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.

Historically, when ever a revolution or coup starts, the very first action is to take control of national communication - radio, TV, etc.

[make no mistake]

So, how are things going to change? Is Free Republic threatened in anyway?

[W.]

Nothing’s been said, AFAIK. We’ll see how tomorrow shakes out.

[W.]

Good ta see you, too. Took a bike ride this morning, 15° but no wind and sunny. This Republic is in trouble, and it’s hell just keepin’ up! Gotta keep diggin’... ;)

not whatsoever!

it stands to reason that liberty despising Gyorgy Schwartz ..aka Georg Soros..would have big money in this game.

Im surprised we found out about it...but certainly not that it happened

[Brad from Tennessee]

For at least the last ten years George Soros has advocated internet censorship.

Yes, all one has to do is ask: "Who wants this?" Soros, the $8B long-lost left-wing Koch brother... ;)

We found out too late, if we had got wind of it when they started this, we'd had more time to deal with it. This is like letting the dog in and it barfs on the floor. Where did that come from kinda thing...

[MeshugeMikey]

I wonder how long its been in the open...inside the government?

if the republican comminsioners didnt know...and they might not have been IN on the planning I can understand how a commission could keep it “black” until the last minute

DEFUND THE FCC NOW!!

[W.]

They’ve been sore since Lewinsky. If they want to play with cans of worms, it’s their call...

[W.]

I just found this, a good omen, maybe: Smash here.

[MeshugeMikey]

Thank YOU! twenty years of internet ..would be a terrible thing for me to lose

[a fool in paradise]
