bad link?

so there is this link to "...the FCC's effort to gut the video franchise system"

the first sentence of which says...
"...phone company lobbyists couldn't sell 'franchise reform' on the federal level"...

You need to read the whole sentence...
"on the federal level via Ted Stevens".
Pretty bad when the guy being nailed for corruption won't take up a well funded lobby effort in Congress, but the FCC still will.

I read the whole sentence, and the whole news item, which was about state laws, not the FCC. Although, the link incorrectly references that the FCC "gutted" the video franchise system, there is nothing to back it up. In fact, that part says the opposite of the assertion. I thought it was a linking error, but maybe its just a misrepresentation.

This would have been a better link:
»Cities Say FCC Dishonest About Franchise Issues
It's a link inside the link put up there.
