
this. He [Marco Rubio] hit my hands. Nobody has ever hit my hands. I have never heard of this. Look
at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands, if they are small, something else
must be small. I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee.' Trump is lying. He has heard of
this, it's obviously an obsession of his. To talk about his penis on national TV, he must be
tremendously rattled by Rubio, by the Vanity Fair stuff, by the painting of him as a little gu y, etc.

Description
Sometime after August I saw on The View on ABC a woman and a daughter from Utah. The woman
and the daughter were white. The daughter had dreadlocks and the mother claimed that her public
school would not allow her daughter to have dreadl ocks. The mother claimed it was a race issue.
Whoopie Goldberg argued with the mother about her claim that there was a race issue. The
underlying implication was that schools in Utah are discriminating against people. I left the show
thinking that people in Utah believe in a Master Race. Whoopie was embarrassing. I think this whole
show was faked, but if a school anywhere discriminates against someone because their skin tone
happens to be what we call white, that is wrong. There are a lot of people in Uta h who attend The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Because of this show I made the assumption that people
who attend that church are racist and believe in a Master Race. That was the intention of the show. I
have since learned that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does not teach this. I feel
terrible because I've hurt my neighbors because I've acted on this information. Meghan McCain has
been on The View and she told me that she likes the show. Senator John McCain has put his
daughter on the show or used his influence to make it happen. He is abuses his power and thinks he
is the leader of the United States of America. He undermines us. I can't prove it, but I strongly suspect
that Senator John McCain used his influence over The Vi ew to make people nationwide think that
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teaches racism. Can you look into why The View
and ABC is going along with spreading these lies? Me and my friends and family believe in the
presumption of innocence, so if the facts prove me wrong, then I'm wrong, but I Senator John McCain
uses his influence to affect TV shows. Last night he used his influence during the Pittsburgh vs
Kansas City Chiefs game to suggest that he wants to run for President of the Unite d States of
America. I heard it after a commercial when they showed a NFL Wild Card graphic. Senator John
McCain illegally used his position as a Senator to try to influence people to vote for him. He and the
Republican party had/have a secret plan to pick him for President at the Republican National
Convention and somehow I was going to be John McCain's choice for Vice President. Once I learned
that the Republican Party is/was planning to ignore the peoples choice in primaries, preference
elections Meghan McCain told me that we couldn't get elected if I wasn't married, she used YouTube
videos to do this. She also wanted to have a child but was not interested in me. John said the job of
President gets stressful. So she was going to agree to marry me, have s ex with me and have
children, in exchange for me running for President with John McCain. Fox News and Donald Trump,
Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio are all on board with this plan. John McCain is using the Air Force
out of Luke Air Force Base as part of his plan. Donald Trump said on MSNBC that they have "taken
down the President." Very recently an Air Force jet flew over my apartment complex. It was one of
those planes that is used to spread information to people on the ground in times of war. Senator
McCain said "we were going to run for President and I could do whatever I wanted" I didn't know that
we were going to do it illegally, behind we the people's backs. I figured out how to stop the plan. I quit
his plan. He is still trying to force me to get back on his ticket. The LifeLine cell phone I reported last
night is still not working. I can only use it for 911. Fix IT. I can break codes and I was in the Navy.
Senator McCain is represented as number 6 and I am represented as number 3. At 7:30 this mornin g
3 black helicopters flew over my home. They may have been from the Arizona National Guard instead
of Luke Air Force Base. The jet that spread information may have been from the Arizona National
Guard instead of from Luke Air Force Base. At 7:00 am I was asleep. I heard a helicopter outside.
The sound did not go away until I got out of bed. I need you to get this to President Obama as fast as
possible. I need The View investigated, they are hurt me and my friends. I contacting the White
House next, we've got to stop this evil Senator McCain, get him to stop putting the lives of Military
Service Members at risk, and get him to stop spending the tax payers money illegally.

We have noticed that on multiple TVs/DVRs on multiple channels that whenever the commercial for
"Fan Duel Fantasy Football" plays, it pauses the DVR at the end of the commerc ial showing their
coupon code and offer. Hitting Play or Pause on the remote does not get rid of this...we actually have
to change the channel for the service to begin working again. We are seeing this behavior on three
different DVRS and on multiple channels that advertise this business. Anyone else seeing this or
have a clue how/why it is happening?

Mine does this on the Lexus commercial... It freezes on the screen with the three models and looks

called DTV and they, of course, dont know what im talking about. I told her my tv was a PLASMA

resets it. also did this on another commercial but forgot what it was. Happened on Fox news and

I think that's standard for customer service. "This is the first we've heard of this". Even though it

A simple way is to hit pause, then play and then FF. The buffer is actually still recording so you'll be

Every day when a specific Intel commercial runs on CNN, it pauses on the exact same spot on the
Intel logo. You can rewind of fast forward past it, but it is clearly a "planned" glitch. My guess, is this is
planned by Directv as a marketing tactic to make them...$$$$.
This is one of the many reasons I am likely going to cut to cord and use a streaming service only for

To Whom It May Concern:
Several months ago I call Comcast to cancel my cable services. I wife and I decided the cost was
just too much. I was told that I couldn't; not without talking to their resolution department first... who
would be calling me. I was rather appalled. They called the next day and offered to lower my price
for six month. Although this was not my initial intent, I agreed. The six month went by and our bill
went back up so we called to cancel again. Again they offered to reduce out bill, and again I agreed.
Finally I tired of the game and canceled only retaining their internet services. We investigated our TV
options, which are limited here in Seattle, and decided to continue internet services until we had time
to do the research on it. This is how it's been since; we've not made any changes. A few days ago
Comcast called us to offer us more for only three dollars more then what we were currently paying!
Wow... really.
I was offered a new package that included HBO for only three dollars more. After looking at my bill I
realized that she was quoting me a net price that didn't include tax or insurance from my current bills
gross amount. I find this to be a rather deceptive sales technique... wouldn’t you agrees? After
identifying this we identified the true cost, which turned out to be about twenty dollars more a month,
and included the news channels I was interested in. There was some concern that not all of these
channels were part of the package being offered so I told her to never mind; I'm not interested. She
put me on while she spoke to her supervisor. When she returned she assured me that all the
channels, FOX News, CNN, and MSNBC were all part of this package - as was HBO, no contract
obligation, and a 30 day money back guaranty. The new services were up -linked and I started
channel surfacing only to find no news channels were available. When I called and was told that my
services did not include those channels. I pointed out tha t the conversation was said to be recorded,
so he could go and listen to the conversation to hear for himself what I was offered and agreed to.
He kept telling me his screen was not showing that, but with an up grade and more money he could
make that happen. After several rounds that ended up at the same place, I thanked the person and
asked for a supervisor. He remarked that they were going to tell me the same thing.
The next day I got a call from a supervisor and we went through it again. He seemed to be confused
with their tracking system and what services I had. In any event they could not offer me what I was
sold so I asked that they simple restore my internet services back to what it was. Apparently they
can't restore services but instead have to initiate new services. This is when I realized that they had
been over charging me for internet services since I had cancel cable TV. I kept telling him to just
restore my services as they were prior to all this nonsense. He kept telling me that he wo uld have to
see what he could offer me. He came back with three programs at three different prices. One cost
$50 some, another $40 some, and a third $30 some. I ask him what I had previously and was told
the middle package at $40 some dollars. Well it seems that Comcast has charged me $50 some
dollars since I dropped cable TV, thus I'm quite certain they've been charging me for their higher
speed internet service that I’ve not been provided. In retrospect I remember a pause in the
conversation from the young lady that sold me the upgraded services for only $3 dollars more… yeah
right… before telling me that she could upgrade my internet to their higher speed... at no cost. Hum...
at no cost! Rape your head around that one.
Summary: 1) Comcast initially put me through their rigor to cancel their services, 2) It appears that
Comcast has been over charging me since I reduced my services, 3) They are involved in deceptive
sales practices, 4) and Comcast has a seemingly locked Seattle market that offers co nsumers little
choice. I live in a condominium, as do many people in densely populated areas, so satellite service is
not an option.
Respectfully,

Dear FCC people,
And in particular the men and women who decide and approve the list of things that are inappropriate
for the public to be exposed to through audio on the radio. First off, I understand why you exist and I
think everyone in the world can agree that to some degree, you are a necessary governing body.
However, you guys have gotten way too over zealous with your policies. What is radio friendly? Why
is being 'radio friendly' so important? Yeah there are some words that are blatantly offensive like f***
or c***. But shit, bitch, bastard and god damn? Is it because you don't want the unattended kids to
hear them and start a swearing crusade to march across the continent? Sorry to say; I, along with
every kid in the world born after 1975 learned those words at the age of 8.... in the school yard. Do
you really receive angry letters from people who get offended when they hear the words 'God damn'?
God damn! They probably don't even listen to the stations who play music with that kind of language
anyway. They're set on golden oldies where the worst word to come across their pallette is 'gosh
darn' or 'dag nam it'. It was only while shuffling through stations that these Hank Williams loving baby
boomers heard the odd word(s) and found their life's mission. You have such a stranglehold on
censorship with curse words, but yet Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin and Donald Trump can run their
mouths with no filter because of the freedom of speech which protects them from being charged with
incitement and hate speech. But we must limit artistic expression of musicians because the word 'shit'
makes less then %1 of the population squirm? Kim Kardashian is more revolting then a few letters
and she gets more air time and money for polluting society with her personality and greed. Talk about
social damage, why don't you just stop FOX "news" from spewing opinion based propaganda that is
actually being believed more then any other news outlet. Jon Stewart has more truth and credibility in
his satirical segments then all of their 'journalists' combined. Where were you guys on that when FOX
came about? Im currently listening to a satellite radio station and I was enjoying a great song by Fort
Minor. It gets to a part where the lyrics are: "my pops wanna get away from the pain to a better place
in his brain but the medication he takes makes him wasted" ok? Now which word in that quote was
censored? 'Medication'. The word 'medication' was censored. How in the hell does the word
'medication' get censored? The word 'wasted' was still there. Wasted can mean anything. It can mean
drunk, drugged up, dead on the side of the street. I just don't get it, there doesn't seem to be any logic
with the high scrutiny on offensive language. Some of which isn't even offensive. Why must you
pander to the lowest common denominator? If I don't like what I'm listening to on the radio, TV,
Internet; I just change it. Does a 4 letter word truly disrupt a persons wellbeing that much that it needs
to be banned from all ears everywhere? What's next, a machine that spits out fi nes in public if it
detects a word that can be taken as offensive? What is the average age on the committee that
spearheads your efforts? Or are they a mix of Roman Catholics, middle aged mothers and 90+ year
olds? I highly doubt I'll hear back from you, or even exact any changes to the ridiculous policies that
plague the freedom of artists in all mediums that you preside as overlord to. But if you could just relax
a minute or two, you may see that there's no devil in a curse word. And maybe, just maybe, re gain
some lost common sense. Thank you for your time.

Continual drop out of the OTA broadcast signal. Their signal strength can start out the day with (5)
bars of strength only to end up with none by late afternoon. We were watching their signal last week
after we installed a pre- amp, and after a week of (3) to (5) bars of strength it just went away. Now it's
very sporadic, and mostly not available. I strongly feel that if we can receive it once we sh ould be
able to receive it all the time.
This isn't the first time we've seen this happen since we discontinued our satellite subscription two
years ago. When we first switched to antenna, we received the WLUK signal quite well with a small
distribution amplifier. But after six months the signal began to weaken after strong storms and
eventually it disappeared. That led to the purchase of the pre -amp, and after a week of strong signal
strength, it went away again. With no storms.
After contacting WLUK and working with their technical personnel, we get the response that they are
operating at 100% signal strength. 100% of what?
We respectfully ask the FCC to investigate the erratic signal strength of WLUK and it's smaller entity
WCWF (CW 14).

TWC techs were completely unable to find anything wrong, because the issue was that the problems

committing criminal acts to punish innocent people is a reasonable solution to his ego esteem issues.

Templeton, Peter Lynch, Bill Miller, even Steven Jobs, Carlos Slim, and Bill Gates…

> Plus literally thousands — possibly even millions — of other names you’ve never even heard. So
what is it? What’s the one characteristic every one of these financial and life “winners” has in

companies I pulled straight off the top of my head. Then think about what they have in common…
>
> Sara Lee, Johnson & Johnson, GEICO, Coca-Cola, Apple, Microsoft, Nike, Wal-Mart, AOL, Disney,
and Berkshire Hathaway…

> Now take a look at these names and think about what they have in common …
>
> Under Armour, Facebook, Amgen, Expedia.com <http://expedia.com/>, Intuitive Surgical,
Starbucks, Amazon, Chipotle, Tesla, Google, and Netflix…
>
> Please keep those names in mind. They’re crucial to the ONE sure path to true legacy wealth I’m
about to share with you. Then, if you agree that what I say makes sense, I’ll tell you exactly what you
have to do to take advantage of it yourself.
>
> By now, you’ve probably
> guessed what “it” is …
>
> But before we dig deeper into this mystery, let’s briefly dispense with the rare exceptions to this
indisputable investment rule. In my 30 years experience, I’ve found exactly two…
>
> First, I’ve met a handful of investors who made a killing on a bold gambit. Typically by cornering a
currency, getting out in front of a major market move, or betting against subprime loans, dot.com
<http://dot.com/>stocks, or some other asset bubble.
>
> Second, there are those who started early. Invested tirelessly. Then kicked back and waited
patiently for 30 years or 50 years or more, as their wealth compounded into a true legacy fortune.
>
> And that’s about it. Every other super successful investor I’ve encountered built his wealth using the
one proven investment strategy we’re discussing today. But just so we’re clear….
>
> What I’m about to share with you is powerful. But it’s not the only investment strategy I want you to
pursue. For example, when the opportunity presents itself, true master investors don’t hesitate to
make liberal, opportunistic use of …
>
> The steady profits offered by mature, out-of-favor companies temporarily trading at unfairly low
multiples to their earnings, cash flows, or most especially the “replacement value” of their productive
assets…
> The ballast offered to your balanced investment portfolio by stable cash flow generators in
countercyclical industries in rocky markets and/or pay us generous annual dividends to hold their
shares…
> The explosive gains offered by small companies that have yet to consistently turn a profit, but are
poised for rapid price appreciation as their revenues ramp up and Wall Street wakes up to their
massive upside potential…
> In short, with few exceptions, truly successful investors are prepared to strike whenever and
wherever mispricings arise. Especially when the irrational fear and greed of the masses creates oncein-a-lifetime opportunities…
>
> Even if this means trading when the markets favor a very short-term approach — making use of
technical analysis to scalp quick prof

After the Democrat debate aired by CNN on Oct 13, 2015, CNN themselves purposely altered the
story, and edited the coverage video afterwards, along with deleting their own public online polls, with
what appears to be an intention, to skew the public’s perception of who was the actual ‘winner’ of the
debate. Their own poll showed Senator (I) Bernie Sanders clearly ahead of Sec. Hillary Clinton. With
over 85% of online pollsters supporting Sen. Sanders, CNN reported, and continues to support the
view that Hillary Clinton ‘won’ the debate. This is a clear deception, and lie to the American public, at
a time, when we need the truth regarding our political leaders. It is our belief, that Time Warner, Inc,
as a large contributor to the Clinton campaign, is attempting to buy the election!

CNN lied to the people and spun the debate as a win for Hillary when their own poll showed that the
people chose Bernie Sanders as the winner. Time Warner, CNN's parent company, has given Hillary
Clinton half a million dollars in campaign contributions. Anderson Cooper, the debate moderator,
once worked for the Clinton Foundation. If a network cannot be objective when it comes to a
presidential election, they should get out of the way and let objective media s ources handle it. CNN
deliberately lied on behalf of one candidate. CNN cut a woman's mic off because she found Sanders
favorable instead of Hillary. CNN attempted to purposely deceive the public (voters) on Hillary
Clinton's behalf.

Clearly, after the recent Democratic Debate on CNN, the NUMEROUS polls indicating that Bernie
Sanders was a popular pick and had won the debate should have at the least been mentioned.

Clinton won the debate. I understand there is some nuance but what disturbs me greatly is that CNN

Hello,
We all are aware now that the CNN Democratic Debate was a set up to promote Hillary Clinton. A
free promotion with her own backers putting on the debate!! This is unconscionable!
CNN is owned by TIME WARNER, the 7th largest campaign donor to Hillary Cli nton! This is absolute
garbage! CAN WE SAY FIXED??
Bernie Sanders won ALL of the online polls by a wide margin. He won the night on TWITTER and
GOOGLE. He raised over 3M dollars that night! And Hillary Clinton was crowned as the WINNER?
Really?
And how about the "official replay video" of the debate? Missing 45 minutes...and I watched and
there was not 45 minutes worth of commercials.
It apparently has been edited to favor Hillary Clinton!
This is a SHAM and something must be done. The fact that the debate was ONLY on CNN and not
on all major networks like it used to be and SHOULD be so ALL citizens have access to this
knowledge.
The fact that it was spun to favor HC and the reply HIGHLY EDITED tells me the FCC needs to get
involved pronto!
We will NOT stand for this deception. Please take action now.
Thank you.
Sincerely,

I am writing to complain about the experience that I had watching the Democratic debate on CNN free
Live Feed and CNN shutting down the people's Bernie2016tv program. I do not have a television and
if I did I would not be able to afford cable, therefore I was dependent on CNN and Bernie23016tv
providing accurate streaming of the debate. However, while watching CNN live feed I switched to
Bernie2016tv and saw that Bernie2016tv showed me a part that was not on CNN live feed. This was
when Bernie Sanders spoke about the media and the political oligarchy system, and then Clinton
stepped over to Sanders and they shook hands. I saw this on Bernie 2016tv and not on CNN
because Bernie2016tv was lagging behind CNN live feed. In other words I could watch something on
CNN and then switch to Bernie2016tv and see it again, however I did not see this part on the live
feed. Furthermore, CNN reported false results of the debate when they declared Clinton the winner
of the debate, however Bernie Sanders was clearly the winner. I believe that it is a conflict of interest
when CNN and Time Warner are huge contributors of the Clinton campaign as this makes eve rything
suspicious. Presidential debates should be easily available to all the people of the United States as it
is very important that we be informed voters and not manipulated.

The CNN network is not disclosing their conflict of interest when it comes to political coverage of the
Democratic presidential debates. This is extremely problematic considering they had the
responsibility of hosting, moderating, and covering the debate. The fact that they have not disclosed
that their parent company, Time Warner, is one of the top 10 contributors to Hillary Clinton's
presidential campaign is unethical.
Also , more unethical is the way CNN is deliberately withholding their very own poll d ata on the
debate. Their online poll clearly showed viewers choosing another candidate winning the debate.

disclose any conflict of interest that may interfere with the news they are reporting.

Description
Any station or broadcaster that consider themselves and use or reference the term NEWS Must be
restricted to factual information only of at a minimum standard of at least 96%, failure to do so should
prohibit them from using the term NEWS, instead they must call themselves editorial networks,
stations, ect.. If they do fall into the news category, all editorials or opinions must be p receded and
followed by statements that it is not fact but editorial or opinion. On the FOX news analysis following
the second republican presidential debate Rich Lowry stated that Carly cut off Donald Trump's
*$#&%@ with the skill of a surgeon. This language was meant to shock the viewer with no purpose
other than to shock and offend. FOX news knew of his perpensity toward vulgarity yet they
intentionally chose him. It is for this reason that I feel FOX should be fined and no longer permitted to
use the term news in their advertising, slogans, ect. On the CNN show Legal View with Ashleigh
Banefield yesterday, when she and a guest were discussing Trumps boycott of FOX her guest said
that news reporters can say whatever they want, once again this is not news but editorial. The FCC ,
in order to preserve at least some small bit of integrity and stop the slide of "news" programs into the
realm of pornography, must immediatly reestablish broadcasting restrictions and regulations.
I am a republican but I am not voting for any of the republican slate of cantidates, of the poor choices
we have I am currently supporting Bernie Sanders.

Lobby influenced CNN is unfairly reporting about Presidential candidate Donald Trump. Every time of

He is a front runner therefore there should be good stories reported about him. They are calling his
supporters uneducated, trying to frame him as racists, when this does not work they move to other
methods. Never feature his accomplishments etc. It is only one sided Pro Hillary Network. During
Chicago Riots or Arizona roadblocks CNN did not say protestors were paid to demonstrate against
Trump etc. When the man charged the stage at Trump rally he was interviewed as a celebrity b ut no
shown that he was stepping on USA flag and was part of Not my flag movement. I find it extremely
unbalanced and I am sure millions of people see it the same way. Especially right before and during
primary they do 24 hours bash/ trash the front runner so others can benefit. Even when story is
somewhat positive it skewed against him. The panels on CNN of experts 8 against Trump to 1 pro
Trump. They are trying to influence the elections Pro Hillary. It started when Trump won 1st Primary
beginning of Feb. escalated with Bigot and Racist tactics the night before and the day off every
primary or caucus. Be on a look out just before and during the next primary on 4/5/16.

they are telling the public Clinton won. It is NOT the media's job to tell us who to vote for, it is their
job to give us the information to decide for ourselves. My understanding is that CNN is owned by
Time Warner, who is a major contributor to Clinton's campaign. This is blatant manipulation of an

Description
With the Republican primaries in process and the recent violence surrounding the proposed Trump
rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago last night, the lies coming from CNN, MSNBC, and their
guests, as well as some guests on FOX, have made one thing very clear. It is the media who are
inciting people to start trouble at rallies, not Trump. Last night, I coul d not believe the outright lies
being spewed by these networks. For example, more than once I heard them say that Trump is a
racist, against all Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks, favors the KKK, and other lies, so naturally Trump is at
fault. Whether one is a Republican or Democrat, this type of behavior by major broadcasting stations
should not be permitted. How is it that they get away with this? Who is watching over the propaganda
that these networks have been practicing all along, particularly in recent week s? Personally, I am
insulted, embarrassed that these are American TV stations, and bewildered that it is allowed to
continue. Pretty soon someone will get hurt and whose fault will it be? The people starting the riots
are not home listening to the speeches, they get their information from TV.
Why can't you shut this down? The longer this continues with no repercussions, no sanctions and no
one being fired, is adding to the creation of new accepted standards, standards that embrace
dishonesty and violence. These people that are violating the public trust belong in the gutter. Please,
use your power to return at least bare bones honesty to these very popular networks.

video is muted and the sound shows at the lowest on the video browser, it still plays with sound as if it
was turned up. They force consumers to either press pause or scramble to find the sound button on
the computer itself. Often, the videos start with advertisements so I am suspicious this a way to play
the ad even though the consumer has everything muted. Often, when you have everything muted, it
will unmute when the next ad comes on.

