8:53Now PlayingSen. Al Franken is the only Senate Judiciary Committee member to oppose the merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable. Watch a video of Sen. Franken on CNN talking about why money in politics is a bad thing.
Comcast is set to buy Time Warner Cable for $45 billion, which would create a cable TV behemoth in an industry that has steadily increased prices for bundles of channels and services that many consumers dislike but feel forced to buy.
Comcast is known as one of the biggest spenders in all of politics, with more than 100 lobbyists registered in D.C. CNN has found that every one of the 18 members of the Senate Judiciary Committee has gotten cash donations from Comcast at some point in the last decade.
