Unmoderated Tag: Politics Rating: Ok Hits: 327 Comments: 1 Will Net Neutrality Save the Internet? Will Net Neutrality Save the Internet? Advocates say that "Net Neutrality" will "save the Internet." But does the Internet need saving? Net Neutrality is a proposed set of regulatory powers that would grant the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the ability to control how Internet service providers (ISPs) package their services. Proponents argue that such rules are necessary to ensure that ISPs treat all data on the Internet equally and don't slow or even restrict access to various websites and other parts of the Internet. However well-intentioned, the practical effect will be to limit consumer choice and grant the federal government unprecedented power over the Internet, all in the name of fixing a problem that doesn't exist in any meaningful way (http://reason.com/blog/2010/02/24/recently-at-reasontv-net-neutr). Indeed, examples of the behavior that Net Neutrality will combat are few and far between. Approximately 4 minutes. Produced and animated by Austin Bragg. Written by Zach Weissmueller.

Headline Tag: Politics Rating: Good Hits: 1309 Comments: 16 3 Reasons The FCC Shouldn't 3 Reasons The FCC Shouldn't "Touch" The Internets The FCC has just taken initial steps to regulate the Internet service providers the same way it regulates telephone companies. Although Chairman Julius Genachowski has said he would use any regulatory powers with a "light touch," having the FCC control any aspect of the Internet is a really bad idea for at least three reasons.

Headline Tag: Television Rating: Amazing Hits: 1945 Comments: 6 All in the Family: Family Viewing Hour All in the Family: Family Viewing Hour Backstory: The Family Viewing Hour, which was in effect from 1975 thru 1977, was mandated by the FCC to have the networks show ONLY family-friendly programming from 8 to 9 PM ET, since there was too much sex and violence on the tube during those hours.. (This ruling was rescinded two years later, in 1977.) This ruling forced Norman Lear, creator of "All in the Family," to move the show from its 8 PM Sat. time slot to 9 PM on Monday nights. The cast of "All in the Family" did a little in-house "tribute" to the Family Viewing our, with their new "1975 version" of the show's opening theme song...and here it is! This clip never aired, it was only performed live before a studio audience. User: spam_vigilante Jun 30, 2009 4:35 AM
Permanent Tag: Television Rating: Good Hits: 1046 Comments: 0 Fox News Likes YouTube Censorship? Fox News Likes YouTube Censorship? On Fox News, Bill O'Reilly and Amanda Carpenter were more than happy to report on the new restrictions on YouTube, though without reporting on the the changes in profanity rules that are proving most controversial. Meanwhile, Fox Television, joined by other broadcast networks, is fighting all the way to the US Supreme Court to protect their right to broadcast profanity. The short clip I used from "The O'Reilly Factor" was broadcast on Fox News on December 10, 2008. The oral argument in Fox Television v FCC in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals from which I took two short clips for my video was originally broadcast on C-SPAN on December 20, 2006 and is available in full on the C-SPAN video archive online at http://www.c-spanarchives.org/library/index.php?main_page=product_video_info&products;_id=195903-1 User: TheNextDylan Dec 19, 2008 12:13 AM
