Today, two renowned media outlets published arguments against the Comcast merger with Time Warner Cable.

The New York Times editorial board wrote that the Justice Department and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) should block the merger on the grounds that it would concentrate too much power in a market that already lacks competition.

"By buying Time Warner Cable, Comcast would become a gatekeeper over what consumers watch, read and listen to," the editorial board wrote, citing that 64 percent of U.S. homes have one or two choices for broadband internet service.

The Times briefly mentioned another massive merger between AT&T and DirecTV that would further reduce market competition.

The Center for Public Integrity's Allan Holmes wrote that Comcast's investment in cheaper internet for low-income customers was a feeble and ineffective attempt to convince the FCC that the company has consumers' best interests in mind. Holmes anchored the article around a 53-year-old Pennsylvania man living off of $169 a month in food stamps who was not eligible for "Internet Essentials" because the program requires buyers to have children, leaving out millions of low-income individuals who can not afford the full-priced internet.

Comcast CEO Brian Roberts argued that just as companies like Netflix pay the post office to mail DVDs, companies should also have to pay to send large amounts of content to consumers.

"They would like it all to be free," Roberts said while speaking at a tech conference. "I would like to not have to pay for cable boxes."
