Full story: www.examiner.com

If Comcrap wants to do something worth wihle, fire Ronald Moore and the rest of the executive staff of the failed SyFy channel.

Since Ronald Moore and staff got the change from Scifi to SyFy, the channel has gone to shit and Ronald Moore produced shows get in front of the line versus decent Sci-fi ideas.

Oh sure. Take your ball and go home.
Comcast is a far-far right corporation that does not
tolerate opinions differing from its own. Comcast has a lively political forum and keeps it
left-wing free at all times. If you are a rightie any statement is permitted no matter how extreme and bigoted. Lefties have to toe the line or they are history..

What was manufactured?

Comcast Vice President Steve Kipp wrote Reel Grrls an e-mail, including a link to the Tweet, saying the Comcast wouldn’t contribute the $18,000 it had promised for the film camp. Kipp is in charge of sponsoring the Reel Grrls summer program.
