Al Franken's Warning On Net Neutrality

An anonymous reader writes "Democratic Sen. Al Franken weighed in on Net Neutrality over the weekend at the Netroots Nation conference of liberal activists in Las Vegas, calling it 'the First Amendment issue of our time,' and warning against Republican plans for less regulation. More from a blog post on CBSNews.com: 'Speculating on what the Internet could morph into under the Republicans' preferred lack of regulation, Franken asked the audience of bloggers how long it would take before the Fox News website loads significantly more quickly than the Daily Kos website. "If you want to protect the free flow of information in this country, you have to help me fight this," he said.'"

That's not what reverse discrimination is. That would be unduely favouring a minority, such as hiring a completely unskilled person for a skilled position, just because she was a woman, or he was black, and you had qualified people who weren't in a minority applying for the position.

I get you were probably trying to be funny, but next time, don't abuse a poor term so in your attempt.
