rason #1 not to trust the guy ?

He is a politician and he is talking.

Blankfist, aren't you an IT guy? Flash programmer or somethign? You should know better. This is AT&T, NBC-Comcast, money flowing right through reason.tv right into the youtube.

Remember how much money people wasted buying myspace and what not?

I'm not going to say that they want to carve the internet up into little profit ponds. I'm saying I know I would want to. Making billions, doubling your market cap, being a CEO of a glamourous media company. I would carve up the internet if i were them.

As a libertarian you know that large corporations often push regulations thu congress so that smaller, more competitive companies can't enter the market. Deregulation is good.

So why are you posting this shit? This video actually says that the FCC has to regulate content. What a terrible lie.

Just like billionaires got the estate tax repealed by scaring dumfux about some death tax... they sent buses around claiming to be grassroots, trying to pass this flat tax shit. Meanwhile all the dumasses don't know that if you made less than 3.5 million in 2009, you aint paying the death tax.

I guess I'm saying you're as dum as the idiots who let themselves be terrorized into repealing the estate tax. Terrorized by some propaganda a few billionaires bought with their pocket change.

look at the phone and cable companies. They are in backroom deals with the FCC in order to shut out your internet and pipe their internet in. it's happening now. Reason.tv doesn't give a shit about a free internet. They care about keeping the lights on for Reason.tv. They won't report on the backroom deals that will turn your internet connection into a NBC.com pipe. Why do you think comcast is buying NBC? Do you think they like peacocks? No so they can turn your goddamn internet into a shopping mall for NBC.

Anyhow the wall street journal reports on the deal.

what do you think will happen if NBC doesn't get it's way? Exactly what is the FCC going to fuck up? Reason.tv would have you think it's going to turn the internet into some kind of communist propaganda newspaper. Really, what exactly is the FCC going to do?

Moving this video to blankfist's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
