You are hereFreePress Continues to Divide Not Unite
Submitted by Scott Cleland on Wed, 2011-04-20 12:30
FreePress' campaign director, Tim Karr, continues to overuse its main political tactic of demonizing anyone that disagrees with FreePress' goal of ridding the world of free market capitalism and property ownership. FreePress' play book is all about the politicization of issues -- dividing people, not uniting them.
The problem for everyone else, is that FreePress' politicization strategy on net neutrality and mergers largely has set the tone for overall Internet and communications policy making. Simply, FreePress is poisoning the well of the policy making process.
If FreePress was sincere in wanting to "Save the Internet," and not advancing its anti-business, anti-property agenda, it wouldn't be dividing the Nation over Internet policy, but trying to unite it. The Internet policy mess we are in, where a majority of the U.S. House of Representatives, voted 240-179 against the FCC's controversial Open Internet rules, and the Senate has the potential to do so this summer, is an ominious proof point that -- FreePress' multi-year campaign to preemptively regulate the Internet based on its bogus demonization threat -- has divided the Nation not united it.
