Re: Give Me A Break
said by devnuller  :said by Karl Bode :But are carriers like AT&T and Comcast really struggling so badly under the current pricing model, that they can afford multi-million-dollar CEO bonuses and fantastic profits but can't upgrade their infrastructure? The above statement is nothing more than agenda based rhetoric. There's only one problem. Unlike rhetoric, which is mostly false, that question states proven FACTS that are public information and therefore impossible to refute.

| Rhetoric almost always uses statistics and real facts.
BUT rhetoric puts them together in an inflammatory fashion to infer relationships between the statistics and facts which really doesn't exist. This is designed to generate an emotional vs. logical understanding of the situation by people that really don't understand the entire story.
Think political attack ads, net-neutrality debates, or any other agenda based information. They all have real facts and statistics behind them, but are put together in a way to push a specific message. |
