It's a little scary how quickly an unsourced and highly questionable story can spread when it feeds a popular narrative (in this case that Comcast is evil).


"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~ Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Jonathan Swift, or some other person who said things good.

Whoever said it, they said it before the dawn of the internet. What was once a figurative embellishment is now the literal truth. This story was almost everywhere on social media before any of the high level people at Comcast had the chance to put their shoes on and show up at work on Monday morning to comment on it.


Great quote!


It's a little scary how a denial by the company can easily dissuade a dissenting opinion.
