"TechDirt brings into focus one of the largest problems in the net neutrality debate, not the issues themselves, rather it's the people involved and the lies they like to sling. An example of this is certainly the number of lobbyists that are being looked to as 'experts' and getting their opinions published as such. One specific example was a recent piece published in the Baltimore Sun by Mike McCurry, a lobbyist working for AT&T who claimed that with new legislation working for net neutrality Google wouldn't have to pay a dime. In response, TechDirt has suggested that McCurry should swap telco bills with Google, somehow I doubt it will happen."
The nerds are talking about their Net, leaving "Neutrality" to the machines.
The longer I read Slashdot and DKos, the more common ground they have. Of course, they're both American discussion websites including politics in their scope. I hope my cross-pollination helps the Nerds learn some real politics, and the Kossacks learn some stuff that matters to Nerds.
