"The attention apparently isn't liked by the New Millennium Research Council, the group responsible for distributing Heartland's "study". This week they pulled information from their website concerning their board of directors. On that list was several names, two of which head groups with strong financial ties to Verizon Communications"
Business as usual for nowadays. Pity . . . . |

| O'Connor, in particular, has been a well-paid Bell shill in California for years, though she will deny it.
Lately, she's been managing to avoid direct cross-examination under oath, but folks are working on this.

| Sallisaw pushing ahead....
None of this negative press is stopping Sallisaw, OK. They are presently rolling out a FTTH project in incremental stages. Our local news has an article here. The cool thing about this is the town is only 4100 people and the town is pretty much middle class, not too many upscale neighborhoods in that town. Also right in the middle of SBC country. Town already runs their own electric and other utilities. Suprising little resistance setting up system far as I know. They already have a independent TV cable system there in town, not Cox or any big guns like that. They just got tired of the bad service according to the news articles (can't quote specifics, but just Google "Sallisaw fiber". |

The anti-Muni article
Not In The Public Interest - The Myth of Municipal Wi-Fi Networks -- Why Municial Schemes to Provide Wi-Fi Broadband Services With Public Funds Are Ill-Advised
NOTE: spelling error is in the original - I just pasted the article title.
I don't have a problem with this sort of opposition research in an of itself. I think it is healthy having "the other side" trying to expose weaknesses.
What bothers me that these papers are presented as objective research rather then as partisan hit pieces.

|  Yet another example of astroturfing
This and other propagandized news releases are nothing
more than Astroturfing,
a practice that the current administration is especially
guilty of. And it seems that large corporations and so-called
but bogus "experts" are full of it - and I mean that in more
ways than one.

Why do you have such a hard time coming to terms with the fact that big telephone doesn't play fair, and are more than happy to BS as much as possible?

said by footballdude :Don't be a coward. If you think Limbaugh is lying about something, call him up and take him on directly. Obviously you haven't paid attention to how his show works. People who have legitimate points, know the facts, and can articulate them well are carefully screened from being allowed to get on the air. When it comes to opposing viewpoints and political positions, what Rush screeners wait for are people who clearly have their facts wrong or mixed up, or are raving loons or off the wall opposition callers... these calls are put thru so that Rush can destroy them with ease and therefore prove to the auidence he is right and everything he says is true and that they are superior.
The people who could crush him in seconds, show up his distortions or mis-statements, and catch him in his double standards are banned and blocked.... in the rare instances one of them "stealths" their way thru (By pretending to be another ego-stroking fan) they get cut off the air BUT QUICK.
There are a bunch of reports on the internet from people who have tried to get onto his show to debate with him. Their experiences show how his show really works.
