Comcast Accuses Time Warner Cable Deal Opponents of "Extortion"

http://recode.net/2014/09/24/comcast-accuses-time-warner-cable-deal-opponents-of-extortion/

    The cable giant's latest salvo uses unusually strong language to
    attack its opponents, who are mostly upholding a long tradition of
    requesting that self-serving conditions be attached to a merger
    approval. It's also ironic, given that Comcast, in an effort to win
    support for the deal, voluntarily agreed to a host of conditions for
    competitors just three years ago when it acquired NBCUniversal.
