US on verge of approving NBC-Comcast deal: report

Apparently no one in the government seems to realize that greater concentration of media in fewer hands is a bad thing:
US regulators were on the verge of approving cable giant Comcast's purchase of entertainment titan NBC Universal and could announce the deal as early as Tuesday, a US newspaper reported.

The Wall Street Journal's website, citing unnamed sources, said Monday that Federal Communications Commission (FCC) officials spent the weekend making last-minute revisions to an order clearing the deal.
