$20 Billion Discrimination Lawsuit Claims Comcast Paid Off Al Sharpton

On Monday, Eriq Gardner of The Hollywood Reporter spotlighted how the National Association of African-American Owned Media filed a lawsuit against Comcast and Time Warner Cable which seeks "at least $20 billion in damages from the way the two giants allegedly discriminate against black-owned media." The lawsuit also alleges that Comcast "made large cash 'donations'" to Al Sharpton (who works for the Comcast-owned MSNBC) and his National Action Network in order to "divert attention away from discrimination."

In his report, "Comcast, Al Sharpton Hit With $20 Billion Racial Discrimination Lawsuit, " Gardner first pointed out that the two cable companies are going through a planned merger, and that the National Association of African-American Owned Media "filed a similar suit against AT&T and DirecTV in December." The writer continued that the organization is "not only targeting both Comcast and TWC [Time Warner Cable] — on the eve of the two companies merging to become what would be the largest pay television distributor in the United States — but also various African-American advocacy groups and MSNBC host Al Sharpton for allegedly facilitating discrimination."

CAUGHT ON TAPE: Al’s all about the money…

Al Sharpton is all about the Benjamins, a daughter of police chokehold victim Eric Garner claims in a bombshell videotape.

Erica Snipes tees off on the reverend as interested primarily in money during a conversation secretly recorded by controversial conservative activist James O’Keefe’s group, Project Veritas.

One of O’Keefe’s investigators with a hidden camera posed as a Garner supporter during a protest last month at the St. George Ferry Terminal on Staten Island.

“You think Al Sharpton is kind of like a crook in a sense?” the investigator is heard asking Garner’s oldest daughter.

JAMES O’KEEFE UNDERCOVER VIDEO: ‘I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE’…

UPDATE: O’Keefe’s story has been published by the New York Post, although his own Project Veritas website went down before its release.

Conservative filmmaker James O’Keefe is about to release a bombshell story that has the journalist fearing for his life.

We have a story we’re going to release this coming week and I've never thought about this before but I am afraid for my life on this one.
