The FCC has nothing to do with it you "Moron" and/or "Maroon" (There's no way you're savvy enough to know "moran" and who says Maroon except Bugs Bunny?)

It's the FTC that may not allow it. It's like you don't even read the thread before you click the little Quick Reply button...

Wait, what?!! This doesn't make sense. Even if it did and I understood what you're trying to say, you're missing the point that the general reasoning for not allowing mergers like this one is to protect consumers from being screwed. The FCC and the DOJ's Antitrust Division aren't trying to be "Big Brother" here.
