'Dems promised to restore' netneutrality, 'and they've so far failed to do so by caving to industry pressure and slow-walking' Gigi Sohn's nomination to the FCC, says fightfortheftr's evan_greer.

the FOP's"not-at-all-scientific poll" as well as the"grotesque campaign" by telecom giants to"spread harmful gibberish in a bid to either flip or provide flimsy justification" for right-wing Democratic senators opposing her nomination.The Biden team isn't faultless here either. It took the Biden administration nine months to even nominate Sohn, giving the telecom industry… ample time to galvanize opposition.

Which, in turn, is fairly reflective of how the federal government doesn't really take stuff like telecom monopolization and telecom consolidation seriously, especially in an era where"Big Tech" has sucked all the oxygen out of the D.C. policy room. And again, this is all occurring in an era when D.C. pretends to be interested in"bipartisan antitrust reform," revealing the hollowness of the gambit.

"The phony appeal of authoritarianism can only be defeated if the [Democratic National Committee] shakes off corruption and truly represents the public interest," Bode added."You don't accomplish this by letting a hugely popular media and telecom reformer drown under unopposed GOP/telecom propaganda attacks."
