Reporting from Yearly Kos

David Weigel | August 2, 2007

I'm at the Yearly Kos convention today through Saturday and will be blogging it here and at the Economist's Democracy in America blog.

The first thing I saw was a panel on fighting back against the media: Basically, screwing Fox News. The panel and the plugged-in crowd crowed about getting advertisers to pull out of The O'Reilly Factor, and one blogger claimed to have sent 3500 e-mail to companies. Remember JetBlue!

At the end of the panel someone asked what the panelists will do to scuttle Rupert Murdoch's new business channel. Matt Stoller, the activist blogger who owned the Net Neutrality debate, holds up a flyer for an upcoming event with Federal Communitions Commission Commissioner Michael Copps. That got a knowing chuckle from the room.

Next: Macaca. Yes, him.

Darn it I hate it too when people watch a TV network that I don't. Rather than change peoples' minds, we must go after the network!

Fox News is biased but the Big Three, CNN, et al are just mainstream. Like Dan Rather.

The leader of the Net Neutrality movement was at Yearly Kos? It didn't take long for him to provide people with ammunition to question his neutrality.

Just as there is nothing fair about the Fairness Doctrine there is nothing neutral about Net Neutrality.
