John Kerry actually said...

"The government staying out of it certainly hasn't resolved the disputes nor relieved consumers of the problem that's come more and more to our attention."

"I just wanted the record to reflect the value transferred and the reality of this new negotiation."

"Senator Kerry's proposed legislation would make this authority explicit."

"We look forward to working with Senator Kerry and other members of this Committee on legislation to fix the problems with retransmission consent."
