February 5, 2010
From this morning's Earlybird:
• "The chief executives of NBC Universal and Comcast received a tongue-lashing Thursday from a former NBC comedian-turned-senator who lectured them about the consequences of their proposed merger," CongressDailyAM (subscription) reports. Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., "questioned during a hearing whether the companies would live up to the public-interest commitments they've made to federal regulators to win approval of the megamerger."
• "Commerce Secretary Gary Locke, addressing the worries of department employees whose personal information was released on the Internet, told them Thursday, 'These failures are simply unacceptable,'" the Washington Post reports.
