1. Net neutrality is also under threat from the Senate. We could lose the Senate too.

It's "Senator for Sale" over in the Senate now as the GOP tries to buy a few seats with bribes in chairmanships to take over the Senate. A Manchin staffer says he might switch and a couple of other Democratic senators called "moderates" are being courted.

We are not fighting and we could lose Senate seats even without a new election.

2. Cut off too soon but good to see the opposition's arguments.

That's why I'm glad RT brought in Thom for The Big Picture.

He provides a great service by bringing on leading right wing spokespeople to showcase their vapid arguments and clichés and rebuts them with facts.

Wish there were more of this one. The "free market" (aka Cash Dominated)advocate has just acknowledged that most of us have only one or two providers of access to broadband and somehow we are to have faith that they would forgo their opportunity to increase their profits by creating a tiered broadcast system just because it has been neutral so far?

Sometimes I want the public interest to be placed above "the wisdom of the private sector" a.k.a. quarterly private profits in supreme position.
