Is this really news? Congresscritters get lobbied. Other Congresscritters are getting money from Cable companies to block the bill. It has been this way since 1800. If you want to play, get a group together; collect money; and pay your favorites.
True BUT it is getting to ridiculous levels. When the law is bent so far AND out in the open, people will complain and change will be forced.

The rich(rich people & rich groups) run the world, they always have, and always will. You can complain about that, but it won't change anything.
Who says it won't change? Bernie Ebbers didn't think he could go to jail for Worldcomm/MCI. Shilling and Lay didn't think they would be arrested for Enron either.

They made the cardinal mistake. They cost other rich people and groups a lot of money. And they are getting paid back for that. Hate to sound cynical, but that is the way the world works.
