Glenn Greenwald has the scoop:

Quite predictably, Comcast’s legal counsel, David Silverman of Davis Wright Tremaine LLP in Washington DC, wrote an email late last week (here) claiming — laughably — that Comcast has decided to reject the ad because it “would face potential liability for any defamation contained in the spot.” Silverman identified one line in the ad during which the logos of the lawbreaking telecoms (including Comcast) are displayed — “[Carney] wants to pardon phone companies who broke the law and gave thousands to his campaign” — and claimed that this statement “is factually incorrect and potentially defamatory against the entities shown.”

People are complex individuals. We can do terrible things and perform great deeds in the space of a single lifetime. No one person is uniformly “good” or “evil.” Even humanity’s worst villains had areas of notable (if inexplicable) compassion, that shade their otherwise stark portraits with a little bit of gray. And people that are universally recognized as “heroes” can often turn out to be anything but in the overall scheme. Take John McCain, for example.
