They all but completely eliminated discussion of political topics and any criticism of the status quo.

I don't think the FCC are nearly as bad as you claim they are... if they were on top of their shit Glenn Beck and others of his ilk would have taken a permanent vacation from the airwaves some time ago. Granted I have my own grievances with the FCC but when these far right wingnuts are able to broadcast seditious rhetoric daily without the slightest fear of reprimand you can't really argue that they are heavy handed toward either side when it comes to regulation.

What do you think will happen to discussion of political topics when the internet is only open to those who pony up the extra $$$ for unrestricted access? Isn't the so called "tea party/Ron Paul Revolution/9-12 project Glenn Beck Tyte Yo/John Birch Society" movement supposed to be about grassroots and the power of the internet to organize? Remember that the ISP's will be working out deals with the so called "liberal media" that will effect what sites you can access.

I really don't understand why conservatives are against Net Neutrality... they always baselessly claim to be disenfranchised by the media and then when the people of America really are about to get disenfranchised, they are all in favor of it.
