House Republicans pile on against FCC Deem and Pass
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 28th at 07:01 PM |
I’ve hated to have to talk about out 72 House Democrats (and now John Dingell) are on the record against the FCC and its “Title II reclassification” power grab to deem that the Telecommunications Act 1996 no longer exists and so the FCC can do whatever it wants to ISPs, include control prices and regulate content. Well now I don’t have to so much anymore. | Read More »

Even Democrats are against FCC Deem and Pass [Updated]
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 24th at 11:19 PM |
When the FCC announced plans to declare that ISPs are no longer information services, but are instead phone companies, the FCC claimed the authority to regulate content and prices on Internet service nationwide. And no matter how many times the neo-Marxists at Free Press (and their front group Save the Internet) claim that Net Neutrality is all about “preserving an open Internet,” the FCC’s actions | Read More »

Free Press = Astroturf. Greenish, plastic, rootless Astroturf.

I hear that Free Press employees all have to see the New Orleans Saints’s old team doctor after one month on the job, because they all get turf toe by that point. But seriously, they really are. National Journal recently wrote them up (subscription only, unfortunately) but here’s what I think the key takeaway is about the neo-Marxist organization dedicated to the nationalization of all | Read More »
Jay Inslee (D, WA) uses lobbyist letter for Net Neutrality push.
By: Moe Lane (Diary) | May 10th at 05:45 PM |
I believe that the technical term for this is “Oops.” A letter that Rep. Jay Inslee, D-Wash., is circulating on Capitol Hill expressing gushing support for FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski’s controversial proposal to subject broadband to tougher regulation wasn’t written by the congressman. How do we know? Digital fingerprints left by the author, Ben Scott, policy director of Free Press, a media watchdog. (H/T: Ed | Read More »
FCC: Wholly owned subsidiary of Free Press
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 8th at 11:51 AM |
When I said that Free Press, the fringe neo-Marxist organization pushing Net Neutrality, has as an end goal the nationalization of the mass media in America, I suspect some people thought I was exaggerating the threat. But look at this Media Bistro report about senior FCC advisor Steve Waldman: On Monday night the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) senior advisor to the chairman Steve Waldman tried | Read More »
The FCC grabs power unlawfully to appease a fringe movement
By: Neil Stevens (Diary) | May 5th at 09:31 PM |
I’ve been ill but please bear with me. Today brought some huge news for anyone who conducts business or pleasure on the Internet: The FCC has announced its plans to deem and pass Net Neutrality. Specifically, The FCC will defy a court order to stop regulating the Internet by nonsensically deeming the Internet not to be an information service, and regulate it under Title II | Read More »
