Re: Sad

said by caco:

All reports so far are saying that Comcast rep. was drilled pretty hard by FCC and Congressional representatives. Nowhere in any report does it say that the other side couldn't have done the same thing and we will never know because no one asked.
Bzzzt. Wrongo, bucko.

said by Conde Nast Portfolio :
Free Press had been trying to organize supporters to attend the hearing by issuing press releases and circulating flyers advertising the event.

Unlike Comcast, Free Press did not pay anyone to stand in line, Aaron said, nor did it provide transportation to any of its supporters.

So you would have preferred a meeting filled with people from the other side that would have standing ovation every time someone made pointed remark about Comcast.
You obviously didn't attend or listen to the meeting audio. Quite frankly, the audience participation was quite polite. There was polite applause for all of the presenters (except for Comcast's presentation, which brought applause so abnormally loud it might have brought the house down).

Other than that, the audience basically let the meeting happen, with maybe 4-5 spontaneous bursts of applause throughout the day after a presenter (on either side) made a particularly popular point.

Rules don't change just because it is Comcast.
No, I don't suppose that they do. But it's good to get the facts out so that people can know how clean or slimy the company is behaving throughout this inquiry.
