Anti-Net Neutrality Astroturfer Exposed

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Ever wonder about all those groups claiming Google had a 'search monopoly' (as if there are no other search engines), or worse, coming out against Net Neutrality? CNet has a story about a shady DC lobbying group called LawMedia Group, being paid by Microsoft and Comcast, that is behind many of these attacks. That said, it's a mystery why they weren't able to pay more authoritative groups than the American Corn Growers Association or the League of Rural Voters to weigh in on technical matters. As a computer geek from corn country, I wouldn't solicit their opinion on tractor repair, let alone Internet policy."

    just see how big microsoft is about matters of freedom related to technical issues and the internet ?

    apparently while they were filling the ground at oscon, showing a brave face, their paid cronies were attacking internet freedom in an other front.

    what do you microsoft fanbois have to say about this, we really would like to hear.
