Liberal philanthropist George Soros and the Ford Foundation have lavished groups supporting the administration’s “net neutrality” agenda, donating $196 million and landing proponents on the White House staff, according to a new report.
And now, as the Federal Communications Commission nears approving a type of government control over the Internet, the groups are poised to declare victory in the years-long fight, according to the report from MRC Business, an arm of the conservative media watchdog, the Media Research Center.
“These left-wing groups not only impacted the public debate and funded top liberal think tanks from the Center for American Progress to Free Press.

The author is too kind by far. Soros is a fascist thug and nation wrecking profiteer.
Sounds like Daddy Warbucks Soros is trying to shut the freedom lovers up. The next time a commie lib complains about the Koch brothers, hand him/her a knuckle sandwich.
The tragedy is that so many have done so.
At least one state decided against the claim that free speech is political contributions.
.. but alas as some expect it's the ability to harass that may well be the intent -- it worked for decades as the "Fairness Doctrine." The FD did not prohibit political speech it just made some speech very, very expensive; to wit, liberals swarmed the FCC with complaints demanding FREE equal time from the radio stations. If the station owners refused the FCC could pull their licenses.
(Yes, I know this is about the Internet free speech.)
Citizens past defended free speech against enemies with blood.. we can do no less to defend free speech against enemies.. our free speech, their blood.
” Soros is a fascist thug and nation wrecking profiteer. “
Soros is not even allowed in much of Asia. Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia refer to him a “ The Devil”
Just like global warming.
If there’s any reason to oppose it, the main reason is who is pushing it.
That’s exactly what it is, it’s more lib double talk just like the “Affordable care act” scam.
I knew there was a putrid odor this morning. When I saw, “SOROS”, I knew why...
Not surprised but it’s just incredible how he is behind so much trouble making.
If the internet gets messed with it will be the end of the Democrat party for 30 years. People are real touchy about their phones and access. You think 2014 was a spanking at the poles? It’ll be 3X worse in 2016.
BTTT
Thanks W.
I hold out a tiny hope that there will be some sort of backlash, but with Obama illegally packing the electorate with illegals, it is a tiny hope.
The Republic sure isn't doing well...
5.56mm
Thanks Civ - I did search and didn’t find it... should have looked up your pings...
This republic will not survive those who elected this POS twice.
They didn’t “lavished groups supporting the administration’s “net neutrality” “ they bought the groups then stuck them on that agenda. These changes will slow down the internet, take away the freedom in it and give power to the Chinese... And no, I still don’t know how the Chinese benefit, but they do.
Just nullify by ignoring them. We have precedence on our side since Obambi nullifies our laws and Constitution on a weekly basis.
There aren't enough Fedgov enforcers to make a difference other than a few examples. At that point, we all contribute to their defense and give aid to their families. The time has come...
I also ten to think this will outrage everyone. If it comes to pass, then set up an off-shore system if that is viable. If not, nullify!
and which of the Congressmen and Senators are receiving “encouragement”($$$$) from Soros and the Ford Foundation??
