Being we've had foreign governments messing with our democracy using social media and hacking, this should be fully investigated. I'm not claiming they are interfering, only saying we should rule out the possibility using our best forensics.

It should be treated as openly hostile to the interests of the general public.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Except these laws already apply to every other form of media and they aren't being used to silence whistleblowers or political opposition. The sky is not falling.
"Every other form of media" is not the same as the media on the internet, where individuals create the media. More importantly, why would you want the federal government to have such abusable power? The sky may not be falling now, but that is no excuse to do nothing while our freedoms are eroded.
Can we acknowledge we live in a dystopian era yet? What further has to happen?

I don’t know why we have to point fingers abroad, when there is so much incentive at home to fudge these results from the telecom companies about to be deregulated.
It's a political gambit.
In the end this should not matter, FCC is not running a vote. If they count pro /against this way then it's their problem. Arguments should be the only deciding factor.

I'm partial to Five Card Draw. The street, not the game. Now how do I get dead people to vote for things I want?

Drill down to find a list of firms who can recruit dead people and random special interests (see here from some of the interest groups who will rent you their outrage: http://stopthecap.com/2009/10/02/special-report-astroturf-ov... ).
Handily enough, you also get an idea of what it costs right on Open Secrets. I wish medical price lists were this easy, and I bet there are some dead people who think so, too.