Description
The CNN network is not disclosing their conflict of interest when it comes to political coverage of the
Democratic presidential debates. This is extremely problematic considering they had the fiduciary
responsibility of hosting, moderating, and covering th e debate. The fact that they have not disclosed
that their parent company, Time Warner, is one of the top 10 contributors to Hillary Clinton's
presidential campaign is unethical.
Furthermore, more unethical is the way CNN is deliberately withholding their very own poll data on
the debate, seemingly because that data reflects a message that conflicts with their undisclosed
interest in the campaign.
When it comes to political coverage, media communications have a fiduciary responsibility to their
audience to disclose any conflict of interest that may interfere with the objectivity of the news the
audience is receiving.

About teo weeks ago, please ask CNN for the tape if you can get them to answer a phone, they

Why show it if you are going to be so ignorant to then interrupt her to tell us there are 17 Republicans
running for President. Very old update. No breaking news. Terrible timing. They will not make a
comment to the media or Jack CameronBooks. While, I agree maybe a law was not broken, it is an
unspoken given in America you never, ever, never interrupt the singing of the National Anthem. I am
still upset and disturbed CNNdidthis weeks ago and no one seems to care or even give CNN a slap
on the erist.Who is caring about the airwaves anymore? Please FCC, make CNn produce this
segment to John Dean, CEO of Jack Cameron Books and also require CNN to issue a statement of
apology. They are counting on the FCC doing nothing. Is that e hat the FCC will do. Please do NOT
be bought by these cable networks. What CNN did to America is a crying shame. Thank you for your
attention to this serious matter in broadcasting and in respectin our National Anthem.

Description
in jan 2015, i filed a complaint online with the FBI against Jim Cramer of CNBC for keeping my home
network under constant surveillance. since this complaint was filed in 01/2015 CNBC, NBCUniversal,
CNN, & most recently Fox News Network monitor what i am watching and when/if i tune into a
particular station they announce this to the anchors and tell the anchors to use specific language wit h
the intent to harass me. none of these networks should be able to constantly monitor/track a specific
viewer under these circumstances. i contacted the chairman of CNBC in January and emailed both
CNBC & The Street.com a cease & desist letter regarding Cramer's unwanted internet surveillance
and their response has been to network with other major networks and harass/stalk me online and if i
am watching their station. you can see in the attachments they make references to me "lagging" and
also jim cramer makes a reference to big wigs clipping the wings of twitter. twitter is a reference to
me. i ask that you review this and forward to an investigator who can connect with the FBI.
i complained to TWC about this and from what i understand once the digital s ignal leaves the modem,
then TWC is no longer responsible for it. this applies to TV, phone (internet based phone), and
internet. in the stat of NJ there is a stalking law that makes it illegal to keep someone under repeated
surveillance. see stalking law for NJ below (CNBC is located in NJ)

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
CNN -- a subsidiary of Time Warner has shown egregious bias in the democratic process of selecting
a nominee for the democratic party. I watched the debate on October 13th and some of the more
obvious examples of their bias was to refer to Bernie Sanders as "The Unexpected Threat". How can
a news organization refer to a candidate as a "threat" while remaining even the sl ightest hint of
journalistic impartiality.
After the debate CNN continued to participate in deceptive journalism by deleting its own poll that
said Bernie Sanders performed the best, and subsequently reported that Clinton won. CNN also
ignored all the other polls and focus groups in their reporting suggesting the same conclusions. After
the debate CNN went so far as to shut down Bernie2016tv's Youtube Channel for streaming the
debate online live. CNN had streaming available but the service did not work du ring the debate for
many online as thousands tuned in.
CNN has proven time and again that they lack integrity as a source of news and consistently choose
to promote the interest of their parent company Time Warner (a major donor to Hillary Clinton's
campaign) over the collection and dissemination of evidence and facts.

Description
I'd like to file a complaint against CNN for editing the footage of the publicly televised democratic
debate in an effort to spin Hillary Clinton as the winner since their p arent company Time-Warner is a
major campaign contributor of hers. As a news media outlet they are beholden to the American public
to report the news in a fair and unbiased fashion. This violates that premise. Also repressing their
own poll on facebook which clearly showed Bernie Sanders as the winner is reprehensive in and of
itself. Additionally since the broadcast was released over the internet and tv as a free public
broadcast that puts the entirity of the broadcast into the realm of public domain. Th eir attacks on
several private youtube channel feeds that have resulted in their shutdown over re -airing the debate
in its entirity are repugnant and immoral and not to be characteristic of an unbiased news outlet
responsible to the American people for informing them of the real events. If they want to tell half truths
and fictions based on their political leanings and investments perhaps it would be proper to require
them to remove the word "News" from their network name. Same goes for Fox News.

people such as the Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams there and Jersey City Mayor and even
NJ OAG Civil Rights and asked them if they thought that such news about the WTC and people in
Brooklyn, NYC and Jersey City, NJ there cheering when the WTC went down on 9-11-01 could create
violence and that news should not be aired. A whole lot of complaints by me against CNN recently!!!!!!

CNN is a public trustee, and are required to represent the news accurately and fairly. This is not what
happen Tuesday night, not the days following. They chopped up the full debate to favor Hillary
Clinton, and when people broadcasted the full debate, unedited, they shut it down. They then after
essentially unanimous polls showed Bernie Sanders winning the debate, claimed Hillary won and
published a few article on the matter; they did this despite the fact that their own poll showed Bernie
won by a land slide. Time Warner is one of Hillary's largest donors, and has enormous seat at CNN,
of this I'd not a conflict of interest I don't know what would be. I'm not happy that they are allowed to
blatantly distort information, delete public polls, all to push pro Hillary agendas. Please right this
wrong.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
It is a funny feeling how like when you find a story that you may find to be interesting or something is
false and like not true. I can see that false stories in the news can affect the people. I believe The
Hollywood Reporter has removed the LAPD/NYPD story about Quentin Tarantino that the officer at
the LAPD said it was yet another false story on CNN about the LAPD there in the last three weeks
there. Also, last night Showtime or HBO should have removed "Pulp Fiction" shown at an odd time
there last night probably because the story said the NYPD and LAPD would have visited the home of
Quentin Tarantino today to discuss how much they hate his movies. According to the LAPD, it may be
a very small bunch of LAPD or NYPD officers that did not speak to us or it is another false story about
the LAPD on CNN. Yes, I suggested to the California Atty General with these fake news stories about
the LAPD twice in the last two weeks on CNN there that maybe the FCC should have a ju risdiction
over cable or something. I learned you do not have a jurisdiction over cable though. Should you?
Again, it is odd when the LAPD complains to me that two stories I read about the LAPD there on CNN
in their huge articles there on CNN is false about the LAPD. Do you think that the California Atty
General should like my suggestion where I said that maybe the FCC should also regulate cable? Odd
and BAD how the LAPD got mad at CNN for making two stories in the last three weeks there that
were false on CNN about the LAPD. I can tell the LAPD is not happy, this time also the NYPD may
not be along with Quentin Tarantino, unless this thing with the LAPD/NYPD and Tarantino with him
being visited by them is a very very small group that never told headquarters ....would you think it is a
good idea for you to regulate cable also or no???

Obama Proposes $500 Million to Aid Syrian Rebels
Program to Train and Equip Moderate Opposition Would Expand U.S. Role in Civil War

WASHINGTON—The
White House on Thursday proposed a major program to train and arm moderate Syrian rebels, in a
significant expansion of the U.S. role in a civil war that officials fear is bleeding into Iraq and across
the region.The Obama administration requested $500 million—a larger amount than expected—to aid
the Syrian opposition, reflecting growing U.S. alarm at the expanding strength of Islami st forces in
Syria, who in recent weeks have asserted control of large parts of neighboring Iraq and now pose
threats to U.S. allies in the region.Coming on the heels of a decision to send 300 military advisers to
Iraq, the Syrian rebel training elevates the U.S. role in the Middle East.The proposal amounts to a
major U-turn by the administration, which had sought until now to limit its involvement in the war.
However, the expanded U.S. involvement will be on President Barack Obama's terms, by
emphasizing the use of partner forces, and not the direct use of American combat forces.Speaking at
a town-hall meeting in Minneapolis on Thursday, Mr. Obama emphasized that he didn't want U.S.
forces fighting in the Middle East, but said recent violence has focused attention on the region."We've
got to pay attention to the threats that are emanating from the chaos in the Middle East," Mr. Obama
said. Officials stressed there are hurdles to overcome before the expanded Syrian rebel program
goes into effect, including obtaining congressional approval; figuring out how to effectively vet large
numbers of rebel fighters so the U.S. doesn't end up training extremists; and persuading countries in
the region to host the effort. Officials said the program may not actually begin until next year. They
said the first batch of fighters could complete training roughly six to eight months after the proposed
program is authorized and funded by Congress.Still, the move amounts to an about face by an
administration that had sought to strictly limit its role in the Syrian civil war.

That impulse has been countered by the growing crisis in Iraq—which was fueled by militant groups
that have been fighting in Syria. The new program especially, and the existing CIA effort, would focus
on training opposition forces to fight both the regime of President Bashar al -Assad and al Qaedainspired groups, officials said. "They are waking up to the degree and time scale of the problem,"
Andrew Tabler, a Syria expert at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said of the
administration. The new money for the Syrian rebels was contained in the ad ministration's request to
Congress for funding for the country's military operations abroad, in a supplement to the budget
request known as "overseas contingency operations."The administration requested $68.5 billion
overall, including for the Afghanistan war, a new counterterrorism fund and money to shore up
European allies. The money to train Syrian rebels would come out of the $5 billion counterterrorism
fund that includes another $1.5 billion for Syria's neighbors —including Turkey, Jordan and Iraq—to
help those countries secure borders and deal with Syrian refugees.Sen. Lindsey Graham, the South
Carolina Republican and one of the strongest advocates in Congress for a deeper American
involvement in Syria, said the support for rebels was overdue, but predi cted it would receive
bipartisan support."The idea of ignoring Syria and letting it deteriorate is not working out well for us,"
Mr. Graham said. Sen. Carl Levin (D., Mich.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee,
also voiced support, saying the support for Syrian rebels was similar to a recommendation this year
by his committee.The administration proposal didn't specify what weapons would be provided to the
rebels.The opposition has been seeking U.S. approval for antiaircraft weapons, and some la wmakers
have begun to support the idea of supplying them.But the administration continues to fear the
weapons will end up in the hands of the more extremist Islamic fighters who could turn them against
Israel or the West.Despite long-standing reservations, senior U.S. officials began reassessing the
administration's Syria policy as they have made decisions on how to address the Sunni rebellion in
Iraq, which now threatens the government in Baghdad.The proposed Pentagon program would
supplement or replace a covert Central Intelligence Agency-led arming and training program, which
President Obama authorized last year but which critics inside and outside the administration said was
too small to make a difference on the battlefield. "The CIA doesn't do this en m asse. That is what we
do—train militaries," said a senior defense official.While the U.S. has trained military units world -wide,
it is less well versed in dealing with rebel forces —though not inexperienced by any means. In the
1980s, the U.S. supported the Afghan mujahedeen against the Soviet Union, as well as the
Nicaraguan Contras against a leftist government.Mr. Obama pledged in a speech in May at the U.S.
Military Academy at West Point to increase U.S. assistance to the moderate Syrian opposition.
Initially, officials said they expected the administration to earmark about $200 million for the Syrian
train-and-equip program. But officials said the size of the proposed program was increased in recent
days because of conc

Once again, this 'community service' was not made available on broadcast television. Yes streaming
on the internet was made available, but the audio sync was off kilter with what was being viewed. But
what about those of us who do not have dynamite internet connections (dial -up, slow connection
speeds, etc) or no internet connection at all???
These public debates must be made available on broadcast television in the future. These are
important debates for the majority of the public to have access to as not everyone today has Androids
or iPods or even mobile phone service either.
I was not able to watch the debate - I have a dynamite internet connection (40 MB) but the streaming
was so out of sync (audio and video) it was difficult, at best, to know who was talking at any one time.

Does truth matter anymore? CNN (and other outlets) had focus groups and polls with Sanders
winning the Democratic debate and not only aren't these acknowledged in the blanket statements that
Hillary Clinton won, they are scrubbed from the sites, along with any comments in support of Sanders
or pointing out what was done. Then only an edited version of the debate is view -able, with unedited
versions scrubbed or forced off YouTube. Blatantly dishonest. FRAUD. How can any outlet doing
such a thing call itself "news." My journalism professors would be spinning in their graves.

CNN's own polls show that 81% of their viewers think Bernie won.
CNN will not even post the results of their own poll.
The FCC is in charge of consumer complaints, and this consumer is complaining that CNN is
infringing on my right to know the truth. I sincerely hope that this is dealt with and that CNN is forced
to make a public apology not only to the people, but to Bernie Sanders himself.

people. We are not stupid. We know CNN took the original poll down and switched the numbers to
show that Hillary won. We know that Time Warner Cable, who owns CNN, is the 7th largest
contributer to Hillarys campaign with over $500,000. We don't live in China, but it damn well feels like
it. The American people are sick and tired of your DAMN news reporting CNN.

Media reporting post debate was skewed at best but one major issue was CNN's deliberate false
reporting post debate. CNN among most media outlets ran an online viewer poll which along with all
main focus groups determined Bernie Sanders won the debate. As a result, and possibly due to
campaign donations to Hillary Clinton from Time Warner, CNN's parent company, CNN removed the
poll and results and reported Hillary Clinton as the winner in contradiction to what all measurable
metrics were saying including their own poll and focus group. This is a seri ous ethics issue for a news
company and should be looked into even if no action can be taken.

when is a female campaigning that the Coverage is not in any substantial detail. Does journalism and
fairness comes with a tag price for CNN? Am I not as an American female entitled to hear equally
both from a Republican and democrat standpoint that also includes females? Or Am I only going to
hear from political perspective online that advertise for males rather than female s? If it is my
perception why was my concern dismissed by CNN. Could CNN highly that my perception that CNN
provides more headliners regarding male candidates in this 2016 primary is bias for male candidate is
wrong? I don't consider reporting only about females candidates' shortcomings and negative
publicity covering political issues from an unbias perspective when it comes to journalism.

do not know anything" with this current thing with the LAPD/NYPD and Quentin Tarantino there.
Again, I hope the Hollywood Reporter there in Beverly Hills, CA will remove the story from their e
newsletter since the LAPD called the story "movies" and "not true" yesterday there and said they
never heard of the SECOND story with the LAPD/NYPD and the Quentin Tarantino thing. Yes, I am

In 2011 and 2013, I was duped by television manufacturers, television providers and television sales
persons in to purchasing 3D Smart televisions to watch 3D programing. There were two 3D
channels; one pay per view 3D channel and one 'free' 3D channel. We consumers have lost the ' free'
3D channel. We want it back and more 3D broadcast from all sources and networks. I suggest
Television manufacturers should discontinue manufacturing 3D televisions for consumers. Next,
when shopping for 3D media (movies) on disks, you are required to purchase three disks; a 3D disk,
a HD disk and a standard disk when all you want is the 3D disk. I receive my television via rotating
antenna and satellite. I am happy with both.

Time Warner continues to gouge and gouge and gouge. With no competition, why shouldn't it shake
down rural residents? Still, it continues to carve out new territory for its endless greed. The CNN
presidential debates are available online to everyone, even if you don't subscribe to CNN. All you
have to do is identify your provider.
Except, Time Warner which owns CNN is not listed as a provider on CNN Go. Fascinating. We're
already paying too much, but it's not enough for TW. If you want to watch debates on CNN, you have
to subscribe to CNN.
Hey! It's just presidential debates. Why should TW care about the future of the country? It's not like
TW should be patriotic about the country it's bleeding.
TW is so greedy, the last time I complained, I got a lette r that they were happy to talk to me about my
complaint. All I had to do was call them. Of course, they didn't bother supplying a toll free number
because that might have cost them 10 or 15 cents.
Keep enabling TW, good ol' FCC. They're probably paying you better than the US government.

declared Hillary Clinton the winner and now their poll has mysteriously vanished. This is a clear
conflict of interest since CNN's parent company is Time-Warner and they are among Hillary Clinton's
top 10 donors, having already given over $500,000. The press's sole purpose is to report FACTS, not
propaganda. What they are doing is unethical and definitely UN -AMERICAN!

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
At every GOP debate you have allowed one of the Presidential candidates to say vulgar and explicit
innuendos, that goes in to every home and there are young people and children listening, and it is
heard here and around the world. At the last debate he talked about the size o f his penis, he didn't
say penis, but even a child understood what he meant and then intimated that Mr. Romney would
have given him and blow job back when he was running for President if he would have endorsed him.
But this is just 2 incidences where he has made vulgar remarks about the reporter on FOX, and
many, many others. You thought that accidental showing of a singers breast for just a second was
bad enough to fine CBS for their half-time show. I was watching and didn't even catch it.
This is much more egregious than a second of that. This is a slam on the decency of our Political
Process and those who participate. No other candidate or person running for office has ever talked
that way and if they had they would have been silenced. We will be gin a petition against the FCC if
something isn't done to curb this kind of talk every time he is on the media anywhere. It is staining
the honor of the GOP and our political process here and around the world. The younger people think
it is so macho, and the kids ask what it means when he says things and hears the people discussing
it. There is freedom of speech, but I don't think that it means that it should be in prime time and
everyday. If it is may God have mercy on this country that is has fallen to the degree that a
Presidential Candidate has to use vulgar slurs to get attention. We refuse to watch any of the main
stream media anymore after his last filth at the debate.
We heard this on CNN, but we hopped around and every Main Stream Media had th e same thing on.

I am an introvert and call this life long follow thru with a mission. I was watching the presidential
debate and saw this local ad called
click-it rv Nevada street. Of course, I am not going to get on the internet and go to this site because I
know beyond a shadow of a doubt it is filth and entrapment. click-it, like "c lick it" featuring an rv on
Nevada street. Well someone has been reading updates to fbi or liste ning to my speaking while
traveling thru indiana and noticing their ad when you arrive in the state concerning tom tom rv parks.
Well, this reminds me of the indians out of the state of Nevada with rvs and clarence thomas who
peed in a coke bottle. Sorry to be so graffic but I believe that the inner workings of Wells Fargo bank
and their blasse attitutude is now coming back to haunt them. Yes, I believe all of this is emanating
out of Wells Fargo bank who knows I have comcast here in my apartment and yes , I am probably
going to vote for either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump but you dont care fcc, do you??????? The
animosity I have for this going unaddressed, I cannot tell you but I believe it is the california
paperboard mexicans at work from santa clara country. but it started long before that time, can we
clean house at some of these banks, they might have some baggage that should be trashed, do you
want to take it in the rv on nevada street to the local spokane trash dump. I am going there myself to
dispose of o'reilly oracle books with debbie does spokane on fox news. Heh, now wells fargo is
channeling me into deep dark black investment handlers at the stage coach wells fargo. It is dark, it
is hateful, it is disgusting so who at wells fargo is in volved. I can tell you. "c lick it rv" comes from the
al serra chevrolet cruze out of colorado springs with the mexicans on the al serra chevrolet colorado
springs networking, in charge, yes the mexicans. I would send to the fbi also but interesting eno ugh, I
reactivated an old vaio 2001 with interesting results, comodo when queing up the fbi. How does
comodo fit in on a vaio but I would turn the vaio over to the fbi, they will see some pretty disgusting
activities starting in 2001 when working for Oracle. And I went and loaded up a game program and it
asked if I had purchased from Best Buy? This is an old game program, it has some interesting
results also, with the Republic of Fun and a moneky face out of indonesia possibly, 2001 I was still
working for Oracle. Does the fbi want the old vaio, that I turned on again now, it is amazing and
scary. Right now I am sending you this on my apple macbook pro but who can you trust anymore
when they want to get you??????? Maybe the Reputlicans out of Beverly H ills will come up with a
new TV series to handle this reality show?????

Description
I was in a public gym exercising when I saw on the television monitor a young woman, saying "he had
his hand in my underwear and was trying to put his finger in me....he was fondling me inside my
underwear with his finger.....my friend was laying next to m e, and she was naked, and he reached
over and fondling her naked breast.... he said he had taken off all her clothes."
I was shocked and thought this was a pornographic cable show and was about to complain to the
gym management when I saw "CNN" in the corner of the screen. It was on our local station, channel
11. Apparently the show was about campus sexual assault, but while I watched the show for 45
minutes while on the treadmill, at NO TIME was there a warning that the show contained graphic
sexual content. There were teenagers in the gym, and this was a time of day when families and
children are watching television. I was disgusted by the comments this young woman made - the
show could have made its point without the graphic sexual details. I heard other statements on the
show before I left the gym, I did not see the entire show.
It is ironic that in a show purported to be about protecting women from sexual assault, we need to
hear the details of, "he pulled her down on him and removed her sh irt and bra, then tried to remove
her pants". "He put his finger in me and fondled me...".
This is absolutely inappropriate content during family viewing hours. It is shocking and families and
the public should be protected from this pornography.

