74% Oppose Taxing Internet News

[John McKenna]

74% Oppose Taxing Internet News to Help Newspapers.

Those who voted for Obama, please stand up so we can slap you.



Please wake up.

[Gary Farnsworth]

It is truly amazing that it is the younger generation that put this man in the oval office, yet it is their age group that has the highest unemployment. They just do not get it.

[Blaine Wiley]

I think the most disturbing thing is that if 74% oppose taxing the internet, that leaves 26% who either think it is a good idea or don't know...

Mr. Kelley would do well not to make up things without a better understanding of the process.

Introduction and Brief Background
In May 2009, the Federal Trade Commission announced a project to consider the challenges faced by journalism in the Internet age. Now, one year later, staff responsible for this project present this draft for discussion of

1) the tentative conclusions outlined here about the current and likely future environments for news gathering and reporting, and

2) potential policy recommendations to address the issues raised during this proceeding. We note that this draft does not represent final conclusions or recommendations by the Commission or FTC staff; it is solely for purposes of discussion, in particular at FTC roundtable discussions to be held on June 15, 2010, at the National Press Club.1

This document does not necessarily reflect the views of the Commission or of any individual Commissioner. It reflects only the tentative analyses and possible policy recommendations assembled by FTC staff in the Office of Policy Planning.

What you posted is irrelevant.

Get it?

I think we should post "political crap" all over the board just to piss you off. ;_)

[Michael Larson]

Kelley, I was reacting to you snippy attitude. Get it?

Please take you (fake) political crap elsewhere

I think one message board cop is more than enough.

Maybe you could have politely contacted John and asked him to move it. Just sayin'.

There are sections of the message board that were specifically made for this type of "discussion" so that other areas could be used to discuss Home Inspection related topics.

I myself would like to see more people active on the MB myself, and I think some of the acrimonious political discussions do not help that cause.

I realize i have added fuel to this fire by commenting in the first place about this thread and for that I am sorry.

IMO


carry on with your pissing off people campaign, and keep me posted It seems like a sad endeavor though.

At least they stopped posting their photos of naked little boys.

It's no surprise that the "real" message board cop show up and tells more lies.

Do you ever get tired of lying James?

[James H. Bushart]

I thought I was telling the truth when I commented that you guys had stopped posting your naked boy pictures. If that is not true, I was merely mistaken. I did not lie.

Crawl back under your rock where you belong.

You lies are tiresome.

[Tim Spargo]

Why is this here?

It doesn't really serve us well to post political crud and the other "stuff" mentioned in this thread.

[James H. Bushart]

Nope.

You need to bring that up with the mental midget that started the thread....but he's out burning a cross on a front lawn. Try back in a couple of hours.
