“Net Neutrality is not the Fairness Doctrine.”

You can say that, but no one really knows what it is yet. If history’s any guide, it could easily turn into a de facto fairness doctrine. Look what happened to superficially neutral donation disclosure requirements. How long did it take for politicians to use the information for punishment and reward? Early next morning, or did they push it off ‘til after a light lunch?

Net Neutrality means that he gov't can decide that some bits are more equal than others.

-----------Net Neutrality is not the Fairness Doctrine.------------

What do you think this guy thinks net neutrality is?

White House Information Czar Cass Sunstein Calls For Controlling Information

==========Sunstein discusses how conservative websites should provide links to liberal websites and vice versa or even how political blogs should be made to include pop ups that show "a quick argument for a competing view".========

There aren't very many people more powerful than Sunstein in our government. He's regulator #1. So if he thinks that popup windows and "voluntary is a very troubling concept" is net neutrality, then that's net neutrality. Cause he's the one who can make it so.

And he's never shown that he's changed his mind, meaning he still believes this.