CNN and their corruption in reporting the news after the Dem ocratic Debate on 10-13-15. They aired
the polls showing Bernie Sanders clearly in the lead but removed those polls and reported that Hillary
was the clear winner. They also edited out several comments that Bernie made during the debate to
suit their needs . Since when is that acceptable??? I think that just like the big banks, the news
empire needs to be broken up. They are way too powerful in what they report across the board in a
supposed democratic and free country. I believe that charges need to be fil ed against them. They are
corrupt.

This encompasses so many broadcasts, but an example would be the GOP 'deba tes' where so much
hate speak is happening. By definition, this is assault and terrorism on the American citizenry. Donald
Trump saying we're going to round up and deport all muslims? Now you have American children in
fear of being kicked out of their home and country. These hate speeches are inciting people to
violence. How can the FCC continue to let this go on? If a person can get arrested for going into a
crowded theater and shouting 'fire', why isn't a person broadcasting hate speech and inciting viol ence
arrested and held accountable? Palin tells her fans to put a target on some congress persons and
then Giffords gets shot in the head. Cause and effect...
It should be the FCC's mission to make sure assault and incitement to violence is NOT broadca st.
There used to be a rule that opinion must be labeled as Opinion, not fact. Then if someone ranted,
everyone knew it was just that person's opinion. Today, so much opinion and hatred is broadcast as
fact. The FCC is failing to protect the rights of the citizenry not to be assaulted. If you need to start
with one person, start with Donald Trump, as he is the most widely seen right now. CNN and other
broadcasters and moderators of these debates MUST stop this hateful behavior. It is the FCC's job to
make sure it is stopped. Will you do your job?

Hello,
CNN has once again bribed the people in charge of the GOP debates. On Feb 25 aprox 70 million
Americans will be blocked from seeing the GOP debate because like myself I can't afford a extra
hundred bucks a month for Fox ,CNN etc. This is a gross violation of free access to information. I
demand that the FCC mandate that all presidential election campaigns be free and accessible to all
Americans not just those that subscribe to CNN!
I hope the FCC has the backbone to take a stance and defend the rights of All Americans to have
FREE Access to voter information. Sadly I am not hopeful that the FCC can do anything but facilitate
this gross injustice being committed upon the American people.

CNN continues to report that Hillary Clinton won the democratic debate on Oct. 13th 2015 aired on
the network. This is patently false and against their own poll results and their own focus group and
quite literally against nearly every poll done that clearly show Bernie Sanders won the debate by a
veritable landslide. As they are owned by Time Warner, which donated $501,000.00 to the Clinton
campaign there is a distinct conflict of interest and motivation for this false reporting about the debate
results.
They have since deleted the post debate poll results from their website and are actively removing
posts from Bernie Sanders supporters as well. I have attached just a small fraction of the polls taken
and their results from CNN and other sources.
Please note that since there was no option to select "false reporting" or "other" on the "TV issues"

the commercial is exceedingly annoying, especially to my family with a small child (15 mo.) in the
house. I also have a concern that the commercial coul d cause health problems because of the the
high rate of light flashing in the commercial.

Description
I pay for internet and TV. If I watch CNN on the TV...no problem. But if I watch CNN using their Xfinity
app or site, it counts towards their 300 GB cap. I understand the y offer a product called Stream TV
which give (among other things) CNN over the internet that DOES NOT count toward the 300 GB
limit. Doesn't sound very "neutral" to me.
I am consistently going over the 300 GB cap and being charged extra for it (almost) every month.
Even without these penalties, they have almost doubled what I pay them for far less service (now that
it's capped).
I can't see how treating my CNN differently than their Stream TV's CNN or CNN over the TV could be
in any way conforming with their obligations...I know it's certainly not in the spirit of those obligations.
I only took traditional TV from them because they told me it was cheaper than just getting internet
from them (I know...strange...they're playing some type of game there). I prefer to stream only, but
these bandwidth caps make that impossible.
If this was the only problem with them, than I likely wouldn't have complained, but they have a long
history of adding charges to my account without me changing, changing my rate plan automatically in
stages so that it's harder to notice the changes and complaining, charging me for sending people to
my house to fix their stuff without disclosing prior that there would be a charge.
If they weren't a virtual monopoly, I'd be gone already. No consumer should have to put up with so
many abusive practices from any one company.

We watch CNN. CNN another turner company went a policy of you must be a cable subscriber in
order to watch their live stream. So, we purchased a plan from Comcast which included the ability to
stream CNN. This plan also included an undisclosed fee for HD service at 9.95 / month. We had this
service for half of a month when we received the data cap message something that we also were n ot
told about when upgrading our service. I contacted Comcast and was told that view CNN live stream
counts against our data and it consumes a lot of data because it only streams in HD. We are on a
budget and were persistent in asking what the total bill w ould be each month. We were told by
several reps that our bill would be right under $70 dollars a month. Our first bill without any data
overage charges was $128. We can't afford that. The neighbourhood that we live in the only service
that you can get is Comcast even though there are other providers in the area. They control the lines
that come into the neighbourhood is what I have been told. We are currently looking to move just to
get rid of Comcast. We are paying to be able to stream CNN. We are paying for HD services. Then
we are being pushed toward extra data charges for using the services that we are paying for. This is
absolutely double billing. Using a service that you are paying for (CNN Live Stream) should not count
against your data cap. If there should even be a data cap. Wonder why America is falling behind the
rest of the world, the answer is corporate greed. How is this data cap plan going to affect students,
small businesses and the entrepreneur? We would have never had upgraded if we knew this would
have been the outcome. The only reason we upgraded was to be able to stream CNN Live and I
can't do that because it will cost me too much.

Description
CNN repeatedly tried to create a false media story that Hillary Clinton had “won the Democratci
debate.”
CNN’s own polls show that 81% of their viewers think Bernie Sanders won.
Until it was called out by the public, CNN attempted to suppress even the results of its own poll.
If this isn’t some Orwellian 1984 behavior, I don’t know what is.
CNN attempted to suppress the fact that Senator Sanders has not only won the debate in the eyes of
every single public opinion poll, but he’s done so by a large margin. Even more important is the fact
that Sanders won all three focus group polls. This is unprecedented because a focus group is a form
of scientific qualitative research that gathers undecided or uncommitted voters for the purpose of
evaluating the candidates' performance in the debates -- Sanders won in the eyes of the people.
1. C-SPAN: Sanders (7.2k) |Clinton (938)
2. TIME: Sanders 60% | Clinton 12%

All three focus groups declared Sanders the victor.
1. Frank Luntz Focus Group: “The participants agreed overwhelmingly that Vermont Sen. Bernie
Sanders was the big winner at the first Democratic debate.”
2. Fusion Focus Group: “Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders was the most popular candidate among a
group of young registered Democrats responding to Tuesday’s Democratic presidential debate in Las
Vegas. The panel voted 8 to 3 for Sanders against the ru nner-up Hillary Clinton, with one panelist
saying it was a tie between the two.”
3. CNN Focus Group: “Majority of CNN Focus Group Think Sanders Won First Debate”

neurosurgeon, made fun of him in Texas, call him looser". Media said nothing. CNN went out to
Carson hometown to investigate his past by talking to his friends, calling his schools/ ar e they FBI?!
Who gave them permission to invade privacy?! Why they didn't investigate Trump?! They damaged
Carson reputation & let Trump open his big dirty mouth even more! What they did is a crime defamation of character & harassment. CNN pathetic actions left me no trust or respect for them.
They must apologize to Carson ASAP. Please take immediate actions to take care of this problem &

Company Complaining About: Cable News Network
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
CNN conducted the last Presidential candidates dabate that se t viewership records. The problem
was that it was not available to persons who did not have satellite or cable service. If you tried to
access it online, you were required to login to your cable or satellite provider. I don't have either, but
rely on an OTA antenna and ROKU. CNN also blocked the feed going to Sky Network (England)
mid-show when they discovered it was being streamed. CNN also did not stream it free on their own
website except for a short "free trial" period near the end of the broadcast. These tactics essentially
lock out many lower income potential voters or many seniors on fixed (usually minimal) incomes.
That's a violation of the requirement to "serve in the public's interest". It would be nice if CNN could
be "induced" to change the policy before the next debat on 10/13 so that ALL citizens had access to
it. Please consider this a formal complaint against Cable News Network.

Numerous networks (Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and others) have been consistently providing free,

these is solely and exclusively a political stump speech, and can in NO WAY reasonably be

this clear violation of FCC regulations.

me that I needed to call a different number since I had a TIVO box connected to my TV. After I called
877-405-2298 a gentleman tried to fix my TV where I could receive CNN in HD. I waited on the
phone with him for quite a while and he told me that it would work in a few minutes if I would go
ahead and hang up??? Since this whole process had taken well over an hour and I had other things
to do I hung up. I turned my TV on this afternoon and I still had no CNN in HD. I call Comcast back
again at 877-405-2298 and spoke to a lady that said she would help me. After I sat on hold with her
for several minutes she said she would transfer me to the TIVO specialist. Imagine my s urprise when
a representative from the TIVO company came on the line and told me that there was nothing they
could do to help me and they had no idea why Comcast would transfer my call to them!!! I cannot
describe how angry I am. Comcast should lose their license to operate because their service is so
horrible and their prices so high.

Ticket: # 894664 - Bernie Sanders Coverage Blackout
Date: 4/5/2016 5:52:42 AM
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I'm not sure if I'm filling this out correctly, but I read up on your page about broadcast journalism and it
says that if the news is rigged or slanted it goes against public interest. CNN has apparently pretty
blatantly disproportionately reported on the Presidential election by ignoring the Sander s' campaign.
While I do realize that in general news outlets do have some amount of leeway in terms of equal time
laws and what they report on in terms of the candidates, I don't think there's a doubt that Senator
Sanders, while still behind, does have a s ignificant backing of followers behind him and has been
winning primaries and caucuses by close margins so deserves some amount of equal treatment and
coverage to that respect. Yet coverage of Sanders by CNN has been scant at best to the point that
they even ignored and didn't even acknowledge the protesters that were outside of their own building
protesting the fact that they're doing this. Your own site says, "rigging or slanting the news is a most
heinous act against the public interest," and I feel that the sentiment applies in this situation because
it is a disservice to the public and voting base to not get fair and equal news coverage of a candidate.
While I know there's an exception in place, I feel like CNN has truly abused this exception to the
extreme and it may be time for the FCC to intervene on behalf of the public and perhaps consider
revising the equal time regulations. This seems to be beyond fair and an abuse of their broadcasting
power to the point of absolute ridiculousness.
This story is widely reported, but here's a link for starters:
http://www.salon.com/2016/04/04/bernieblackout_sanders_supporters_occupycnn_to_protest_lack_o
f_coverage/
I'm sure you can find others and contact the outlets for other forms of corroborating evidence.

CNN televised the Democratic debate on the night of October 13, 2016. After the actual debate, a

As a local elected official in Mercer County, New Jersey our office receives requests from

company, in this case, Comcast Cable. This is a senior citizen living on an extremely limited fixed
income who can only afford the very basic cable service. In her building Comcast is the only provider
available; they are not allowed dishes, or any other provider. On March 9th there was a Presidential
Debate that was being held in Spanish; if you wanted to hear it in English you had to turn to CNN.
However, to this person's dismay CNN is not in basic cable so she was unable to watch the
Presidential Debate. She does not have a computer; she had no options that the rest of us take for
granted. She felt that her basic privledge as a citizen to see a Presidential Debate was denied
because of her limited income. She felt this was discrimination and not fair.

cut cable and satellite because it was costly junk. Now, they have exclusives on Presidential
debates? This is ridiculous.
And, the same should apply to sports, which enjoy tax breaks (or, in the case of college sports, publi c
subsidies). Old movies, stupid partisan news programs, are one thing, but being denied participation
in a Presidentisl debate, choosing this country's leader, without paying ransoms to CNBC, CNN, FOX,
is pretty outrageous.

and every time they told me that the deal included NO EQUIPMENT and only 20 TV channels, mainly
the ones you could get by putting a coat hanger on the back of your TV. It didn't include the most
"basic" channels like CNN, Comedy Central, HGTV, etc. They immediately tried to SWITCH to other
plans with the necess ary equipment, basic channels, and NO Showtime or HBO and still ranged in
price from $130-$180!

Description
Hi,
I've been a loyal customer with Verizon Customer for 12+ years with their limited minutes plan and
unlimited data. I used to pay $29.99 per month for the unlimited data plan. However, as of this
month's bill Verizon raised the price to $49.99 for the unlimited data without notice! I have 2 lines with
that plan and they both got changed without any notices.
I believe that this is completely unfair for them to do as they've tried numerous times to get me to
move from my unlimited data plan. Over the course of being a customer with Verizon they've taken
away the following:
1. $100 Upgrade Reimbursement towards any contract I renew once it expires
2. Free Phone Upgrades on contract renewal
3. Discounted phone prices with contract renewal
I hope the FCC can do something regarding this case as it's completely unfair to the only 1% of their
customers that still have the unlimited data plan. Verizon spokesman Chuck Hamby said the
company will take the extra revenue to reinvest in strengthening its cell phone network in the CNN
story (http://money.cnn.com/2015/10/08/technology/verizon -unlimited-plan-increase/) which I believe
is completely bogus statement to use just towards the people who have unlimited data.

Cox Communications provides very poor TV service, with the sound always out of sync with the
picture. It also forces bundled services and then raises rates on one of the services, then has internet
and telephone access to upgrade or buy services but does not allow disconnecting from their services
on the web, or by phone on the weekend, unlike sales or upgrades, which are always available.
Customers are also not allowed to disconnect without a pitch from a salesperson, And the company
takes advantage of its internet provider monopoly in this location to force s ubscription to its TV
service, othewise charging exorbitant fees for internet connection. The TV service is of poor quality
and a very bad deal--$29/month for a basic package so anemic it doesn't even provide CNN.

Description
My ISP provider is trying to force me into dropping my account with them. I have had Virgin Mobile
as my ISP provider for several years. My internet account is suppose to provide me with 3G/4G LTE
wi-fi connection, with unlimited access. But recently, Virgin Mobile has decided to limit my internet
access to 3G only. They have slowed my access to the internet so severally that, it's all but standing
still. By blocking my access to 4G, they are using my wi-fi device to throttle my internet speed.
My 3G connection is so slow that, if I try loading the web page for CNN News (http://www.cnn.com/) it
will take 15 minutes or more to load, and, when the page finally does load, the layout of the page is
completely screwed up. I am disabled and can't get out much so, I rely heavily on Amazon for much
of my shopping needs. When I try to order something from Amazon, it now takes me 3 or 4 attempts
to get my order through. It takes so long to load a page that, the page will time out an d I have to start
over again. Watching a movie on my Netflix or Amazon account, is just not possible.
I ran the AT&T Internet Speed Test (www.att.com/speedtest/) and my test results were: Download
Speed 0.34 mbps (42 KB/sec transfer rate) and Upload Speed 0.36 mbps (44.4 KB/sec transfer rate).
i.e. Downloading a 5mb mp3 file would take about 2 minutes an d a 35mb video clip would take about
14 minutes.
My ISP has failed to provide me with the service it advertised: 3G/4G LTE wi -fi connection, with
unlimited access. By cutting my access to 4G, they have affectively throttled my wi -fi device.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
Hello,
For the second time as a Time Warner Cable customer I have experienced TWC blocking service to
my most viewed channel on an evening of high TV interest, such as tonight's political debate. The
only channel I watch is CNN and occasionally HBO.
So, tonight TWC decided to cancel my subscription to CNN knowing that millions of viewers like me
have no regress, accept pay an upgrade for service that I ALREADY had! I know this was a
widespread issue, because the technical support representative at TWC told me she received back to-back calls tonight about the same issue.
This is not the first time this has happened. Last year, I was prepared to watch the the Premier of
Mad Men. TWC decided, on the night of the premier, to cancel my HBO subscription. So, that night I
was forced to upgrade my service and pay more each month for Basic Cable.
If I have had to do this two times, imagine how much money TWC makes each time they block
meaningful service from their customers. If I had desperately agreed to have CNN turned back on, I
would have had to agree on an additional $60.00 per month for ONE channel. Instead, I opted for
upgrading to a new box which costs $1.00. NOTE: The box only costs $1.00 for a limited time. This
was offered to me after I threatened to contact TWC's CEO. If you can imagine how man y people
were forced to upgrade tonight in exchange for a service they already had, I am sure TWC is making
a serious profit!
I understand that watching TV is not vital to my health and I could just re ad the paper and/or a book.
But that is not what I am paying for. I am a customer, like millions of others, paying for a service
which is my conduit to information about what is going on in the world. I rely on TWC for this.
My points are brief, but I hope I have captured the essence of the trap that TWC marketing schemes
create for millions of consumers.
This is just one indication of what is wrong in the world - powerful companies taking advantage of
consumers whose regress is limited.
I hope, by reaching out to the FCC, you will investigate the dirty business taking place at TWC.
I am outraged and I hope you too find it disturbing enough to support my efforts in making TWC
accountable for their scam.
Sincerely,

Germany's. I read an article that French use their intelligence agency mostly for economic
espionage. During the Cold War the US and the Soviet Union tapped the under water international
communication cables. Could they sabotage or access US corporations doing the same an d their
attacks merely be a distraction? Slowing employees down minute by minute would be valuable to the

of poll is picture every where. It is wrong on so many levels I can't list them all but it's very unfair to
the public and they should not be allowed to do this! It is censorship of public opinion! We ALL

emergency, or who would have called it: it only said that it was called by unnamed "civil authorities."
The audio did not provide any emergency information; it was instead dialog related to a bedroom
situation, and was embarrassing to listen to, in addition to blocking all content. The interference
coincided with the replies of one particular debater--not all debaters.

Comcast agreed to a renewal of our original contract for cable & internet service at our commercial

inquired with Comcast about the change of channels now being received and they told us that the
package we originally had no longer existed OR was done in error. Had we known this prior to
executing a renewal agreement, we would have switched carriers. Rather than be honest and
forthright with the situation, Comcast concealed this information only to disclose such facts after
execution of a renewal contract. We made a reasonable attempt to have Comcast honor their
commitment; yet they refused to do so. We later filed a BBB complaint to which they responded
defensively. Our next option was to contact the FCC; hence, we are doing so.

I pay over $100/month for DISH TV. The dispute between WINK TV (CBS) and DISH TV caused a
blackout in my area for about a month. For obvious reasons, this took place during the football
playoffs. I look forward to these games and was distraught that I was being used as a pawn for these
companies to manipulate each other for increased profits. Due to their stubborn greediness, I was
forced to watch all NFL playoffs on my iPad. I became very stressed out when it appeared there
would not be a resolution before the Super Bowl. To ensure that I would be able to watch it on my
television, I had to purchase a $70.00 antenna at Best Buy. Fortunately, this dispute was resolved the
day before the Super Bowl. As a loyal consumer who always pays her bills on time, I should not have
to be subjected to all this stress and inconvenien ce. Then to "punish" the consumer (me) again, I
received a bill with a $5.00/month increase. Last year, the same thing happened when CNN was
blacked out. This is unacceptable and some action needs to take place to protect consumers. Why
are these companies being allowed to steal money from millions of subscribers without any
consequences? This is spiraling out of control and action (other than my ignored letters) needs to
take place to prevent these companies from continuing to abuse and hold consumers hostage.

What is the legality of AT&T increasing the price on grandfathered contracted plans? Is this going to

the contract they are in the wrong, but when a business breaches contract noone says a word. Of
course this is an attempt to push customers off their contracted plans so AT&T can cushion their
annual income stmts with these new mobile share plans; which by the way, are nothing more than a
deceptive marketing ploy that makes the customer think they are saving money when it is in fact for
the benefit of AT&T that is already making billions. This should be interesting...Would like to
understand the purpose of increasing the plan by $5...even though its rhetorical. Would like to see
how well AT&T convolutes the response.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/AT-T-offering-unlimited-mobile-data-to-DirecTV-and-U-Versecustomers_id77344
Announced to public the same day we where denied buying data from ATT to access the Internet
from a Mt Olive NC house. While u-verse cable is near, DSL ports full, ATT owns direct TV but again
ATT blocked access over 100gb by charging 15.00 for 1gb in that house. Our back fees are huge.
What happened?
ATT offers this now in that area.
Broachers From ATT, direct TV and access continually taunt this mailing address. (?Selective
servicing and pricing?) ATT now offers to everyone what we have been trying to get, but denied.?
http://money.cnn.com/2016/01/11/media/att-directv-unlimited-data/
?Please sign us up for your Direct TV and unlimited data plan.
ATT had a solution all along! But apparently did not know about it.
Sign us up Please!?
Two Satelite dishes are already on the property. Our family member rents the extra apartment in that
house.
We are willing to buy this product ATT offers. Sold. Please call! We want to buy this service offered to
everyone.

