They believe it because it almost certainly will fly. Comcast and NBC/Universal went through and we haven't seen any signs of reduction in competition. Especially now that the FCC has made net neutrality the law, there shouldn't be any fear about vertical monopoly over media. It's absurd to think that media can be constrained into traditional mediums anymore. Television is dying. Hell, AOL already did this exact merger without any problems.
