"Net Neutrality" is liberal code for the so-called "fairness doctrine." In reality, it would make the existence of groups like Free Republic impossible since of course we are not "balanced." Liberals want to make sure conservatives can't express an opinion unless a liberal is around to counter it.

It's net neutrality that made FR possible in the first place. Do you think that in the beginning JR could have afforded the extra fee to let us visit FR with any decent speed? No, the MSM and cronies would have bought out all the high-speed access, letting us get only their news, everybody else relegated to the slow, second-class Internet that nobody visits.

Lack of net neutrality will create two classes of content providers: those with lots of money and those without. Those with money will be able to reach the people, those without will have a hard time doing so.

IIRC, what makes the Internet great is that anybody can be a publisher with great reach, or a world-wide businessman, with little capital investment. That great equalizer will now go away.

That post is insanely wrong on every level.

You have no clue what you're talking about.

it has absolutely nothing to do with the fairness doctrine. You're being sold a bill of goods by the telecoms.