Description
I have internet service with a company called CenturyLink. They advertise internet speeds up to 1.5
mbs. My connection is so slow that no internet pages will display. I have been doing some tests the
previous week and have consistently not been able to even get an internet site to open within 15
minutes. Twice it took 10 minutes to get a partial display on the screen. I was using the web site
cnn.com as my test site. The speed that I'm getting is around 600 kbs which is less that half of the
advertised speed and not usable at all. I'm paying monthly for a service that is unusable. I spoke
with a company representative and they indicated that the slow speed was a result of my location. I
live in the second largest city in Oregon and 25 blocks from where their signal is generated in
downtown Eugene. The company is ripping off consumers and not supporting a service that they are
providing.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I live in an Atlanta suburb. There is only one cable TV operator serving my zip code, and this is
especially true for fiber service. Two months ago, the price of my service jumped from $130 to $180
per month. When I called to explore options for controlling the cost, I was told I had no options other
than to sign a two year contract that would give me a $30 reduction per month. I called Comcast,
who told me they do not provide service in my area. I got the same response from Charter.
Therefore, ATT and the competition seem to have gotten together and decided to create minimonopolies and no competition in certain areas. Is this acceptable?
I have further been told that since the merger of ATT with DirecTV they want to force customers to
migrate from fiber to the dish. This is a further manipulation of custome rs through billing.
Since I took Uverse service 7 years ago, I have received no maintenance service and I am still using
a now obsolete router that I pay rent for every month, old set boxes and remotes. The boxes crash
often and I can be assured of a signal loss at least twice per month.
I am quite concerned that this poor quality and poor service are all I can look forward to if I want to
watch CNN or even local stations. What can be done?

Consumer did not receive a copy of TWC's December 2015 letter from ticket # 501114. I read a
portion of that to him, and am sending out a copy. The consumer is ques tioning a statement on his
current TWC bill: "TWC proposes subscriber charges to cover the costs of complying with its
governmental obligations" - he does not know what this statement means to him. The consumer also
has concerns with having to rent a digital convertor box for $8.99/month from TWC, when he is
allowed to purchase and use his own equipment. Previously, the consumer was given info from an
FCC rep on the option of getting a Roku device. With a Roku device, it will get him 300 channels,
however, he will not be able to view CNN or FOX News. TWC states, in their November 2015
response, which the consumer did receive, that they must decline the use of his equipment. The
consumer states that TWC did not look at his equipment, so how can they de cline the use of it? The
consumer is also wondering why (in 2012-2013) he was able to get TV for a year and four months all the channels, the best picture, the best sound - without a digital box? I have read some of the
FCC info to the consumer on the use of consumer purchased, set-top boxes and the use of a
CableCARD from TWC. He has stated that he does not feel that he should have to purchase and use
a TWC CableCARD with his own device. Please review this situation. Thank you. (phone - CAMS

Company Complaining About: Cnbc
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
As a concerned citizen trying to sort out the complexities of the 2016 election cycle I have become
quite concerned about inequities in tv coverage of debates.
1. Why have the democratic debates so far been covered by a national network where anyone can
have access to them for free when all of the Republican debates have appeared on cable news
networks that require participation in a second tier or higher subscription. At least CNN streamed
their debate on the internet for free. CNBC did not. I listened to it on the radio. What ever happened
to equal time and equal access.
2. Why do I have to be a paying member of cable TV to be able to participate in the political process?
3. CNBC's moderators were obviously pursuing their own agenda. It wasn't a debate but rather a
gauntlet of attacks with a tone considerably different from the democratic debate. I thought the
"airways" (policed by you) belong to the public and use of those airways require a responsibility to
serve the public good. It appears that that is not the case as far as political debates are concerned.

I unplug my TV to avoid possible power surge damage whenever I plan to be away for more than a

Some channels are active but not the major ones such as CNN, ESPN, etc. I have to call Comcast
and go through a rigamarole to have the suspended channels reactivated. I think Comcast sh ould
rebate to the consumer the money they (Comcast) save by turning off channels whenever they
detect the TV set is not in use for a period of time. I was told by a Comcast customer service rep
that the company does not make such rebates. Also, if Co mcast can detect when a TV is
unplugged, they should be able to detect when it is back in use and immediately reactivate channels
without necessity of user calling and wading through their various menus and frustrations. I'd
appreciate FCC's action and I will also communicate with consumer advocacy groups concerning this
issue. Thank you for your help.

Ticket: # 544607 - VITAC's all caps captioning
Date: 9/22/2015 2:45:22 PM
City/State/Zip: Glendale, Colorado 80246
Company Complaining About: Vitac
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
The captioning vendor, VITAC, continues to provide its clients with caption dialogue in the ALL CAPS
format, despite the FCC Quality order stating that the captions must use "appropriate...capitalization
to reflect natural linguistic breaks and the flow of the dialogue."
Several studies have determined that all-caps text is slower to read than mixed case. With captioning
required to display verbatim content, the text tends to move fast, so readability is a must. In fact, one
caption vendor, CaptionMax, has recently switched to a mixed-case format around the same time that
the quality rules were instated.
All-caps captioning may have been necessary when the early decoders lacked proper rendering for
lower-case letters; but in today's era of high-definition, there is virtually no excuse for this practice.
VITAC's ugly all-caps format can be seen on networks like ABC, CNN, Cartoon Network, and
Discovery. I don't know how much of this format is a result of vendor defaults or client requests, but I
am displeased with the quality being provided, and I feel it is a violation of the FCC's caption quality
guidelines. If the FCC feels otherwise, I would still request that my comments be forwarded to the
company in question.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I have been a customer with Verizon wireless for over 10 years if not longer and I pay my bill
generally on time and don't abuse my unlimited data plan which has been grandfathered in as per
their own policy. The fact that Verizon can get away with increasing my bill by $20 a month without
having to go through a public notice period or more formal push back from government regualtors is
unfortunate. With little to few options for wireless carriers in many rural locations in North Carolina
where I live makes this company's actions almost monopoly like and s hould at a minimum be
questioned by federal regulators. Verizon's business practice of increasing their customers "rent" on
their network where less than 1% of users (as per CNN Money article 10/8/15) have unlimited data is
a dangerous example of how large company's like Verizon can get away with whatever actions they
want in complete disregard for customer loyalty. Its another example of how the people are at a
disadvantage when large corporations get to dictate their own policies without government over sight.
It is almost is not worth being loyal to a company since they will not return the favor. Now a
longstanding customer has to find an alternative carrier because Verizon cares more about making
an extra $20 a month on the less than 1% of customers than it does brand loyalty. Its a shame that
verizon does not have to answer to a stronger FCC regulator who will protect main street from wall
street.

I was informed via email that my cable boxes may need to be upgraded so that they can work with
enhanced HD. I have 2 DVRs and one older HD box. It turned out the the only box that needed to be
upgraded was the HD box.
This is just one of many examples of horrible customer service from Comcast that I have
experienced over the years.
I went to channel 1995 on that box and said I would self install. Three days later 2 Xfinity X1 boxes
arrived. I have no idea why. These were then returned. Today I received a replacement for the HD
box and I self- activated it using the your website.
After waiting several minutes, I could not receive any channels except 2 -35. No HD, no Premium
channels, no CNN, no nothing. I called Comcast and got someone who said he wo uld help me. These
problems have happened in the past to me and are usually fixed in under 5 minutes.
This employee was hopeless. He asked for the serial number of the offending box which I gave him.
Then he asked for the serial numbers of the other 2 boxes which was completely pointless. I had to
crawl around to get in back of these boxes to get the serials. Finally after about 30 minutes he asked
someone else in Comcast what to do and this other person told him what to do. After 40 minutes, the
box worked
I find the people in your tech support to be extreme incompetent. I have been a customer here for 12
years and your people get more useless as the years roll on.

Description
I pay for 25mbps download speeds over comcast cable. For the past few days, I've been getting less
than 1 mbps. I called comcast and they said that all they can do is reset my modem (which I did) and
send out a service technician. I tried explaining that since my upload speeds are much faster than
my download speeds, I'm confident that this is a problem on their end, not mine and that sending a
technician won't help. The fellow that I spoke to apologized that comcast makes him stick to a script,
and that his background is as a bartender (and thus has no relevant knowledge to help me). He said
that he might be able to help me more if I had a comcast cable modem, but this sou nds untrue
because I bought a comcast compliant modem. It sounds like an effort to make me rent a modem
from them, which seems wrong. Comcast is the only internet service provider with wires in my
apartment building, and I wish that they had some competi tion. It's incredibly frustrating to not be
able to work from home or stream services that I've paid for because of comcast. When I call
comcast, the most that they'll do for me is refund a day or two of service, which is only a few dollars.
It takes me longer on the phone to get these few dollars than it's worth. What twists the knife is that
comcast knows that I have no other option for high speed service, so it's not like they have to care.
I haven't provided my real name or contact info because I'm not comfortable giving my information to
comcast, because I've read about them retaliating against customers
(http://money.cnn.com/2015/01/29/news/companies/comcast-asshole-bill/index.html). For as bad as
my situation is now, I'm afraid of upsetting comcast and making it worse.

Description
Via Apple TV, ABC was not captioning its Democratic National Committee LIVE debate on 12/19/15. I
tried to find ABC News on web via my phone or desktop, it was not even captioned as well. Only via
cable tv or dish, it seems it was captioned according to some people I asked via Facebook. My
complaint is it is an Apple TV, so it should be captioned regardless which medium is being used :
Roku, Apple TV, Dish, Cable and etc. Then after the fact it was on a "TV" and by law should be
captioned on-line, so the next day I checked on line and was not able to find anything captioned via
ABC that hosted and aired it. This is unequal access thus preventing me from being able to
understand the debate that affects our lives, our rights even. FCC should look into this and make
them captioned and captioning in the future on any live shows that is viewed via boxes such as
AppleTV/Roku and so on as equal as those via cable/dish. In this case, I used Apple TV via internet,
which is connected via a cable that is hooked to a modem via ABC app that was available on Apple
TV. (this was from which TV method you asked below...) With emphasis, when options for s ubtitling
or captioning, it was available but no captioned showed up during the debate. This was function able
during the Republican Live debate via CNN, which was captioned. ABC failed to do the same. I did
not contact ABC News because based on experience most organizations do not respond hence I am
filing directly with FCC. Thank you.

City/State/Zip: Snellville, Georgia 30078
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
This is my second complaint on this topic. Currently my internet bill averages around $145 a month.
This gives me a 105Mbps service with a 300GB Usage limit. I have disconnected all my cable TV
services and stream anything that I watch. So a few movies in HD and a few shows in HD over a 2-3
weeks hits this limit easily.
So, I find myself constantly hitting this limit and passing it every month. Whenever I go over the limit I
have to pay $10 for 50GB of additional usage. So, now I end up having to pay multip le overage
charges as I hit the new limits. So my bill has an additional $20 to $30 dollars in overage charges
every month. This alone makes my blood boil.
However, every time I have been coming close to the limits the internet services slows down to
approximately 1-2Mbps and I'm hardly able to get to cnn.com or stream anything. This has been
consistently happening every time I reach a limit every month.
Instead of directly competing with Netflix, HBONow, ShowTime, and NFLNow streaming services.
Comcast is just charing an inordinate amount for the internet service, then charging usage fees and
slowing down the internet service every time you hit a limit.
When I called in to Comcast Security Assurance at 1(877) 807 -6581 today I was told they had to
reset notification settings on my account in order to restore internet service. This is clearly a speed
throttling/slowdown issue.
This is my second complaint about the service.

Our plans were grandfathered in and Verizon has tried every sneaky thing they can to g et our plans
away and have succeeded in tricking some people out of theirs. They tricked me out of one of my
features in 2010 by activating a replacement phone and dropped my unlimited tethering without
telling me and the only way I knew is I went to use it and it was gone so I called them they wouldn't
give it back. These guys need to be stopped from trickery and randomly add and do what they want
to the customers with grandfathered in plans. They wouldn't honor our plan by letting us upgrade our
phones unless we changed our plan to a limited data plan or pay full retail for a phone. They have
talked people into giving up their unlimited data plan saying they never go over a certain amount then
all of a sudden their bills are very high. They told me I ne ver went over 5 gb and in the same
conversation told me I only used 13 gb. They have also been throttling our data when I ask support
about it several of the support team said they was and there was nothing we could do about it.
Please stop them from raising our rates right now I pay 314.00 a month I have 4 devices if they raise
my rate I'll be paying almost 400.00 a month I can't afford that.

Price Increase

Description
To whom this may concern:
First, Verizon informed me I would no longer be able to subsidize phone despite paying the subsidy
for years. (In essence, I have paid for a phone that I never had in my possession) Then, Verizon
informed me I could pay full price ($700+) for cell phone an d keep my unlimited data plan. Now,
Verizon has informed me (via CNN.com) without much notice that my bill will increase in the next
month (by ~$100) despite extending contract by paying month -to-month in reliance of unlimited data
service and paying full price for a phone. Therefore, in reliance of their promise, I have paid well over
~$700+ for a phone despite paying subsidy from contract in addition to suffering by keeping old
phones on other lines because paying full price for a (~$700+) phone is too expensive to spread
across four lines (DESPITE paying subsidy on all four lines).
This is beyond deceptive business practice. This is beyond lying to consumers. This is beyond billing
confusion. This is downright stealing regarding payment of a monthly sub sidy for phones we could not
subsidize.
The Verizon representative told me he understood my valid point regarding the subsidy but that there
was nothing he could. He informed me Verizon was going to increase each line by $20 regardless.
Hence, this FCC complaint. There is something that can be done. Verizon was created on behalf of
the government. Verizon is still in business because of hefty contracts with the government. We the
people are the government and that is why we have the FCC and why I feel som ething should be
done about this.
Thank you in advance for consideration of my complaint.
With warm regards,

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
From Day one, I have been over charged up to 70.00 in over charges in various months. I signed up
with Comcast last June, 2015 (believe in the second week, 17th). My promotion was suppose to be
49.99 for Xfininty TV, internet & HD DVR
a month for 12 months.. ... includes ESPN, HGTV, CNN, AMC, USA, DISNEY plus Free HBO for 24
months and free installation. I still have my brochure. My very first bill was 114.18 to which it should
have been in the area of 59.00 with rental boxes for the TV. I have had to call comcast almost every
month because my bill was wrong just about every month, spending numerous hours in one day for
one call. Everyone always said this deal was to good to be true, did not exist etc. On top of my bill
being wrong from the first month, and multiply months throughout the 12 months, C omcast has then
added late charges to my bill to which why would I pay the bill if my bill is wrong from them. I am
furious with them, my ending bill this past June had new charges of 196.97 due to I was 10 days out
of the promotion, this is bs!! I have taken the promotion flyer to their location in Royal Oak to talk in
person and they are unable to help as they say they don't deal with these issues there (I waited over
a hour to be told this)
Thank you

TV on their cable System

City/State/Zip: Watertown, New York 13601

Description
RE:Comcast is Quietly Suffocating MSNBC and will not allow FUSION TV on their cable System.
Where's the FCC and Congress?
Now, the ED Show and Al Sharpton are gone from MSNBC. Who’s next? Rachel? Lawrence? And at
CNN? Anderson? Wolf Blitzer?
Who’s the next talking head to roll because they disagree with the conservative’s viewpoint that
Comcast’s management has? And Americans are being less informed in the process.
MSNBC is being set up as an underperforming asset; Comcast's sacrificial contribution to their
conservative politics. CNN is already going down this road too.
These losses can fairly be considered indirect contributions to their broader conservative agenda,
which is why it would not be without precedent for Comcast to be driving a wedge between MSNBC
and its audience.
Notoriously conservative Comcast's aim is to put down MSNBC without drawing political fire or the
FCC's attention.
"That was among the many concerns when, in 2011, Comcast was granted approval to acquire NBC.
Whether or not Keith Olbermann's then-immediate departure was forced or by choice remains
undetermined. But it raised the ugly specter of a freshly-empowered conservative
telecommunications behemoth crushing an increasingly essential counterbalancing voice, something
that might not sit well across the aisle when future acquisitions (aka Time -Warner) came under
legislative review."
And Congress and the FCC decided, “NO!”
"Consider Rupert Murdoch famously operating the NY Post at a loss for decades, for the political
influence it buys him.
Consider Clear Channel unceremoniously terminating Howard Stern's profitable six-station
syndication deal, when, in 2004, he turned 180º against Bush and the Iraq invasion/occupation.
Consider Clear Channel paying ridiculous sums to Rush Limbaugh as his ratings decline.
These losses can fairly be considered indirect contributions to the broader conservative agenda,
which is why it would not be without precedent for Comcast to be driving a wedge between MSNBC
and its audience." And terminating the ED Show and now Rev. Al Sharton has done more of just that.
This has nothing to do with ratings as Comcast claims.
My daughter works for FUSION TV in Miami, Florida. Fusion just laid off 40 employees because they
can’t get picked up by Comcast. I’m not sure about Time Warner Cable. She’s still working but will be
looking for another station soon she told me. Jorge Ramos works for FUSION and with the recent flap
over him and Donald Trump, maybe there’s a connection. Fusion is a very progressive voice in our
country and we certainly need more of these rather than less.
MSNBC had every opportunity, for example, to repurpose and promote segments from weekday
programs that only air once on weekends, at virtually no additional expense.
Comcast has every opportunity to promote MSNBC across its properties."
But they don’t. Why?
"MSNBC's weekend programming remains largely littered with off-message prison and gotcha
sensational programming - to many, entirely alienating and unwatchable - unrelated to their weekday
fare and irrelevant to what their core audience has reason to expect from a legitimate news outlet."
[Mediate]
"But COMCAST should not be in a position to influence public opinion to the extent that they have
attained.
Rather than determining if, say, Comcast should be allowed to acquire Time -Warner, and CNN,
FOX’s other competitor, the debate should be about breaking up these media giants, along the lines
of too-big-to-fail banks." [Mediate]
One wonders what deal, Comcast and /or Phil Griffin has made with Roger Ailes and regulators that
allowed the NBC Univers al/ Comcast merger.
For Comcast to have said that they weren’t going to change anything about MSNBC and NBC was
disingenuous.
So where are those in Congress that support Freedom of Speech?
For the conservatives to implement a coup in America, all they need are the three “Ms”- Money,
military and the media.
At this rate, conservatives will own all the media soon. Then all Americans can watch FOX-like
programming 24/7.
Freedom of speech’s extinction is not more than one generation of media - mergers away.
William F. Buckley used to argue his positions, but now opposing views can be bought and silenced;
like it or not. This needs to be investigated and stopped.

"Mr. Griffin said that a general apathy about American politics has also hurt the network.

he said. “That’s had an impact. But we’ve got to adjust; we’ve got to evolve.”

Well, with remarks like that, Phil Griffin is In Roger Ailes and Comcast's pockets.
Please look into the NBC Universal/ Comcast merger. They are not doing what they agreed to do
when they said they wouldn’t change MSNBC. We need choice for news in the United States.
Many of the stories that we see on all networks are determined by what’s in their financial interests
rather than what’s important for Americans to know.
Thank you for your time and careful consideration.

Description
In today's world we live in a society able to access more information than humans have ever had
access to. While there's 1000 new news apps, websites, and twitter accounts designed to deliver
people information every day, we still look to the familiar names to decide on what we think is true
and what we think is false. CNN, NBC, and Fox News have cornered the market as the news
organizations able to weather this storm, and by doing so, they seem to be the most familiar news
source to a lot of people. But imagine one or all of these news organizations are reporti ng in a
manner to disregard the truth journalism is suppose to expose and instead twist stories with
irrelevant, false, and vindictive information designed to sway public opinion towards their own beliefs.
This or these organizations are morally corrupting America and reporting false information mostly
regarding certain religious or political factions. Since below I have to cite a certain channel, I will shift
the focus of my complaint over to Fox News. They're infamous for the lies they tell and for publi cly
doing the bidding of the republican party. I have no quarrel with republicans, however the news is not
the place for that. Also the purposeful negative tone taken towards Muslims is 100 percent
unacceptable in today's society. Just to site a few examp les, this article describes and provides a
video of Fox purposely using an irrelevant video from 2011 to create a negative depiction of Muslims,
all the while claiming they're not doing exactly what they are doing.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/9/28/1425732/-Watch-John-Oliver-Bust-Fox-News-For-FalsifyingRefugee-Video. On the FCC website, it says that content falls under the category of prohibited if, "The
material, taken as a whole, must lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value." If fake news
doesn't fall under this catagory then I dont know what else does. These people are repected as
newsman by the public who don't know any better between what they're being told and the the truth.
These lies have no value, and need to be stopped . Please FCC, whoever happens to come across
this, please don't disregard this complaint.

