Re: More Spin Control
said by G_Poobah  :I look forward to seeing all those executives who publicly supported the idea of raping the consumer humiliated, bankrupted and blackballed from ever working again. Oh if only this would be what happened. It won't.

OK, I'll bite. How can a two tiered network be compared to 'separate but equal'? The whole point of having two tiers is that they're NOT equal. You pay extra for the better tier. | |

| This is nothing except the reborn evil empire doing their standard spin control. Much to the chagrin of the megacorps, the mainstream press has picked up the news, and people are rightfully outraged. When CNN, MSNBC, Newsweek and Time Magazines next week issue all have big stories about it, it DOESN'T paint a pretty picture of the telcos. Their greed has gotten the better of them, because we as Americans look at the rest of the world, and can see the greed for what it is. Journalists are tapping into a deep mind swell of American culture, when they RIGHTFULLY COMPARE this to racist institutions of the past, a dark chapter in our history the megacorps would love to bring back. It was called 'separate but equal', and the reality is that it was anything but if you were black. Net neutrality isn't just a concept, it's a fundamental RIGHT enjoyed by every other network in the world, and since the public is getting riled up, I look forward to seeing all those executives who publicly supported the idea of raping the consumer humiliated, bankrupted and blackballed from ever working again.
p.s. For all those who said this would never happen, and net neutrality wouldn't pass, I say (in Nelsons best voice) "Ha ha!". Sell your shares now suckers..
