In reply to the discussion: The real reason a very loud few are posting hostility toward Barack Obama at DU: [View all]Armstead
(47,803 posts)174. Please answer me this
Comcast is seeking to buy Time Warner, which would create a de facto monopoly over cable service, and a large chunk of broadband Internet.
Meanwhile, Comcast and the other Members of the cartel who control access to the Internet want to eliminate the concept of Net Neutrality. Nobody except these companies want that Presudent Obama promised to defend Net Neutrality.
Then he appoints to head the FCC a guy who is closely associated with Comcast and is a member of the industry he is supposed to regulate......And then this same FCC Commissioner proposes to basically kill Net Neutrality.
That doesn't bother you? Not even a little bit?
We're just supposed to sit around and say nice things about President Obama and let that happen with nary a peep?