Subject: Mike Reagan: Trump Is No 'Reagan' Republican
Michael Reagan: Trump Is No Reagan Republican
By MICHAEL REAGAN
Mr. Trump, I knew Ronald Reagan. And you’re no Ronald Reagan!
Of course, I am stealing that line — with a twist.
Donald Trump shouldn’t mind. He’s been stealing my dad for his own purposes. Trump frequently
invokes Ronald Reagan’s name to defend his sudden, 180 -degree switch from being a life-long, proClinton Democrat to a Reagan Republican.
Both men did make a switch, but almost all the similarities between the two end there. Ronald
Reagan’s odyssey from Hollywood liberal to conservative backer took place over almost two
decades.
Starting with his 1964 “Time for Choosing” speech that galvanized Americans for Barry Goldwater,
Dad began a 16-year effort of crisscrossing America to support conservative candidates for office.
My dad also served eight years as California’s governor. When he ran for president, he had a proven
conservative track record.
Donald Trump doesn’t have one. In fact, Trump still can’t explain his sudden change from being a
liberal Democrat. When Dad ran in 1980, Trump donated the maximum amount to Jimmy Carter.
As the Wall Street Journal reported, Trump also donated to a PAC for Walter Mondale, who ran
against Dad in 1984.Trump has criticized some candidates for their indiscretions made during their
childhood.
But what can you say for a grown adult who supported both Carter and Mondale over Ro nald
Reagan?
One of my dad’s most important lessons to me was how to uncover a phony. He told me not to judge
people by what they say; judge them by what they actually do . As president, Dad used this “trust but
verify” principle on the Soviets and it worked.
Voters today should apply Reagan’s verify principle on Trump.
During the 2008 election, Trump told CNN that he wanted President George W. Bush impeached.
Then, during Obama’s first year in the White House, after he rammed through Congress a $800
billion stimulus and proposed a radical health care takeover, Trump praised the president, saying he
was “amazing” and “truly phenomenal.”
Obama’s then chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, was a player in passing Obamacare. Rahm eventually
left the White House to run for Chicago’s mayor. In 2010, Trump actually donated $50,000 to Rahm’s
mayoral campaign!
Just last year Trump told “60 Minutes” he wants single-payer health care like they have in Canada
and Britain. It’s nothing less than socialized medicine.
For most of his life Trump had been a Democrat, backing strong gun control and abortion rights.
Today he says he’s for the Second Amendment and pro-life. But when asked who he’d like for the
Supreme Court, he suggested his sister, a sitting federal judge. It turns out she’s liberal and pro choice.
Trump also donated to Hillary Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign. In 2012, after she had served
almost four years as secretary of state, Trump had nothing but praise for her. He told CNN: “I think
she does a good job ... The record of Hillary Clinton and how did she do as secretary of state,
probably above and beyond everybody else.” Folks, this was in 2012.
Still, at some point Trump says he became a conservative. I am not sure when. In 2012, Trump
sharply criticized Mitt Romney.
“He had a crazy policy of self-deportation which was maniacal,” Trump said of Romney’s plan for the
nation’s illegal immigrants.
“It sounded as bad as it was, and he lost all of the Latino vote,” Trump said. “He lost the Asian vote.
He lost everybody who is inspired to come into this country.”
Trump’s own plan today calls for mass deportation. Go figure. I almost need a chart to keep tabs on
Trump’s ever-changing positions.
This past September, Trump was the first Republican candidate to call for the U.S. to open its doors
to Syrian refugees. He told Bill O’Reilly, “I hate the concept of it, but on a humanitarian basis, with
what’s happening, you have to.”
He quickly backtracked on that. Then he came out for a total ban of all Muslims into the U.S.
I don’t doubt for a second the Donald is a great and funny entertainer. He’s always playing to his
audience.
Today, it’s Reagan conservatives. Tomorrow, I am afraid, it may be liberals in Washington. Come
Election Day, should Reagan Republicans vote for Donald Trump?
Recently, I tweeted the answer: “You can’t be a Trump Republican and a Reagan Republican. It’s
time to choose.”
Michael Reagan is the eldest son of President Ronald Reagan. A best-selling author, syndicated
columnist and commentator, he chairs the Reagan Legacy Foundation. Michael Reagan has not
endorsed a candidate for president.

Date: 1/10/2016 2:15:12 PM
City/State/Zip: Gary, Indiana 46401
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I can not get a straight answer of what I owe from Comcast billing. I stayed on the phone this week 1
hour with Comcast reps cutting me off or changing the amount I owed. I finally got a supervisor to
explain why my service was cut off. In our area, we know not to pay Comcast one month in advance,
which is illegal in my eyes to pay for service not yet offered. In this case, I was in the hospital in Nov.
and Dec. 2015, and Comcast not only cut off the month of Dec. (Dec. 9-present), but wanted to
charge me for that month, plus 1 month in advance and one month they said was in arrears (Nov.
2015). I did not pay them in advance for Nov. in October when I paid, so they "punished me" by
cutting off Dec. So I and this supv. agreed to me paying for November, canceling and crediting me
for December 2015, and I would pay for January. However, when I got sent to the auto bill pay, the
amount they quoted me was for @$640 and not the $491 I agreed to (I agreed to the extra month of
Feb. 2016 just to get the service back on. I was "promised" I would not be billed again until March
2016 by this same supr.) ). When I refused the $640, they cut me off the phone. Today, a man in a
car, a stranger, tried to get in my house to take the Comcast equipment. I refused to let him in. He
balked and told me to "pay your bill". This Comcast is only used in our area because they provide
more educational, local and C-spann and CNN services plus consumer shows than direct or at&t. We
also get our government access and community channels from the local community. Just about
everyone can't want until at&t (not Direct) can get into our area so we can quit Comcast for good!

Cox Communications is always playing a shell game with me. They raise their rates arbitrarily,
claiming the rate I had earlier was a "special offer" and has now expired. I have to get on the phone
and threaten to quit their service, which is not possible as it is the only service offered in our area. For
years I had to pay the higher rate anyway, until one employee lowered it to 66.57/month for the most
basic TV and high-speed internet. Then they raised it again in a year to $94.37 total (includ ing taxes
and fees) for the same service. It is actually poor service also; the TV sound and images are never
synced (never) and the internet service is spotty and unreliable.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
Recently I Received a text message indicating I have used 90% of my data limit per month, I was
surprised by it since I have been over a year with comcast and never received any notification
whatsoever of any data cap, I already pay $60 a month for interne t, and yes I'm a cable cutter
because I think it's insane pay much more money for a tv package that only have between 5 or 10
channels that are really worth watching, in these days of technology everything depends on internet,
from our daily lives, to our works and to our government, we all need internet, putting caps on home
data usage is disrespectful to everybody, almost 75% more or less have a Netflix or Hulu account,
which with 5 or 6 movies a month will eat the data limit cap in no time, youtube, ever yone who have
acess to internet uses youtube at one point of their lives even from news companies like cnn or msn
who a lot time shows streaming videos to inform us of what is happening in the world, all big
companies are shifting to internet based bussines models or including a division for it, the world move
arounds beacuse of internet, and it is incredibly stupid a big greedy company like COMCAST wants
to put and enforce a cap on data usage a cap that it's not reflecting the real internet usage of this
generation, a cap that's a move to make the business more profitable on the back of the working
people, a cap that the main priority is to stop consumers leaving the cable service and only suscribing
for internet, a cap that wants you to pay $90 for a unlim ited 25mbps speed which is a joke when you
look at Europe that get double the speed for almost half the price, greedy companies are stopping
innovation of technology just because they want more money in their greedy pockets no matter the
cost, I already called comcast to evaluate my options with them and receive a very well scripted
robotic answer from one of their representatives, in other words if you want to keep your internet
service like it used to be give us $30 more or subscribe to a higher plan so you won't be charged.
PLEASE FCC DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, I know I'm not the only person who filed a complaint
because of the same reason, hope to hear an answer from your agency very soon regarding this
matter thank you

Description
My name
. I live in Sacramento, California. I signed up for Comcast internet from January
2014. At first internet speed 25 Mbps but it was not true. Real speed was most of all time from 1 to 6
Mbps. I called Comcast to complain many times but Comcast did not take enough action to fix. After
12 months of contract over, Comcast said price $55 per month for the speed 50 Mbps but I got it most
average from 1 to 16 Mbps and some internet was no conn ection. At end of August 2015, the price
goes up again to $81.92 with same speed most of all time from 1 to 16 Mbps. I called Comcast make
complaint in order to verify bill increasing and complaint about internet was too slow, Supervisor Don
promised to fix the speed and called back but never happen. Again August 31, 2015 at 4 PM, I called
to complaint about billing increased and internet speed still slow, I was disconnected twice the same
day. The last CSR Johnathon never called back and no reason given or because I requested to talk
to managers to solve issue asking billing increased and internet speed not fixing. For over 2 years
with Comcast, I have bitter experience about Comcast treated and cheated customers for internet
business. Does anyone believe Comcast internet speed 25 or 50 Mbps can not watch CNN or BBC
videos clips online? Even check email yahoo or search on google, it sometime does not go any when.
I replaced new laptops and desktops but internet speed slow is still the same. For these reas ons, I
ask the FCC to conduct investigation on Comcast internet business because Comcast misleading
customers and did not honor its agreement with customers. Also, I would to like to ask the FCC to
force Comcast to reimburse me back fees that I paid to Comcast and I did not receive the internet
speed as Comcast promised to provide on its agreement plus compensation as possible. Please file

Al-Qaeda (/ælˈkaɪdə/ al-KY-də or /ˌælkɑːˈiːdə/ AL-kah-EE-də; Arabic: ‫ القاعدة‬al-qāʿidah,
Arabic: [ælqɑːʕɪdɐ], translation: "The Base", "The Foundation" or "The Fundament" and alternatively
spelled al-Qaida and sometimes al-Qa'ida) is a global militant Islamist organization founded by
Osama bin Laden, Abdullah Azzam,[19] and several others,[20] at some point be tween August
1988[21] and late 1989,[20] with origins traceable to the Arab volunteers who fought against the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in the 1980s.[22][23] It operates as a network comprising both a
multinational, stateless army[24] and an Islamist, extremist, wahhabi, jihadist group.[25] It has been
designated as a terrorist group by the United Nations Security Council, the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization (NATO), the European Union, the United States, Russia, India, and various other
countries (see below). Al-Qaeda has carried out many attacks on targets it considers kafir.[26] During
the Syrian civil war, al-Qaeda factions started fighting each other, as well as the Kurds and the Syrian
government. Al-Qaeda has mounted attacks on civilian and military targets in various countries,
including the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings, the September 11 attacks, and the 2002 Bali bombings.
The U.S. government responded to the September 11 attacks by launching the "War on Terror". With
the loss of key leaders, culminating in the death of Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda's operations have
devolved from actions that were controlled from the top down, to actions by franchise associated
groups and lone-wolf operators. List of wars and battles involving ISIL Characteristic te chniques
employed by al-Qaeda include suicide attacks and the simultaneous bombing of different targets.[27]
Activities ascribed to it may involve members of the movement who have made a pledge of loyalty to
Osama bin Laden, or the much more numerous "al-Qaeda-linked" individuals who have undergone
training in one of its camps in Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq or Sudan who have not.[28] Al -Qaeda
ideologues envision a complete break from all foreign influences in Muslim countries, and the creation
of a new worldwide Islamic caliphate.[5][29][30]Among the beliefs ascribed to al -Qaeda members is
the conviction that a Christian–Jewish alliance is conspiring to destroy Islam.[31] As Salafist jihadists,
they believe that the killing of non-combatants is religiously s anctioned, but they ignore any aspect of
religious scripture which might be interpreted as forbidding the murder of non -combatants and
internecine fighting.[1][32] Al-Qaeda also opposes what it regards as man-made laws, and wants to
replace them with a strict form of sharia law.[33]Al-Qaeda is also responsible for instigating sectarian
violence among Muslims.[34] Al-Qaeda leaders regard liberal Muslims, Shias, Sufis and other sects
as heretics and have attacked their mosques and gatherings.[35] Examples of sectarian attacks
include the Yazidi community bombings, the Sadr City bombings, the Ashoura massacre and the April
2007 Baghdad bombings.[36] Since the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011 the group has been led by
Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Organization
Al-Qaeda's management philosophy has been described as "centralization of decision and
decentralization of execution."[37] It is thought that al -Qaeda's leadership, following the War on
Terror, has "become geographically isolated," leading to the "emergence of decentralized leadership"
of regional groups using the al-Qaeda "brand".[38][39]Many terrorism experts do not believe that the
global jihadist movement is driven at every level by al -Qaeda's leadership. Although bin Laden still
held considerable ideological sway over some Muslim extremists before his death, experts argue that
al-Qaeda has fragmented over the years into a variety of regional movements that have little
connection with one another. Marc Sageman, a psychiatrist and former Cen tral Intelligence Agency
(CIA) officer, said that al-Qaeda is now just a "loose label for a movement that seems to target the
West." "There is no umbrella organisation. We like to create a mythical entity called [al -Qaeda] in our
minds, but that is not the reality we are dealing with."[40]This view mirrors the account given by
Osama bin La

Ticket: # 619465 - Lied to by Comcast
Date: 10/28/2015 7:50:06 PM
City/State/Zip: Duluth, Georgia 30097
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I have been lied to by MULTIPLE Comcast agents. I called Comcast on 10/16 to inform I am leaving
Comcast for Direct TV since Direct TV offered a $19.99 special. However, the Comcast agent
convinced me to s tay by stating that she will provide me with the channels that I require (Travel
Channel, FX, USA, TNT, ESPN, Discovery Channel, History Channel, HGTV, CNN, FOX, CNBC). I
was promised a rate of $64. After a day, I checked the TV and I was not receiving hal f 75% of the
channels I was promised. I called Comcast again on 10/17 and complained that I was lied to by
Comcast reps and felt cheated by this unprofessional company. Then the technician transferred me
to a "Customer care department" and someone from the US spoke to me and said she will add the
preferred package to my account for an extra charge of $5. After she added that, she told me that she
has had customers before who was not able to view the channels so she said she will transfer me to
technical support. After spending another 1.5 hours on the phone with tech support, my internet and
tv services completely stopped working. I spent another hour with Comcast sending more than 5 -6
reset signals to get the services to start but was unsuccessful. After a ll of this, Comcast told me I
have wait till 10/19 for a technician to come out and fix. After the technician came and fixed a burned
signal booster, I called Comcast back and informed them that I am still not receiving the Preferred
channels. After spending another 3-4 hours of my time diagnosing and playing trial and error, they
sent out a technician to my house on 10/26. When the technician came, he called his dispatch and
confirmed that who ever added the Preferred package for the additional $5 lied to me because
according to him and his dispatcher I would need to have a Digital Starter package in order to get the
preferred package channels. I have wasted over 8 hours on the phone with Comcast on this issue
and stayed home from work for 2 days to allow the technician in to attempt to fix the issue. This is the
most unprofessional company I have ever come across in my life. Comcast rips its customers off and
provide them with extremely poor customer service. Comcast will tell you that they are open 24/7 fo r
technical assistance, but if you call Comcast after 10 pm, you will be on hold until the following
morning to speak with someone. I thought I was the only one having this bad experience with
Comcast, until I spoke to all of the residents in the neighborh ood.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
The Graham Holdings Company dba as Cable One has changed the rate structure several times over
the last four years without properly notifying thier "Cu stomer's", the "Company" has also reconfigured
the channel programing, ie: adding and removing channels without "Customer's" approval and are
unwilling to give requested channels to its"Customer's". The Graham Holdings Company dba Cable
One has also made unavailable to its "Customer's" certain prime and premium channels such as
Turner channels, news channels such as CNN, MSN, MSNBC, other entertainment channels such as
Discovery Channel, A & E, HGTV, among several other channels that are considered premium even
though that is what the "Customer's" origionally signed up to get and have already been billed for.
The Graham Holdings Company dba as Cable One is prebilling its customers for Television, Phone,
and Internet services a month prior to service and when the changes to channel selection or services
are made the "Customer's" have already paid the amount that was agreed on thier origional contract
and if the "Customer's" are on auto pay the new rates come out without giving the "Customer's"
enough time to cancel services or question billing. When the "Customer's" of The Graham Holding
Company dba Cable One call to inquire the "Customer's" are given a host of excuses such as the
Media Companies raised the rates on the owner of the Cable One Franchise in North ern Arizona and
the "Company" has to pass on the cost incurred to the consumer, yet the "Customer's" lose that
paticular channel line up that supposed rate increase ocurred on. The "Customers" of The Graham
Holding Company dba Cable One are also being informed that the "Company has restructured the
billing and the new billing reflects a new account number billing double / or as the "Company" is
calling it partial billing for the month of July 2015 which has already been paid and billing for the
month of August 2015. The "Company" also refuses or makes very difficult to receive credit when
billed in error, ie: when a customer moves and combines services of Television, Phone and Internet
to the new address the services are not transfered correctly resulting i n a double billing from property
to property and the previous property retaining services for a period of time without the previuos
tenant being at the previous location/ thus the "Customer's" who have moved are in essence paying
for services at two locations. The Graham Holdings Company dba Cable One promises discounts to
set up your new account with auto pay and then the discounts expire with the "Company" stating that
"certian older rates plans are not compatible with the "Companys'" new system. The Gra ham Holding
Company dba Cable One does not explain what the "older rate plans" are not comaptible with,just
that the billing is increasing due to incompatablity.The Graham Holdings Company dba Cable One
has also stated that the amount billed and due may b e higher or lower than the previous bill as a
result of changes in how the 'Company's"new system calculates taxes and other fees,this is not true
the "Company" is rebilling, double billing, and partial billing the "Customer's" for services that have
already been paid.

Ticket: # 453619 - Calls from South Carolina EBT recipients forwarded to my personal
cell phone
Date: 8/6/2015 6:27:22 PM
City/State/Zip: West Grove, Pennsylvania 19390
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I selected a Phone Issues Categories that was close. I have no issues with AT&T.
Hello, this problem has been plaguing me for more than 13 years but has escalated since August. I
have been receiving calls on my cell phone from people from South Carolina who are trying to
activate their EBT cards or inquiring on their balance. My cell phone number is 610 -470-0019.
When this began happening I reported the phone numbers to social services offices so they could
reach out to the recipients and help them. For the most part these folks are elderly minorities. It
started escalating in 2007 and after contacting a number of state age ncies again I wrote a letter to the
governor in office at that time and included copies of my cell phone bills with the numbers highlighted.
I received a letter in return assuring me that this would be taken care of. It seemed to slow down to
maybe one call a year.
Then about April of 2015 I started receiving daily calls, sometimes up to 6 a day. It seems to be
getting worse. So I contacted some state agencies again and was put in contact with Rennette
Hawkins-Capers and emailed her a list of the numbers and dates. She doesn’t work in IT so I knew
she would not have any control over troubleshooting this issue. When I receive d the calls I would ask
the folks what number they were dialing and it was 800-554-5268 which was on the back of the card.
I am an IT consultant with a CPA firm in Wilmington, DE and I talked with several network engineers
about this and we all believe my number is somewhere in the system and the calls are randomly
rolling over to my phone.
So I called the Governor’s office and began a civil conversation. The assistant didn’t seem to be
interested in helping me. She told me to document this and I told the assistant that I did that already
and gave her Rennette’s name. By this time I was really angry and informed her that I would report
this situation to CNN where the Governor can again be put on the hot seat about treatment of
minorities. That got their attention. You have to understand I had just moved my elderly sick parents
in with me and I don’t have time for this nonsense. So they put me in touch with Ritu Godkhindi from
Xerox. I emailed her some telephone numbers with dates and times and after a n umber of days she
informed me that they couldn’t find a problem and suggested I take this up with AT&T, my cell phone
provider. So essentially this is my fault……..
I called AT&T and they suggested reaching out to the FCC and that the owner of the 800 numb er is
really responsible.
So can you folks help me and all these people who are trying to activate their cards so they can eat. I
am including the emails. I can make my phone records available if necessary.
Sincerely,

City/State/Zip: Sammamish, Washington 98075
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
Worked with a Comcast sales agent at local Walmart who offered me a Digital Economy package +
HS Internet for $64.99 including equipment as part of an existing promotion. A few days into using the
service, I received a bill of ~$80 for TV service alone, without the internet part, had some charges
that I do not recognize. Called the customer service and explained my situation, and turned out that
there was an issues with how the account got setup. That person then put me on a different package
that costs $59.99, and later I realized that all the channels I usually watch (ie: CNN) are no longer
available. Called Comcast and spoke with Sales dept, who said there I need to go and work with the
person who offered me the package at Walmart. So, I text that sales person, got a call back who said
will fix my account, ended up never heard back again even with multiple calls. Then I decided to talk
to someone from Comcast Customer Retention depart again and explained the whole situation to
him, he said he will put me in a different package of the same content but with $5 more. With all the
hours I have spent calling and explaining to various folks at Comcast with only hope to get out of this
mess I decided to go with it. So, I expected I would end up with $69.99 + tax with all the services I
expected to have. Not true! After I got home, turned on the TV, no signal on any of the HD channels.
Called back again, and talked with tech support who look up the notes and told me that I'm not on the
HD package, even though he did see the notes from my earlier conversation. Unfortunately, he said
he does not have access to any code to get me the package I was promised and getting HD channel
would cost me another $10 a month. He suggested me to call back next day morning and talk to the
Customer Retention depart again. At this point, I'm about to loss it! With hours and hours of calling,
texting and explaining trying to get this issue settled, it just seems ther e is no light in the tunnel. Now,
I feel stupid and naive about this whole thing, only hoping to take advantage of a promotion, I got
myself into such a mess, and no one at Comcast could even tell me when is the last day of my 30 day
money back guarantee is, and I was told that it starts today as I was put back to a different package,
but my account shows I already owe money to Comcast from the first few days of usage before they
switch me to a different package. I'm going crazy!

RE: Donald Trump's Lechery
Do we really want:
A Head of State who talks about his penis on TV, to the whole Planet?
A strip-clubber, vice lord and pornographer rising to world power?
A Commander-in-Chief who's a woman-degrading misogynist?
America's first Full-Frontal Naked First Lady? (who's NOT his first, and likely not his last).
America's First Daughter, example to our daughters, who publicly exposes herself too?
A National Example to our sons, fathers, brothers, husbands and boyfriends who reportedly said of
women, "You have to treat 'em like shit."
A pathological liar, cheater, adulterous and deeply immoral, unstable man with his finger on the
USA's nuclear arsenal?
A letch, a perv and a pig in the White House?
A "President Porno"?
We're assembling the lengthening indictment against Trump for his misogyny and lechery.
We are women from across the political, cultural, religious and socio-economic spectrum.
To learn the XXX-rated Truth about Trump, start here:

www.presidentporno.com, which links you to
Trump's female-hating remarks,
Trump's disgusting record of infidelity, flagrant lying, bad character and sleaze.
Trump's Taj Mahal porno palace with public nudity, fondling, sexuality, cunnilingus and sado masochism.
Trump's public talk about his penis, his sexual exploits, young girl s and menstrual bleeding.
Quotes from some of us:
"Chris Christie's endorsement of Donald Trump is an astonishing display of political opportunism.
Donald Trump is unfit to be President. He is a dishonest demagogue who plays to our worst fears.
Trump would take America on a dangerous journey. Christie knows all that and indicated as much
many times publicly. The Governor is mistaken if he believes he can now count on my support, and I
call on Christie's donors and supporters to reject the Governor and Do nald Trump outright. I believe
they will. For some of us, principle and country still matter."

