New Media Giants Take Out Print Ad Against SOPA

itwbennett writes "Slashdot readers will recall that the SOPA hearings earlier this week 'excluded any witnesses who advocate for civil rights. Google's Katherine Oyama was the only witness to object to the bill in a meaningful way.' So to get the attention of lawmakers, new media giants Google, Facebook, and Zynga turned to the only place they knew that politicians gather daily. They took out a full page ad in the New York Times. The irony of taking out a newspaper ad to protect the Web is certainly lost on no one."

It's not about what OWS is against, it's about what they're for. OWS is a bunch of radical leftists who have nothing but fear and loathing of Middle America. Is it any surprise Middle America doesn't support them?

Let me put it this way: supposing ordinary Americans DID come out in large numbers to support OWS. Who other than Rethuglicans really want People of Wal-Mart on their side? The stench and body lice alone would make Occupiers retch in disgust.
