kudos:1 | People Who Live In Glass Houses I'm an enthusiastic reader of both BBR and Reason Online. I get lots of valuable information from both sites.
I disagree with the Reason panel's recommendation to ban municipal broadband services.
But when it comes to objective reporting, and, over time, presenting diverse points of view, Reason does make a serious effort. BBR makes no attempt that I can detect to present points of view other than their own. I have no problem with that. It's an interesting point of view.
But BBR questioning Reason's objectivity? Yeah... Right...

| It seems to me the concern isn't so much about objectivity. Subjectivity is fine if you're clearly a "Libertarian" or "consumer advocacy" site. The concern is these groups continually pretending that the agenda is increased broadband deployment or "real competition", when the goal is the idealistic quest for a powerless government, in order to achieve maximum revenue. It is greed dressed up as policy and consumer advocacy. There is a real problem with the use of sophisticated corporate propaganda to control the entire dialog over the direction of telecom policy. I think these are legitimate issues worth discussing. |