Trump "is a one-man wrecking crew of all political comportment, and a carrier of that virus....his brain
appears to be a grab bag of impulses... he doesn't seem to know anything about public policy or the
way the White House or the government actually works."
Peggy Noonan,
The Wall Street Journal
Trump calls "women... 'fat pigs,' 'dogs,' 'slobs,' and 'disgusting animals.'... it was well beyond Rosie
O'Donnell... [his] Twitter account has several disparaging co mments about women's looks. [He] once
told a contestant on 'Celebrity Apprentice' it would be a pretty picture to see her on her knees....Does
that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president...?"

"If it's Trump's goal to make everyone but his most blind, loyal supporters loathe him, he's doing a
great job tonight. #NeverTrump....Make no mistake. Trump will treat you the way he treats Marco if
you don't, let's say, get on your knees."

"WINNER: #NeverTrump, Loser: Trump sycophants.
Jennifer Rubin
The Washington Post
"Trump seems to have a Napoleon Complex or 'Little Man Syndrome' concerning his penis. He said
in the Detroit debate to Megyn, her co-hosts and a global audience, 'I have to say this, I have to say
this. He [Marco Rubio] hit my hands. Nobody has ever hit my hands. I have never he ard of this. Look
at those hands. Are they small hands? And he referred to my hands, if they are small, something else
must be small. I guarantee you there is no problem. I guarantee.' Trump is lying. He has heard of
this, it's obviously an obsession of his. To talk about his penis on national TV, he must be
tremendously rattled by Rubio, by the Vanity Fair stuff, by the painting of him as a little guy, etc.
Trump's as fixated on his wiener as poor Huma's husband, Anthony Wiener."

for fear of personal retribution
"I am no Donald Trump fan. I did not vote for him in the Virginia primary....While many people call the
Donald a fraud, a con-man, there are a lot of voters out there who think they have been conned
election after election. They know what it is to be promised something and delivered nothing.... If we
want to defeat Donald Trump, we cannot turn to the establishment once again and ask them to guide
the citizenry to the right answer. If we want to defeat Donald Trump, we must defeat him at the ballot
box."

my father’s service. Just on a personal level, it’s hard for me to differentiate personal and politics in a

infamous North Vietnamese prison known as the "Hanoi Hilton." Trump: “He was a war hero because
he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” Trump later clarified that he believed McCain to

Description
I originally had just the Internet through our local monopoly ISP (Comcast) so I could maintain my
business which I rely greatly on the Internet to sustain. Once the due date of my first child drew near
I decided to inquire about getting some cable that included something other than the fr ee channels no
one watches. I was blown away when I was told that I would have to pay over $120 to get channels
that either had cartoons or the latest news from CNN. Comcast was telling me that this was a triple
play and that's my best option. I hesitated and decided that a price that high was beyond ridiculous so
I told the gentleman on the phone "no thank you, but that's too much." Upon trying to get off the
phone the car salesman- I mean customer service rep, in broken English, asked me if how much I
was willing to spend. I told him "no more than 80 dollars. I was told that he could get me triple play
for 89.99 not including taxes and fees. Being somewhat excited that I was getting a "great deal" I
agreed, and due to my bill Being sent to my work address(?) I was unaware that my bill was around
$130 dollars, the original price that I declined. I contacted Comcast and in an attempt to correct the
issue and get my bill down to $89.99 (what my budget allowed). I was sent to customer retention due
to it being past the 30 days that are in the terms and conditions. These terms and condition no longer
apply to me due to my bill being more than the amount that was agreed upon to make the terms
legitimate and binding. The gentleman I spoke to was helpful and helped me get the perfect package
(double play) with all the channels I was originally wanted for the price I originally was told, I was told
that the $239 dollar early termination fee would not be an issue and I got off of the phone thinking I
had taken care of everything. A month rolls around and I receive a bill after getting home with our
newborn son and finally having time to get to paying bills and looking through the mail. To my
surprise my bill was over $500 and all because of EARLY TERMINATION FEES!!! I was told that
these wouldn't be an issue since I was lied to and roped in to getting a package that had features, like
a phone, that I don't need! So, I called Comcast on 2/15/2016 at 11:23am and spoke with Edson.
Edson didn't seem too interested in my issue but due to me continuing to demand that these charges
be removed placed me on a "brief" hold. Once Edson returned he explained that he spoke to a
supervisor and would have to send the request to refund my money to someone else and that my
account would be credited the Early Termination fee within 2 days. Again, thinking it was taken care
of I hung up the phone with my sanity still in tact. Now to February 27, 2016 and my account Iliad not
been changed or even reflecting that someone has atte mpted to take care of it so I call Comcast back
and immediately request, not demand, to speak to a supervisor. Christopher said he understands
and said he would get someone on a phone to help me with my issue. After a brief hold a gentleman
by the name of Jacque, from the Jacksonville retention department answered the hold. To my
surprise Christopher was no longer there and suddenly I'm explaining all of this to Jacque. Jacque
cared, or I do believe, that I was frustrated and place me on yet another "bri ef" hold. Upon returning
to the call he advised me that he would have to...... Guess....... Pass it along and have someone
listen to my original call to investigate whether or not I was, in fact, lied to! Now im still without a
resolution and being treated as though I'm a liar and all for wanting what I was originally told. I tried
to upgrade my service and from doing that I've managed to receive 2 late fees (due to me refusing to
pay until the $239 is refunded), wasted more than 1.45 hrs of my life on the phone and Still I'm having
to write a complaint to the FCC because I'm just another Comcast customer that is getting bullied and
pushed off. This is unfair practices and Comcast would rather lose a customer they know they won't
lose, because they are the only ones to offer cable here and Internet that is worth anything, over a
$239 termination fee. I hope something gets this complaint and has a good state of mind and helps
me out. They are taking advantage of a family that works hard, carries a badge and a gun everyday
for work to protect their community all while running a business of their own to make sure their
newborn son has everything they'll ever need in a world that gets handouts for nothing. I'm just asking
for someone to do something about this. It may be petty to Comcast but for the working man and their
family, sitting down and watching tv and laughing with their family after a long day shouldn't cost over
$500.

Subject: RE: Verizon Wireless Illegally Changed Contracts and no action on their behalf to resolve
December 1, 2015
Dear Ms./Ms.,
First I’d like to state that my communication by typing is the best and more clearer over the telephone
or in person. Extremely nervous due to the experience and the amount of anxiety this issue has
brought to. In advance I’d like to apologize for my grammar and punctuation. As you may already
have noticed that I’m going extremely out of my way to reach out to as many people that could
possibly assist me just to resolve this matter that could make a big difference to someone as small as
me and the community that advice of consumer rights.
As to inform you that Verizon Communications Inc. (VCI) has not made any physical or verbal help to
correct an issue that a Rep have done in their behalf. The issue is that I have an old contract of
‘Unlimited Data” (UD) Grandfathered In” (GI) and called due to resolve an issue of a popup every time
I tried to turn on of a free feature “Personal Hotspot” last weekend on our Family trip . I as was being
assisted the Rep was clearing the issue on her end on the system as I quietly await. As you provided
my instructions to perform when I complete my call. Rep mention that my data is over my limit and
replied that I’m GI and that my contract is old and I have UD, Rep replied “Oh Ok.” SO the call was
complete.
Called back again because when I completed the call I received a message that my data plan was
over. I was shocked. Called VCI again and the 2nd REP made a Referral Ticket : # 1940038 a nd
identified that the previous REP made a mistake and the only recourse to correct the matter is
Corporate Office (NEW YORK or NEW JERSEY) that the *611 Reps have no Authorization to correct
on their system either. That she will contact me on Friday 11/25 /2015 after the holiday at 2pm. So I
called a third time to see if the matter was documented in the system and also notice the third Rep
provided me slight different reading of the transcript was not able to help me.
Friday 11/25/2015 3pm to contact so called numerous times and to help. They all reported they do
not know any corporate office location, numbers, and or existence of a corporate office. They could
not even transfer me to a Supervisor. Also repeatedly requested transcripts of case of made (call s &
communications REP). They would only supply me with Text format which I refused. That I’d like a via
mail or email would be legal documentation of the issue. Rep stated that they are not allowed and
that only Corporate has to approve to provide me any correspondents of this matter.
Monday 11/30/2015 called again and Rep indicated that they are not aware of any Referral Number
(case)# 1940038 existence. Requested numerous times to transfer me to a supervisor or the
corporate office and no luck. Disconnected the call. Soon VCI Technician call stating if I had just
called about needing Technical Help. I replied no and please transfer me to Corporate who is the
entity that has authorization to clear up this matter.
As to date with extreme patience and reaching out for HELP to at least be heard of the Illegal
unethical action VCI has taken and not one ounce of humanly action to correct a simple matter that
will not make a dent in their financial wealth. All I’m asking is for help to correct my contract, accept
the mistake they have done, and have not done by means of contact. No calls, emails, and other
format of contact.
Also in the process of alternative action, if no help is provided by any one of you that I’m reachin g to
in this email, would be Legal Aid Help. Honestly, I’m not rich or wealthy but will try my best to fight an
illegal Consumer Action done by any Entity. May you all be bless with taking the time to read this
email.
This is not scam or other form but a real event. Feel free to call me (b) (6)
to go on any media to explain everything, if needed.
Have a nice day and week. Happy Holidays!
Sincerely,
(b) (6)
and I’ll be willing

Description
Over the last two months, i have received perhaps the worst customer service experience of my life
with comcast. i am being charged even though the issue is not resolved. they are ignoring my calls
and emails. . i have escalated and done all i know to do. There are bigger p roblems in the world, but I
feel like I have been mistreated and am being charged for a service that is not working properly. I
think they should be held accountable for mistreating customers. Here are my accounts of what has
transpired.
9/9:
Ordered NFL redzone on phone with customer service. Didn’t work. They will send out tech. also
reported espn not working. All other cable channels worked.
9/19
Tech comes to my house. Swapped out cable cards on my Tivo. Didn’t work. Tried two ca ble cards.
At my home for two hours. Said he would report to supervisor.

that didn’t resolve issue (2 x $25).
Week of 9/ 28:
Get call from Comcast asking me if I recently added any channels. I said yes. She said ok, thanks.
She just checking and was about to hang up. I brought up that it didn’t work and that I thought she

Week of 9/28:
Talked to someone named Rolly. Comcast still investigating issue.
Week of 10/5:
Rolly said he is no longer on the case. Said his boss Miquel is. Talked to Miquel.

Miquel said he would send a tech with xfinity box to work while tivo issue being resolved. And provide
credits my bill.
10/10:
Tech came with Xfinity cable box. Xfinity box works but not Tivo.

would be calling me. I was rather appalled. They called the next day and offered to lower my price
Comcast called us to offer us more for only three dollars more then what we were curre ntly paying!
Wow... really.
I was offered a new package that included HBO for only three dollars more. After looking at my bill I
and included the news channels I was interested in. There was some conc ern that not all of these
services did not include those channels. I pointed out that the conversation was said to be recorded,
make that happen. After several rounds that ended up at the same place, I thanked the person and
with their tracking system and what services I had. In any event they could not offer me what I was
sold so I asked that they simple restore my internet services back to what it was. Appare ntly they
restore my services as they were prior to all this nonsense. He kept telling me that he would have to
$50 some, another $40 some, and a third $30 some. I ask him what I had previously and was tol d
speed internet service that I’ve not been provided. In retrosp ect I remember a pause in the
sales practices, 4) and Comcast has a seemingly locked Seattle market that offers consumers little
not an option.

Description
Afternoon Greetings, Lindsay Hamner and FCC
Inasmuch as Comcast probably receives hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints regarding
unsatisfactory, egregious or dangerous operations of your cable facilities each and every week, I’m
not surprised you may have overlooked my several attempts to talk with you by telephone at the
number supplied to m e, viz.: 888 966-7794 Ext 3020837. However, I submit my attempts can be
found on the recordings of my calls that were announced as being made. Two such calls were made
yesterday, 5 August 2015, one in the late morning and one in the late afternoon.
Let’s get to the two pending complaints: Ticket No. 312947 made after conferring with the Houston
area National Weather Service (NWS) Office in League City, Texas, during the severe and dangerous
flooding in the Houston, Texas area, 29 May 2015, when the N ational Weather Service Office
relayed various alerts and warnings to Comcast to be promulgated to the public. I was watching
Cable News Network (CNN) when Comcast, with apparent total disregard to the importance and the
urgency of the message, delayed broadcasting the message until after the expiration time assigned
by the NWS, to my surprise and dismay. According to a communication to me from FCC, I was to
receive a response from Comcast by Postal Mail. I have received no such response.
My second complaint to FCC, assigned Ticket No. 403704 related to the “New Horizons” space probe
as it arrived in the vicinity of the planet Pluto, certainly a MULTI-MILLION milestone in the United
States Space Program and certainly of great interest to the public in this area of the Johnson Space
Center. The broadcast over the NASA channel via Comcast was of exceedingly poor quality (‘tiling’
and grainy) and many interruptions for “reloading”. This seemed to be a problem of limited
“bandwidth”, although I don’t pretend to know the exact technical cause. I would leave that to
Comcast. The appearance to me was simply “No one was minding the store” – the whole operation
was that Comcast’s broadcast on the NASA channel as on many other Comcast’s channels, the
switch is on to “Autopilot”!
I would hope that both Comcast and the FCC might agree with me that occurrences such as:
TORNADOS, FLASH FLOODS, EXPLOSIONS,TOXIC RELEASES, TRAIN DERAILMENTS, LPG &
LNG RELEASES, PIPELINE RUPTURES, AVALANCHES & MUD SLIDES, EARTHQUAKES &
TSUNAMIS, WILD FIRES , HURRICANES AND AMBER ALERTS might well warrant immediate and
responsible communication to those whom are likely to be affected thereby. Should either of you
disagree, I certainly would like to know your reasons for disagreement.

Description
On Wednesday, August 12, 2015, a poll was released in the state of NH indicating that Bernie
Sanders was now leading by 7 points over Hillary Clinton for the Democratic party nomination for the
Presidency of the US. WMUR is the new station that does regular, daily political updates of election
news for first in the nation NH, on it's 6pm news. Not one word was men tioned. This has been a
pattern of ignoring this candidate, and I know believe it is a deliberate attempt to slant the news....in
fact, it actually applies to all broadcast news that I am aware of.....and on ABC world news that same
evening it WAS reported, and then attributed to Ms. Clinton's fall. I believe that is also when VP
Biden was mentioned. He, if you are not aware, is NOT currently a candidate for the nomination.

Description
Dear Sir,
I was reading the latest disturbing article(s) "Comcast To Credit Customers For Major Outage (If You
Ask)" with great interest. Please review and implement an action plan to thoroughly address this
extremely troubling issue. Media reports continue to underscore the ongoing widespread poor
operational, logistical and technical telecommunications delivery and customer servic e activities by
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC throughout the City of Pompano Beach, Broward County, the
State of Florida and/or the Nation. In addition, Comcast Cable Communications, LLC continues to
provide abysmal customer service regarding local, regional and/or national outages and refunds
pertaining to such local, regional and/or national outages. Refunds should be automatic and NOT up
to the Comcast customer needing to contact Comcast Cable Communications, LLC to request such a
refund as Comcas t is supposed to continually monitor and ensure that their own telecommunication
system is either running or NOT. When Comcast Cable Communications, LLC called me (17
February 2016) regarding my complaint about this particular local, regional and/or natio nal outage,
the Comcast Cable Communications, LLC representative (Mrs. Crystal H., Executive Customer
Relations (9545347231)) did not even mention there was a possibility of a refund, which in other
service sectors in the United States of America, said cus tomer service representatives would have
made an good faith effort to refund for services NOT rendered. Since that conversation with Mrs.
Crystal H. (Executive Customer Relations) and possibly attributable to that particular local, regional
and/or national outage, the quality of cable TV and telecommunication service has gotten even
WORSE, with extremely blurry pictures, broken audio transmission, intermittent Internet service and
spotty telephonic connections. I am extremely disappointed that the cable i ndustry, in general, and
Comcast Cable Communications, LLC, in particular, can continue to provide such subpar
telecommunication services, which further underscores the overall rapid decline of the state of the
United States of America telecommunication sector as evidenced in the latest AKAMAI’S STATE OF
THE INTERNET: Q3 2015 REPORT(https://www.stateoftheinternet.com/resources-connectivity-2015q3-state-of-the-internet-report.html). Please coordinate, collaborate and cooperate on Federal, State
and/or local jurisdictional levels in addressing these concerns potentially impacting adversely the
public's safety, telecommunications, finances, policies, trust, confidence, and quality of life issues.
Thank you for your time in this matter and hope to hear from you soon.
--Comcast To Credit Customers For Major Outage (If You Ask)
by Karl Bode Wednesday Feb 17 2016 14:30 EST
Comcast suffered from a mammoth nationwide outage Monday that impacted both TV and broadband
services, while also bringing the company's phone and website support systems to their knees. For its
part, Comcast is apologizing to its customers, and in a blog post states that the company will be
doling out refunds to those impacted by the company's President's Day implosion. You'll need to
contact Comcast and ask for the refund, either because Comcast doesn't know exactly who was
impacted, or it knows having customers ask for refunds will be less expensive than automated ones.
"Unfortunately, we did not live up to expectations around 100% reliab ility with your TV service," states
Comcast Senior VP of Network Engineering Kevin McElearney." We’re sorry for that, and we will be
crediting customers. Just reach out to us, and let us know you were impacted, and we’ll credit you, no
questions asked."
Comcast still isn't specifically saying what caused the outage outside of a "configuration error in a
network device." Nor is the company explaining why redundancy didn't prevent the problem from
occurring, especially in regards to the company's support web sites.
"Our national video infrastructure is fully redundant, and our back-up systems normally operate
successfully when unexpected issues happen," states McElearney. "This specific issue caused
national cable channels to reroute, which resulted in a service interruption."
While Comcast isn't saying how much the credit is, one user in our forums says customers will get $2,
while another customer says they saw a credit of $9.50. Yet another user wrote me to state Comcast
support had no idea what he was talking about.
"I called Comcast for a credit after you posted the article," writes in DSLReports.com reader Zoder .
"The rep had no idea what I was talking about. Definately wasn't a "no questions asked" experience."
Let us know your experience and the credit amount in the comment section below.
--Comcast crediting angry customers after outage, but won't say for how much
February 17, 2016 | By Daniel Frankel
Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) said it will give credits to customers affected by Monday's service
outage, which hit across its national footprint.
"Unfortunately, we did not live up to expectations around 1 00 percent reliability with your TV service,"
said Kevin McElearney, senior VP of network engineering for Comcast, delivering a mia culpa on the
MSO's blog. "We're sorry for that, and we will be crediting customers. Just reach out to us, and let us
know you were impacted, and we'll credit you, no questions asked."
While McElearney made it clear that it's up to Comcast customers to ask for the credit, a company
rep would not respond to FierceCable's inquiry as to how much specifically would be reimbursed to
affected subscribers.
Comcast said the service blackout started at 10:20 a.m. EST Monday and lasted 90 minutes.
"While most of our customers were still able to use the Internet, their phone service, on -demand and
most broadcast and local channels, many were temporarily unable to watch some other cable
networks." McElearney said.
The engineer also gave a little technical background on the outage.
"Here's what happened. As soon as we realized people were having issues our technical teams
immediately began troubleshooting and found this was the result of a configuration error in a network
device that supports our live video network," he said. "Our national video infrastructure is fully
redundant, and our back-up systems normally operate successfully when unexpected issues happen.
This specific issue caused national cable channels to reroute, which resulted in a service
interruption."
--Comcast offers credit for Monday's service outage
Customers must call for credit
By Hope King Posted: 3:07 PM, February 17, 2016
Comcast offered a mea culpa for this week's service outage, along with a credit to impacted
customers.
In an apology posted on the company's website Tuesday, network engineering exec Kevin
McElearney said the issues began around 10:20 a.m. EST on Monday. On Demand video, as well as
broadcast, local and cable TV channels were inaccessible for about 90 minutes for customers in
regions across the country.
"We did not live up to expectations around 100% reliability with your TV service," McElearn ey said.
"We're sorry for that, and we will be crediting customers."
A spokeswoman told CNNMoney that "even though the issue lasted about 90 minutes," customers
will receive a credit for a day's worth of video service, which she guessed would be around $2 .
She added that credits will vary depending on how customers were impacted. For example, some
people complained that their home phone lines were beeping, while others said they had trouble
accessing the Internet.
In order to get a credit, customers must call Comcast. The company can't apply an automated,
blanket credit "because the impact was varied."
"We'll work with customers on a case by case basis," the spokeswoman said. Comcast will explore
other ways that people can submit credit reques ts in the future.

