A Federal Communications Commission commissioner is facing scrutiny for resigning her post to become a top lobbyist for the media giant, Comcast-NBC. The commissioner, Meredith Attwell Baker, joins Comcast-NBC just four months after voting to approve the companies’ controversial merger. In a statement, Craig Aaron of the media reform group Free Press said, “This is … perhaps [the] most blatant example of a so-called public servant cashing in at a company she is supposed to be regulating… The continuously revolving door at the FCC continues to erode any prospects for good public policy.”
