Journalists shopped around for the most hysterical assessment - and attention seekers who didn't have your good ethics - accommodated. Then, reasonable and science-based assessments were ignored and eventually got marginalized. Now you've seen this first hand, with a different topic. I'm wondering if you would have called this history lesson a "conspiracy theory" if I had mentioned this yesterday? Correct? --Rob McEwenOn 12/16/2017 9:28 AM, Dave Farber wrote: I was asked to be interviewed this morning to talk about “network neutrality”. It was clear to me that the interviewer really wanted horror stories about what the changes would do!! As I have said often this is become a public relations activity trying to hide facts under hype and headlines. The interviewer resisted mightily any attempt to really address in the underlieing issues. Maybe it is time to have an open and noisy panel of technically aware people really debating the facts rather than the noise ( remember the Cerf/Farber “Great Debate” on Net Neuttrality” many years ago Dave-- Rob McEwen https://www.invaluement.com +1 (478) 475-9032 This message was sent to the list address and trashed, but can be found online.