Comcast

City/State/Zip: Federal Way, Washington 98003-5306
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
Telecommunications Act of 1996
From the FCC website, "The Telecommunications Act of 1996 is the first major overhaul of
telecommunications law in almost 62 years. The goal of this new law is to let anyone enter any
communications business -- to let any communications business compete in any market against any
other."
I am a communications business and I want to compete in the HD Congressional Commentary
marketplace. This "Commentary" marketplace would be commonly recognized as "NEWS AND
OPINION". This is a marketplace in which the NBC companies operate. Comcast is using it's
monopoly position as my cable provider to prevent me from having access to C-SPAN2 HD and CSPAN3 HD. Therefore, I am unable to compete in the HD Congressional Commentary marketplace.
This is bad for DEMOCRACY and it is bad for the INDEPENDENT JOURNALISTS in Comcast's
service area. This reduces diversity of opinion in the Congressional Commentary marketplace and
leads to the American citizens getting their news only from official sources, such as the major
broadcast networks, cable networks and movie companies such as the NBC comp anies.
It is in the PUBLIC INTEREST to INCREASE diversity of opinion, and INCREASE access to PUBLIC
DOMAIN Congressional video.
I want access to this video. I want to create a website where I access nonlinear video archives of
1920x1080 HD Congressional video. Presently, I am in the research stage of exploring this project.
Either I get access to all C-SPAN channels in HD or I am going to fight for direct access to all
Congressional video.
I believe the U.S. Citizens should have access to all the 1920 x 1080 HD video feeds from Congress.
I am a Comcast customer. Comcast does not carry C-SPAN2 and C-SPAN3 in HD. I believe that
YouTube would be happy to provide nonlinear access to all Congressional feeds at no charge to the
government. Forget C-SPAN, how about YouTube SPAN
I believe it would be in the PUBLIC INTEREST for Comcast to add these channels to their line -up.
They have told me that as a FOR-PROFIT company, it is not in their business interests to provide
these channels in HD, because they base their decisions on SUPPLY and DEMAND, and the
DEMAND for these channels is not there.
Comcast, as owner of NBC, is in the business of HD Congressional Commentary. By not providing
the Senate and House proceedings in HD, Comcast is keeping its 25 mill ion customers from
competing in that marketplace.
How am I supposed to compete in that market?
So far Comcast and the FCC have been kind enough to respond to my e-mails. As a person who has
a mental illness, I am used to my communication remaining unanswered.
I suppose I am a champion for the rights of people with mental illnesses to be heard and taken
seriously.
Here is a copy of an e-mail I sent to the FCC:
Subject: Comcast refuses to carry C-SPAN2 and C-SPAN3 HD because they are not PROFITABLE.
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 22:44:43 -0700
From: Ken M.
To: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected],
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
I have complained to you about Comcast not providing C -SPAN2 and C-SPAN3 in HD. You
forwarded the complaint to Comcast and they contacted me by phone. They contend that as a FOR PROFIT company, it is not in the their business interests in terms of profitability to supply their 25
million customers with C-SPAN2 and C-SPAN3 in HD.
I stated that these are NONPROFIT channels that are in the PUBLIC INTEREST and of course they
are not profitable to carry. But I argued that it is their DUTY as Americans to provide these channels
to the U.S. CITIZENS in its service area. I stated that it is in the PUBLIC INTEREST.
He said, "Sorry, we are a FOR-PROFIT corporation and the demand isn't there."
I would like to escalate this complaint to the next level, given that it wasn't resolved by Comcast.
I believe it is in our national security interests for the citizens to have access to their congressional
proceedings in HD.

since 1995 and we can find foreign love in places like the U kraine and Asia. There is also a Solar
Power commercial for a company that has been claiming on local channels that we can use them and
no longer will need a the electric company. Are these local commercials inserted at the Cox
headend? There was also a Rachel Maddow commercial showing monuments in Washington D. C.
Later in the news cast, there was a confusing news ticker about President Obama's plan to let in
10000 Syrian Refugees and also about a White House veto. I heard MSNBC say that they are not in
support of discrimination based on Muslim beliefs. Then I heard Ted Cruz speak out against it. Then
they were talking about the Russians and some gray haired guy with glasses, said loudly "We fought
Stalin." I turned it off. I tried to upload the video that shows some of this, but it disappeared. The time

Description
Isn't it enough that Sunday morning shows filled with examples of how Cable tV turned over their
airwaves free to Donald Trump? Today, on a historic day with our President in Cuba, I have been
waiting an hour & a half for any mention, while Donald Trump was given our airwaves freely, without
interruption, for nearly an hour--then, when Thomas Roberts show started, who I think is an excellent
journalist , he too turned his first half hour to Trump. Is this because NBC has a deal with Trump?
This is unprecedented. I have never seen anything like it, they turn show after show over to Trump,
uncontesting his lies and vicious, hate filled views. You don't have a TV Issues button for
DISGUSTING HATE FILLED SPEECH, but thats what Donald Trump is full of. This channel goes
overboard in giving him a fair amount of time during Campaign --I want to know why?

TV and strangle her" (Carly). Hillary was shocked and looked scared. MSNBC distorted Hillary's face
and made her look like a leprechaun. About a month or so ago, MSNBC had been reporting that
Hillary Clinton had her own email server at home where she received and sent State Department
emails. I did a Internet Search and found a web page that Snowden said said that Hillary used Platt

During Iowa Caucus I was keeping up with the election results on my loca l new channel at about
8:15pm when I decided to switch over to MSNBC for a split second. Within the first 10 seconds that I
had the TV changed over to MSNBC I hear a disturbing remark from a lady stating something about a
VA hospital having "f***ed something up." I'm a 38 year old man and have obviously heard this
language before but my 8 year old son was watching along with me and has NEVER heard such
language in his life. It bothered me seriously and I didn't say anything but today,my son repeated
what he heard on that show and I'm beside myself. He doesn't know what he's said but he know it
was not a good word because of my disappointing response to it when it happened. I'm genuinely
shocked how this happened. I work so hard to protect my kids from bad th ings in this world. The one
place I would expect to safely be able to watch TV with my son is on NBC news channel. I'm so mad
and in shock that I don't even know how to handle. I request that you assist with bringing this to the
network's attention and provide a delay for future broadcast so other young children don't have to be
cursed at during an event I assumed was safe to watch without such language. Are they allowed to
use this language on NBC?

MSNBC keeps failing to investigate Congress' crime against the United States of America, when
Congress allowed The Catholic Pope to violate "the separation of church and state." When MSNBC
was reporting on the Pope and showed video of him standing AND TALKING INTO A MICROPHONE
where The President of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA DELIVERS THE STATE OF UNION
ADDRESS. Chris Matthews was so happy that he openly said out loud that he is Catholic. He was
beeming. Yet he still won't talk about "the separation of church violation." Rac hel Maddow is Catholic,
she said so, as I remember it. Rachel Maddow couldn't hide her happiness MSNBC reported that
The Pope was inside an American Airlines jet, 757? The Flag that represents The United States of
America was flying out the left window of the plane and the flag that represents the Vatican was flying
out the right window of the American Airlines jumbo jet. It was in a New York City airport? Was it at
JFK at least? I hope that it was, but MSNBC did not talk about John F. Kennedy . I don't know what
airport The Catholic Pope landed at in New York, New York . The Pope then did had Mass at
Madison Square Garden. This was all over Fox News too. I wanted some news. How can I as a
voter in Arizona going to be able on First Tuesday November 20 16 going to make an informed
decision if I can't get truth and only the truth from my news choices? I don't know when Pope Francis
came to the United States of America and in my opinion tried to conquer US.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
With the Republican primaries in process and the recent violence surrounding the proposed Trump
rally at the University of Illinois at Chicago last night, the lies coming from CNN, MSNBC, and their
guests, as well as some guests on FOX, have made one thing very clear. It is the media who are
inciting people to start trouble at rallies, not Trump. Last night, I could not believe the outright lies
being spewed by these networks. For example, more than once I heard them say that Trump is a
racist, against all Muslims, Mexicans, Blacks, favors the KKK, and other lies, so naturally Trump is at
fault. Whether one is a Republican or Democrat, this type of behavior by major broadcasting stations
should not be permitted. How is it that they get away with this? Who is watching over the propaganda
that these networks have been practicing all along, particularly in recent weeks? Personally, I am
insulted, embarrassed that these are American TV stations, and bewildered that it is allowed to
continue. Pretty soon someone will get hurt and whose fault will it be? The people starting the riots
are not home listening to the speeches, they get their information from TV.
Why can't you shut this down? The longer this continues with no repercussions, no sanctions and no
one being fired, is adding to the creation of new accepted standards, standards that embrace
dishonesty and violence. These people that are violating the public trust belong in the gutter. Please,
use your power to return at least bare bones honesty to these very popular networks.

Description
After I reported the Loveme.com advertisement on MSNBC. I went to YouTube and listened to a
Moonland song. There was an Google click through advertisement from NBC on it. I purchased
Moonland Featuring Lenna Kuurmaa from Amazon, but when I listen to those songs on my local
computer Lenna's voice is overlaid with evil things. On Moonland's song "When Love is Gone"
Lenna's lyric goes "You talk about Forever" When I listen to it on my computer, my computer ma kes
her sing "Suck your Cock." The MP3s on my computer are slower in Tempo than what they were
recorded at. If you got to Amazon and download the songs you might not experience this. Even if I
upload the MP3, you might not experience any of this. I don't understand how this works. If I move
my computer to an different Internet Service Provider say in the state of Kansas the problem might go
away. It might not. I listen to Moonland's songs on YouTube, because I hear less interference and
their songs are closer to the original versions. I also watch Lenna Kuurmaa's channel on YouTube
because I can't access those videos in any other way. That zapkolik.com website I reported. Is it
really changing words in songs like Google's YouTube does? Or did I exper ience that phenomenon
because I am using Mormon cable? Of course all the cable companies work together, so other people
even those on Time Warner or Comcast, who owns NBC could experience this.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
(PROCESSED BY CTR 364)
[The captioning for CNBC's 3rd Republican Presidential Debate on October 28. 2015] was absolutely
shameful! MSNBC captions stink. They have been inadequate for years and years and as you know
I've brought this to the attention of the FCC formally and in writing. Apparently CNBC has the same
philosophy/practice vis -à-vis captioning. Hire the cheapest captioning firm they can find and then let
the chips fall where they may.
There were long, long periods last night where there were not captions whatsoever. From the get go
it was clear that the captioner(s) were not up to the task. When the candidates were introduced, the
captions were three or more people behind the screen shot. Just terrible.
Deaf people did not have access to the debate. Deaf p eople do not have access to MSNBC and
CNBC programming routinely.

connect via Network. There is one commercial on MSNBC that blares so loudly, every time it comes
on we jump for the remote to lower the volume. The commercial i s for Sandals Resorts, and the
background song, ironically, is "Don't worry 'bout a thing, cause every little thing is gonna be alright."
Thank you for anything you can do.

hey, this is (b) (6)
again. this is the 4th time ive contacted you. last time i contacted you, the
internet got a lot better, twitter completely changed. im really thankful for that, it really helped. the
problem though is really big, with every genre of music, movies, TV, & internet, the situation is still
very huge. someone needs action, & America is counting on us. every channel on the TV still has me
as the main topic of conversation. they keep hinting that they're going to war with me, as if i did
anything to them. they have literally the worst intentions, this is not good. what they do is repetitive,
and annoying. they do things to make the general public mad, & then they blame me for it, & that's
the whole truth. there's no safety for me in the TV world. with twitter getting off my back, makes it
easier, but the TV issue is still a huge problem. movies are a big problem also, but you have nothing
to do with that. the TV has to be fixed along with the internet. it's very simple #1 get them to st op
talking to me on television #2 get them to stop hiring look a likes to play me in their shows, &
commercials. # 3 generally just get them to just leave me alone. very simple, get them to stop doing
those things, there is no problem in America. movies are going to do what they do, they already have
it planned, but there has to be a change with the television, with those 3 things i mentioned before.
there's literally so many things constantly going on around me, it has me worried non stop. i wish i
can just be left alone, so i can go to school, & carry on with my life. im not a machine. if the TV
preached safety, it would be a different story, but they don't, & they aren't capable of it. make no
mistake about it, this is a huge problem, & i think you have the power to help. this is on every
channel. so, just remember those 3 things i need the TV channels to stop doing, & this problem will
be over. just please write all the TV stations a letter stating those 3 things that i need to stop, & that
will help me so much, thanks, & have a nice day.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
Greetings;
With no FCC oversight private cable news networks are free to broadcast propaganda, promote the
rewrite of political wrongs and history, promote ideas anti thetical to national dialogue, and are not
held accountable.
The advent of private cable news networks promotion of political objectives aimed to undermine the
population occurs in the early 2000’s when Keith Olberman, Bill Moyers, Phil Donahue, and other s
were fired for their anti-war stance against the Bush/ Cheney combination to illegally take this nation
to war, with subverting the national dialogue.
The network of MSNBC was noted for its harsh criticism of the Bush Administration. Brought to the
attention of the viewing public, reports indicating the Bush White House was engaged in lies, and
innuendo pertaining to the Downing Street Memo, false and misleading statements to the press,
omissions and distortions were stopped. Over the course of months, MSNBC fired and removed the
so called “liberal bias” but continued with the promotion of illegal war ad nauseum.
On September 2, 2015 PR agents at MSNBC Morning Joe program with Joe Scarborough, Dick
Cheney and his daughter broadcast to the public the pro paganda and hypotheticals to undermine the
current US Administration, its international agreements with Germany, France, Great Britain, and
other nations pertaining to Iran and its nuclear programs.
Dick Cheney, George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, Condolizza Rice, George Tenet, Alberto Gonzales,
Paul Wolfowitz, Bush Office of Legal Council, and others of the Bush Administration not named here
are fugitives from justice and have been so, absent a credible US Attorney’s General in America.
The news group NBC Universal owned by Comcast, and other private news networks must be
regulated under the umbrella of the Federal Communications Commission.
Until then, propaganda broadcasts to undermine American society will prevail as has the myth and
narrative of the last 15 years.

_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
I have discovered that DishTV is substituting (blocking) ads on numerous cable channels with specific
inserted ads mostly from (MSNBC) on a regular basis.
The DishTV has blocked many commercials from outlets like Fox News, HGTV, Discovery channel,
and this was discovered recently due to a flaw in the DishTV receiver which reveals the true content
verses the inserted content. Usually the substitute ad was for MSNBC or an ad specific to the
Democratic party, but I have noticed certain local ads to Maine have been seen as well.
This is a flagrant offense of not only commercial contract laws, but also a bias presentation of TV
material which is a defiant slap in the face of FCC rules as well as contract law by the cable provider
DishTV.

asking for donations, to the Republican party, in order to fight Donald Trump to make certain that he
is NOT elected. The consumer viewed this program on MSNBC and stated that he believes that all
of the networks were threatened by senior members of the Republican Party to NOT air the
information. The consumer insisted on filing this complaint because NONE of his local broadcasters
aired this same information and they profess to have no knowledge of it and the information is all over
the internet. He stated that his local/national broadcasters are not serving the general public with
regard to the trust that has been placed when obtaining a public broadcast license.

Description
While trying to watch a TV program on MSNBC this evening, a message kept popping up, stating "An
EAS participant has requested a weekly test..." An audible alarm sounded, then our news program
switched to a classical music program. The video was of poor quality. We were unable to change
channels. This happened at least three times during a 1 -hour program. I called Charter, our cable
provider, and they had never heard of this, and said it was a "network problem." This has happened
several times during this past week. This does not look like a legitimate test, but more like a pop -up
or a hacking problem. Have you heard of this before?

Every night when my 8 year old watches Nickelodeon, which is in my opinion, a safe TV station for
children's viewing, a morbidly sad and inappropriate commercial about dying of Alzheimer's disease
is aired. I am all for awareness, but seriously, on a kids station? The commercial interviews families
and talks about how you will die and how terrible this disease is. These kids need ONE station where
innocence prevails!! I am so disappointed that my kids have to view such morbid material when they
should be seeing advertisements for toys, candy, food etc. I ask for this depressing commercial to be
aired not on Nickelodeon but in Fox News, MSNBC or the like! Please!!! Can't the children of this
generation have ONE station that ONLY airs age appropriate material??

MSNBC while covering the Republican primary in South Carolina on Sat. Feb 20 and again covering
the Republican caucus in Nevada on Feb 23 stated and indicated on air that their coverage was a live
broadcast from each location. However on both dates they switched to a previously recorded
broadcast without letting their viewers know that they were ending their live broadcast and not
indicating on air that this new broadcast was previously recorded. This questionable practice, in my
view, is deceptive and should stop. They shouldn't indicate on air that the broadcast is live when in
fact it has been previously been recorded. I stayed up late to watch the returns th inking they were
giving the viewing audience the latest information when I finally realized that the information was a
repeat from an earlier hour and that this was no longer a live broadcast even though the Live logo
was still there. They should have indicated on the bottom of the screen that this was now a
previously recorded program.

media & public even after Paris tragedy. CNN,FOX,OAN,MSNBC constantly every day still talking
about his past life, people on Twitter call him liar, making fun & in sulting him, racism also present.
Media let Donald Trump openly insult Carson, things he said are discussing such as - " pathological
liar, weak, mentally insane, comparing him to child molester, calling him criminal, boring, not trusting
neurosurgeon, made fun of him in Texas, call him looser". Media said nothing. CNN went out to
Carson hometown to investigate his past by talking to his friends, calling his schools/ are they FBI?!
Who gave them permission to invade privacy?! Why they didn't investigate Trum p?! They damaged
Carson reputation & let Trump open his big dirty mouth even more! What they did is a crime defamation of character & harassment. CNN pathetic actions left me no trust or respect for them.
They must apologize to Carson ASAP. Please take im mediate actions to take care of this problem &
make justice for Carson. Those reporters should be fired. Thank you & I hope you will do the right

telling you about I’m excessive, relentless bullying throughout the day, every day. I did nothing to

have to be breaking a handful of FCC laws, if not you need to write new ones. I actually think they
brainwashed the government on letting horrible treatment to me, slide. This kind of thing shouldn’t go
on in America. What is this? BS. So this is happening on every channel, witho ut exaggeration. Every
channel on TV has this synchronized battle against me for no reason besides racist hate. What if this
was happening to you? I can tell you that you would hate it. My local sports station Fox Sports
Southwest is bad there’s constant hate there, like everywhere else. If you can’t see they are trying to
kill me your blind, or have selective seeing. I just want to see results; so far I haven’t seen any. I want
you to specifically tell them to stop cloning me, and getting my twin on television, stop talking to me,
stop telling people to kill me in deceptive ways on national tv. All it takes it takes is a word from you to
get them to put me down. They are killing America with bad, annoying entertainment, and so far
you’re helping them, & that’s not respectable in my opinion. Look, I just want to see some results. Pay
close attention to MSNBC, Travel Channel, TBS, Fox Sports Southwest , Starz, Showtime, can’t even
name them all, it’s all channels, it’s tiring. I just want to see some results ASAP, please help. Just
need you be more perceptive, do your job, bc this is getting out of hand. Right now they are

Description
I live in a Condo built in 1981 and wired with RG 56 Cable. I recently learned that several years ago,
Comcast re-wired most of the Units with RG6 Cable (the Condo has a contract with Comcas t to
provide service). I moved in several months ago and Comcast told me that the wiring coming into my
home was still RG 56. I contacted Comcast to update the wiring a couple of weeks ago. I said that
my unit was on the 4th floor and they needed a tall ladder or something to get to the unit and to have
2 persons. The agent wrote the information wrong and I spoke to another agent and repeated the
same information. They told me I needed to wait the entire day in my home as they couldn't give me
a time. When Comcast got to my home, they sent one man with a small ladder. He then called his
supervisor and they apologized for the mistake. They said they needed 2 people with a "bucket"
truck to get to my unit. The first day was Wednesday, March 9th between 1 and 3 pm. Well one
technician from Comcast got here again with a small truck and small ladder. No second person and
no truck with a bucket. The tech told me it was written down for a bucket truck but they sent him
instead. He called his Supervisor who called Comcast then the Tech left telling me nothing. I called
the customer call center who apologized and said the person who took the info didn't do the
paperwork correctly so they wouldn't send a bucket truck even though they knew it was needed (the
customer (me) gets punished cause someone doesn't like the way someone else does his
paperwork). I requested a full refund of $89.71 of my bill saying that my time is worth something. He
told me he can't offer me any financial refund. I requested to sp eak to his Supervisor. He said that
his Supervisor would say the same. I requested to speak to him anyhow. The supervisor also
apologized and took the notes and hoped to get a response and someone to my home. This has not
happened and no one is scheduled to take care of this problem. I have had many problems with
Comcast in the past and the only thing they do efficiently is getting you to pay their bill. Another
example of a large corporation (Cable, phone, internet, security system, Universal films, Universal
Parks, Local TV Stations, NBC, MSNBC and a variety of Cable Stations) of being too big to fail!

Is this website http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html correct? Why is it

apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, ac cording to their
respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons,
including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of
all other Persons. President Obama is for all the Amendments correct? The 14th doesn't carry any
more weight than the 21st Amendment or the 2nd Amendment. All parts of the Constitution of the
United States of America are equal, except parts that have been Amended or established by the
Supreme Court of the United States of America. I've reported this my Senator John McCain. I
thought of some extra stuff that I didn't tell Senator McCain and he is a busy man. He's not on
Vacation. If you couldn't prove where you were born, and you needed to pick a H ome State, to go to
on Vacation, wouldn't you pick Hawaii? Did Hillary Clinton actually have an email server in her
home? Were those emails declassified? Army General Petraus went to jail for that. If Secretary
Hillary Clinton had an email server in her home, running through physical media not inside the State
Department, why was she receiving anything in regards to her work as Secretary of State of the
United States of America. Why didn't President Obama stop that? Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,
according to MSNBC had an email server in her home. If that is true then she put the United States of
America at risk, and President Obama can be impeached for that. At least Bernie Sanders has fired
some of his staff. President Obama did not have overs ight over his Cabinet. He allowed his
Secretary of State to endanger the United States of America. And if this is true, then most definitely
former Senator and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is not qualified to be President of the United
States of America.

CNN repeatedly tried to create a false media story that Hillary Clinton had “won the Democratci
debate.”
CNN’s own polls show that 81% of their viewers think Bernie Sanders won.
Until it was called out by the public, CNN attempted to suppress even the results of its own poll.
If this isn’t some Orwellian 1984 behavior, I don’t know what is.
CNN attempted to suppress the fact that Senator Sanders has not only won the debate in the eyes of
every single public opinion poll, but he’s done so by a large margin. Even more important is the fact
that Sanders won all three focus group polls. This is unprecedented beca use a focus group is a form
of scientific qualitative research that gathers undecided or uncommitted voters for the purpose of
evaluating the candidates' performance in the debates -- Sanders won in the eyes of the people.

