“It is deeply disturbing that FCC staff appear to be disregarding arguments that do not fit a preconceived agenda,” said Phil Kerpen, President of American Commitment, which organized over 800,000 comments against net neutrality. “As an independent, expert agency, the FCC has an obligation to weigh arguments and evidence evenly before making decisions. However, the FCC’s recent process failures threaten one of the greatest assets of any independent agency: its perceived objectivity.”
It’s “objectivity” is compromised by direct orders from Obama saying “git ‘er done”.

I’d like to see how they are believed to be an ‘expert’. By their OWN authority? You’d think EXPERTS could define ‘pornography’ vs. ‘art’ vs. 1st Amendment vs. ....for instance.
And NOBODY in D.C. in independent; it all works for the benefit of...D.C. They, and the rest, know where their bread is buttered (from our wallets, but I digress).
