  • Comcast takes over MSNBC.com; content will reflect cable channel MSNBC  [Philadelphia Inquirer] “Comcast and NBC bought out Microsoft’s 50 percent stake in MSNBC.com for a reported $300 million late last week. Readers logging on to MSNBC.com on Monday were redirected to NBCNews.com, a new website.