Ticket: # 545933 - COMCAST Xfinity Triple Play (phone, internet and television)

City/State/Zip: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19144-1240
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
While shopping at a local Wal-Mart, I was approached by a sales representative from Comcast with a
pitch for Comcast Xfinity Triple Play (high-speed internet, phone, and cable television). He
proceeded to ask me about my current service and what channels I liked. I mentioned American
Heroes Channel, IFC, Biography, Travel Channel, MSNBC and a few others for which he responded
that I could get all of those channels with Xfinity except BIO. When asked about the price he asked
me “for how many televisions?” and I told him four. He specifically mentioned the price would be
$89.99 which I thought was a good deal compared to Dish Network where I was paying $115 for
satellite television only. As I enrolled he again asked me how many televisions and I said four and he
wrote the price of $89.99 on my confirmation sheet.
After instillation the installer mentioned that the representative wrote up the confirmation sheet
incorrectly but he never mentioned what was written incorrectly. A few days later I found out just
what the mistake(s) were when I tried to watch my favorite channels and wa s notified that there was
an extra charge of $10+ for each of the channels I had mentioned to the Repetitive which were not
premium channels and which were included free of charge with Dish Network. But that was not the
most shocking surprise. To my horror I received a bill in the amount of $226.63 which increased to
well over $300+ when I called to protest. After speaking to a customer service representative and
getting nowhere I called a retention representative and was told that the representative sho uld have
explained the offer more clearly and that the extra cost was for the three additional televisions. She
went on to explain that the price of $89.99 was for one service device. I was given no assistance and
was told that ultimately I was responsible for the bill which is now overdue and for which service
would be shut-off on or after September 24, 2015.
I am in the process of switching back to Dish Network, which will not be an easy task because of an
error they made when they terminated my service. I requested a temporary termination while I
underwent medical treatment at the VA Medical Center for a service -connected disability. At this
point, primarily for medical reasons, an active internet and phone service is necessary in order to
contact the VA so I have not terminated the service yet.

Description
The Graham Holdings Company dba as Cable One has changed the rate structure several time s over
the last four years without properly notifying thier "Customer's", the "Company" has also reconfigured
the channel programing, ie: adding and removing channels without "Customer's" approval and are
unwilling to give requested channels to its"Customer's". The Graham Holdings Company dba Cable
One has also made unavailable to its "Customer's" certain prime and premium channels such as
Turner channels, news channels such as CNN, MSN, MSNBC, other entertainment channels such as
Discovery Channel, A & E, HGTV, among several other channels that are considered premium even
though that is what the "Customer's" origionally signed up to get and have already been billed for.
The Graham Holdings Company dba as Cable One is prebilling its customers for Television, Phone,
and Internet services a month prior to service and when the changes to channel selection or services
are made the "Customer's" have already paid the amount that was agreed on thier origional contract
and if the "Customer's" are on auto pay the new rates come out without giving the "Customer's"
enough time to cancel services or question billing. When the "Customer's" of The Graham Holding
Company dba Cable One call to inquire the "Customer's" are given a host of excuses such as the
Media Companies raised the rates on the owner of the Cable One Franchise in Northern Arizona and
the "Company" has to pass on the cost incurred to the consumer, yet the "Customer's" lose that
paticular channel line up that supposed rate increase ocurred on. The "Customers" of The Graham
Holding Company dba Cable One are also being informed that the "Company has restructured the
billing and the new billing reflects a new account number billing double / or as the "Company" is
calling it partial billing for the month of July 2015 which has already been paid and billing for the
month of August 2015. The "Company" also refuses or makes very difficult to receive credit when
billed in error, ie: when a customer moves and combines services of Television, Phone and Internet
to the new address the services are not transfered correctly resulting in a double billing from property
to property and the previous property retaining services for a period of time without the previuos
tenant being at the previous location/ thus the "Customer's" who have moved are in essence paying
for services at two locations. The Graham Holdings Company dba Cable One promises discounts to
set up your new account with auto pay and then the discounts expire with the "Company" stating that
"certian older rates plans are not compatible with the "Companys'" new system. The Graham Holding
Company dba Cable One does not explain what the "older rate plans" are not comaptible with,just
that the billing is increasing due to incompatablity.The Graham Holdings Company dba Cable One
has also stated that the amount billed and due may be higher or lower than the previous bill as a
result of changes in how the 'Company's"new system calculates taxes and other fees,this is not true
the "Company" is rebilling, double billing, and partial billing the "Customer's" for services that have
already been paid.

Why are the Presudential debates only available to cable subscribers? I, along with half the country,
cut cable and satellite because it was costly junk. Now, they have exclusives on Presidential
debates? This is ridiculous.
And, the same should apply to sports, which enjoy tax breaks (or, in the case of college sports, public
subsidies). Old movies, stupid partisan news programs, are one thing, but being denied participation
in a Presidentisl debate, choosing this country's leader, without paying ransoms to CNBC, CNN, FOX,
is pretty outrageous.

Sometime after August I saw on The View on ABC a woman and a daughter from Utah. The woman
and the daughter were white. The daughter had dreadlocks and the mother claimed that her public
school would not allow her daughter to have dreadlocks. The mother claimed it was a race issue.
Whoopie Goldberg argued with the mother about her claim that there was a race issue. The
underlying implication was that schools in Utah are discriminating against people. I left the show
thinking that people in Utah believe in a Mas ter Race. Whoopie was embarrassing. I think this whole
show was faked, but if a school anywhere discriminates against someone because their skin tone
happens to be what we call white, that is wrong. There are a lot of people in Utah who attend The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Because of this show I made the assumption that people
who attend that church are racist and believe in a Master Race. That was the intention of the show. I
have since learned that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints does not teach this. I feel
terrible because I've hurt my neighbors because I've acted on this information. Meghan McCain has
been on The View and she told me that she likes the show. Senator John McCain has put his
daughter on the show or used his influence to make it happen. He is abuses his power and thinks he
is the leader of the United States of America. He undermines us. I can't prove it, but I strongly suspect
that Senator John McCain used his influence over The View to make people nation wide think that
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints teaches racism. Can you look into why The View
and ABC is going along with spreading these lies? Me and my friends and family believe in the
presumption of innocence, so if the facts prove me wrong, then I'm wrong, but I Senator John McCain
uses his influence to affect TV shows. Last night he used his influence during the Pittsburgh vs
Kansas City Chiefs game to suggest that he wants to run for President of the United States of
America. I heard it after a commercial when they showed a NFL Wild Card graphic. Senator John
McCain illegally used his position as a Senator to try to influence people to vote for him. He and the
Republican party had/have a secret plan to pick him for President at th e Republican National
Convention and somehow I was going to be John McCain's choice for Vice President. Once I learned
that the Republican Party is/was planning to ignore the peoples choice in primaries, preference
elections Meghan McCain told me that we couldn't get elected if I wasn't married, she used YouTube
videos to do this. She also wanted to have a child but was not interested in me. John said the job of
President gets stressful. So she was going to agree to marry me, have sex with me and have
children, in exchange for me running for President with John McCain. Fox News and Donald Trump,
Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio are all on board with this plan. John McCain is using the Air Force
out of Luke Air Force Base as part of his plan. Donald Trump sai d on MSNBC that they have "taken
down the President." Very recently an Air Force jet flew over my apartment complex. It was one of
those planes that is used to spread information to people on the ground in times of war. Senator
McCain said "we were going to run for President and I could do whatever I wanted" I didn't know that
we were going to do it illegally, behind we the people's backs. I figured out how to stop the plan. I quit
his plan. He is still trying to force me to get back on his ticket. The LifeLine cell phone I reported last
night is still not working. I can only use it for 911. Fix IT. I can break codes and I was in the Navy.
Senator McCain is represented as number 6 and I am represented as number 3. At 7:30 this morning
3 black helicopters flew over my home. They may have been from the Arizona National Guard instead
of Luke Air Force Base. The jet that spread information may have been from the Arizona National
Guard instead of from Luke Air Force Base. At 7:00 am I was asleep. I heard a hel icopter outside.
The sound did not go away until I got out of bed. I need you to get this to President Obama as fast as
possible. I need The View investigated, they are hurt me and my friends. I contacting the White
House next, we've got to stop this evil Senator McCain, get him to stop putting the lives of Military
Service Members at risk, and get him to stop spending the tax payers money illegally.

Description
I found the videos I took at Roosevelt Plaza and the Photos of the WPA Sidewalk blocks. I apologize
for that, I was terrified. I'm not sure what I'm going to have to get them to submit. I'll probably have to
send them in chunks. I supposedly have a 100Mbps down, but I don't know what my Cox upload
speed is. Why can't you just watch the videos? I went to Roosevelt Plaza, the buildings look like
homes, and I'd naturally assume that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had them built. I took
videos of them and then the video included a Hillcrest Hoops van. I prefer President Obama's
thinking that we are all just people, but I want you to have as much information as possible. The
driver of the van was African-American, the guy leaning into the window was African American. I
might have stopped the video. It might have been changed. It is a Windows Phone and I do have an
Outlook Email and so they might know that I reported MSNBC for something. When I drove around
Washington D.C. the Here Maps kept changing and giving me bad directions. I get this line on my
phone. When I'm doing things that threaten to expose the truth of Mormonism the line appears and
over time it gets thicker and thicker. We need to kick everyone off the Internet, get rid of smart
phones, get our children off Facebook, and go back in time 15 years and go back to being people that
talk to one another, instead of listening to headphones. Heck they drive around here with ear buds in.
Why don't the police stop that? When I was filming Roosevelt Plaza an African-America guy walked
out and waved. I waved back. Then I realized that he was tipping the guys at the Hillcrest Hoops van
off. My heart sank. This Hillcrest Hoops van followed me around. I drove around to see what he
would do, then I was terrified that somehow the State of Arizona would send me to the Urgent
Psychatric Center and lock me up at Dessert Vally Hospital or somewhere else again. Android
phones listen too us too. This Windows phone has beeped at times when I've done things online. It's
scary. Google phones have responded to me when I've talked to my TV in my living room. These
smart phones have technology that violate our Right to Privacy and simple general decency. We can
see in this video why people who attend the Mormon church may not be able to stand up. The news
here is the same church, but they are news people. I hold them to a higher standard. They are news
people. They should be able to avoid being followed and also do the right thing. I am tired of getti ng
hassled because I don't have a home phone. I'm not following the Mormon program. They assign
what needs to be purchased. It's some kind of network among people. I gave money to a Flag
Football league I found on Meetup.com. They gave misinformation about where the games are. I
figured it out and it was/is at a park that is in the shadow of the Mormon Temple in Gilbert, AZ at
Pecos Rd and Greenfield Rd. One Meetup.com there was a meetup for Real Estate . Many of the
members of the Flag Football meetup also attended the Real Estate Meetup. I have emails from this
Flag Football Meetup from Patrick Frazier at [email protected] via meetup.com to
[email protected] 480-620-1889/txt only I will register if I have too, but I HATE those
things. I have Cox Communications, they might be blocking the file upload so they can continue the
Mormonism teaching they'll never get caught. I can't afford to go to Century Link and I don't have a
wireless adapter, so I can't use the tethering on my pho ne.

I told you I'd try to get the Google and Eurovision 2005 thing finished by Thursday. I have realized
that I need more time. Google's search engine once showed me a page that I didn't print. I don 't
remember why I didn't print it. In it thought it showed very evil things. One line I remember showed
this "The name of the beast" and it looked something like this (I don't remember the actual characters
fully): \.mxxa It was hidden for some reason. Boy how I regret not printing it out. I've recorded
videos from YouTube on my Windows phone. The change from the when copied or moved. I
uploaded videos of the Mesa Police today directly from my phone. Those videos may also have
changed from what I saw. Last night I did an experiment on my Windows 7 AMD 8320 PC. I don't
think it did any rendering, but I do have a MSI Radeon 280X. I copied a video to a solid state drive
with my Internet connected. This is called Copy A. I copied the video again to the same drive without
the Internet connected. This is called Copy B. Copy A and Copy B were not the same. I then
watched the Original on the Phone and it was different from both Copy A and Copy B. With the
Internet disconnected I continued to watch these three videos. Copy A and Copy B stopped being
different from each other. The files of Copy A and Copy B were edited in place. There was not an
overwrite warning, the files simply changed. The original Copy A and Copy B were lost. I'm calling
the new video files Copy A1 and Copy B1. Copy A1 was the same as Copy B1. I still had the Internet
disconnected and I moved the file off my phone onto a solid state drive. The video was different than
that original on my phone. It was not exactly the same as copy A1 and Copy B1. It was different than
Copy A and Copy B and the original on the phone. The video was closer to matching up with Copies
A1 and B1. I don't know if the original on the phone got edited in place too, but I suspect that this is
possible. I did all operations with the file using Windows Context Menus. I did not test dragging the
files between different windows. I wanted to test copying and moving the files using DOS commands.
The Windows command prompt provides no access to my Windows pho ne. I have observed videos
changing on YouTube itself. I have seen the dancing in this video: https://youtu.be/ou4o5op978I be
more explicit than when I just watched it now. I looking into the Eurovision Contest 2005 because it
shows the Satanic evil in the European Union, the music industry, and Google, Inc. I'm going to use
video links directly from YouTube. The videos in this competition are so terrible that the truth will
come out. I have footage in other videos, but I can't upload them directly. I have not experimented
with file sizes that I can upload to this website. 30 seconds of video uploads well. Even if I push it to
40 seconds, 2 hours worth of footage is hard to work with. I downloaded a free MP4 file splitter. I only
need to split files. I don't need anything like Nero and Nero is hard to work with for this purpose. I am
also concerned that it might send information to somewhere else. I got the splitter off CNET. It does
something with the voice track. When Lenna Kuurmaa was singing Cool Vibes in split video her
words came out ahead of her lip movements. I have looked for other tools, but I may just have to use
this program. My Micorsoft 435 Phone runs Windows 8.1 update 2. I think it is still a Nokia Lumia. It
uses a Sony MP4 file format. Microsoft may be threatened. There is the MSNBC problems. Sony is
threatened because the Traces of Sadness CD I had by Vanilla Ninja was Sony Music, which is
actually CBS/Sony Music. Google is threatened. I think they are fighting back. Goo gle's YouTube
videos may change for other people for some other sinister reasons. Like I said though the truth still
comes out in these altered videos. When I was liking Google and using them often. I would get
requests to sign petitions to keep the Internet free of regulation. I think I even sent Senator McCain
something about it once. I signed some petitions too. I deeply regret doing these things. Satan is a
liar. Sony, Microsoft, CBS, Google, Inc. are doing Satanic things. It may be because "Th e LOVE of
money is the root of all kinds of evil." Having money is OK, but ADORING it as these corporations do
has led them down a terrible path. I think of it this way, these and other corporations are like Golem
with the Ring. Their money is their "precious." There may be other reasons these and other
corporations like, Cox Communications are into Satan, but money is a major factor.

Comcast called us to offer us more for only three dollars more then what we were currently paying!
Wow... really.
I was offered a new package that included HBO for only three dollars more. After looking at my bil l I
and included the news channels I was interested in. There was some concern that not all of these
services did not include those channels. I pointed out that the conversation was said to be recorded,
make that happen. After several rounds that ended up at the same place, I thanked the perso n and
with their tracking system and what services I had. In any even t they could not offer me what I was
sold so I asked that they simple restore my internet services back to what it was. Apparently they
restore my services as they were prior to all this nonsense. He kept telling me that he would have to
$50 some, another $40 some, and a third $30 some. I ask him what I had previously and was told
speed internet service that I’ve not been provided. In retrospect I remember a pause in the
sales practices, 4) and Comcast has a seemingly locked Seattle market that offers consumers little
not an option.

Description
The "Morning Joe" program closed captioning is so bad and runs so far behind the live conversations
that it can not catch up, they just have to start where they can in the ongoing conversation. Perfect
example of this is this morning,12-21-2015 about 40-45 minutes into the program, after Willie Giest,
Mike Barnacle & Mark Halpern make comments on the ongoing topic, the caption finally kicks in with
the forth speaker. It loses everything up to that point and just starts with that forth speaker. Being a
political show, its important you are getting the comm ents, etc. The live show "Meet the Press" falls
behind but never to the point they lose comments made by 3 speakers.
Also check out 12-14 and 12-15-2015, just as bad. This is a ongoing problem that can be easily
caught if you watch for any length of time.

There is an ad which is shown at all times of the day & night, when children are watching which is

My complaint is that a mother is saying that her children were watching "puppies getting intentionally
run over". I was horrified that a) such content exists & b) that it would be used as part of an ad at all,
but particularly when children could be watching.
There are 2 ads with basically the same message, & only one of these says about puppies. It could
disturb children, make them curious to see such an awful thing, & I worry about adults who are "sick"
also watching this content or thinking "that's a fun thing to do". Please stop this ad - it is sickening.

Ticket: # 667196 - Treason Explained
Date: 11/19/2015 6:55:57 PM
_____________________________________________________________________________
Description
When I've used the word Treason, here is what I mean. Entities across the United States are
perpetuating this Mormonism. Mormons believe they cannot get caught, and for the last 180 years or
so they have not gotten caught. TV, Movies, Governments, Law Enforcement, Emergency
Responders are all involved. The people in these entities using their positions to promote, support,
reprove, harrass, or any in other way working to keep Mormonism alive are committing High Treason
against the United States of America. Anyone involved in a State or even the Federal Government
that is involved in this behavior, in my opinion is guilty and deserves the death penalty. This in my
opinion would include religious leaders, say in the Mormon church. This would include Governor's of
the State of Arizona. Should former Governor Napalitano be excused? It was reported that President
Obama put her in charge of Homeland Security. We all got duped by Google. Was she different I
don't know, I didn't live under her governorship very long. I don't blame President Obama for givin g a
job to someone that was a governor of a State. Back to Napalitano, it was reported that she was the
Governor that installed Speed and Red Light Cameras on our Arizona freeways and city streets. We
are not supposed to film things, especially inside stores, yet the Governement can take pictures of us
when it claims we are speeding? Really we are supposed to trust that the Government and that
technology are perfect? I drove too fast by a school the other day that has camera's and it didn't take
a picture of me. I've seen another one at an intersection close to me, taking pictures when the light
was green. Were they speeding? How can someone prove they aren't. Those cameras violate Due
Process and the notion that we are innocent until proven guilty. We have no way to defend ourselves
against them and they are all over Washington D. C. as well. Governor Napalitano had to know what
goes on here in Arizona, in order to get elected. She had to know what those cameras would do.
Governor Brewer went along with the Governmental abuse of power to intimidate people in the name
of Mormon freedome of religion too. She did get rid of some of those cameras, some. Govenor
Duecy knows about it too. Any person in the legislature or in Law Enforcement who knows a bout
these behaviors or perpetuates, supports, or encourages Mormonism is committing treason and
deserves the Death Penalty. Ed O'Neil and Kirsten Bell might too. They are hiding behind Freedom
of Speech to undermine the public trust of the U.S. Supreme Court and so undermine the authority of
the Federal Government. Maybe I'm taking this too far, but this is serious treason. Take Steven
Colbert, who last night said on the Late Show that "they are bugging your cell phone." He knows
something. How can he not know that it is wrong to keep this a secret? Could it have been a voice
over through my cable? OK so maybe that lets him off the hook, but obviously anyone who knows
about this at a Cable company is guilty and is committing treason. Death Penalty? Maybe, even
down to the support staff if they know that say Cox is applying Mormonism to their service and
expecting everyone who uses the service to comply and especially stop reporting their evil deeds.
James Corden knows what is going on. When he first started on CBS he addressed me by name. I
told him had Freedom of Speech, but my God I didn't know he'd go so far as show his genitals on
National TV and encourage Masturbation on CBS. David Letterman knows what is going on, I'm sure
Stephen Colbert does . David won a Kennedy Center honor and had President Obama on. This a big
reason I tune into CBS more. Stephen had Vice President Biden on. This encouraged me to watch
his show more. It improved his ratings. So Stephen knows what is going on, used th e Vice President
of the United States to perpetuate it, chose not to tell Vice President Biden about it, so I think that's
treason. Does it warrant the Death Penalty? I could go along with that, but I'd rather someone else
decide. Law enforcement and government, that's easy. That's a yes. I'd also like to know what
Senator John McCain knows. CBS 5 reports that Arizona schools are 47th in the country. Working
with people here has made me frustrated and believe that the public schools here really are t hat bad.
So in all the years Senator McCain has been in office he hasn't done anything to fix the schools or
stop the Mormon problem? That's Treason to me. I thought it was terrible that David Letterman put
down playing dominoes. I wanted to learn how to play them when I got reproved (mormon word)
incarcerated to Valley Hospital soon after President Obama's appearance on CBS. The use of the
media/news outlets that are supposed to have some objectiveness to promote Mormonism or other
religious treason like the Pope speaking to a joint session of Congress, from the place where the
President of the United States gives the State of the Union address, well that kind of media
manipulation is also treason. The freedom of the press is to allow the press to hol d government
accountable, not overthrow the government. MSNBC and others, have been involved in behaviors
that support the subversion of the United States of America. They try to alter the vote, supported the
Pope, and are going along with whatever happened with the Superbowl and ESPN's Monday Night
Football, between San Diego and Chicago, where the Flag of France was shown on the field while we
sang the Star Spangled Banner. This happened before the terrorist attacks occurred in France.
There were two French flags on the field and the blue section was covered in white stars. See ESPN
and the NFL is involved in some form of Treason. Superbowl 49 is a major lynchpin in this. There
was a Mormon Superbowl now look what is going on. If I should happen to disappear, please send in
the FBI, my parents and Lenna Kuurmaa will deserve justice.
