Net Neutrality Op-Ed in the Wall Street Journal Was Written by Comcast Attorney
I am always impressed by the number of motte and bailey commentors here. The WSJ cravenly lets the most hated corporations write featured Op-eds and that's normal? Ho-hum? Business as usual!?<p>We need to seriously reconsider what we want out of journalism. I don't want to live anywhere where this sort of media is okay. I'm not sure why anyone else is suddenly okay with this either. The "Free Market" was supposed to be a tool to more efficiently organize labor and capital, not <i>enslave us</i>. It is supposed to work <i>for us</i>, it is <i>our tool</i>. But if <i>readers</i> are now _okay_ with <i>literal</i> shilling in media, then that's it. We've been captured by our own tools, slaves to our own machines.<p>I keep questioning my decision to have a Washington Post subscription, but I'll sleep better tonight knowing it goes towards something that at least _tries_ to be journalism.
