It's honest about where it's coming from. The sources we're upset with pretend NOT to have a bias. That's just deceptive. Musing, WMB has identified its worldview.

Let me try it simply. WMB is upset at the bias say in this case AP. To rectify this bias, they set up their own biased news service? :-) A woderful model! :-) Consider that there were alternatives they could have purused, but instead they joined them! :-) TRS post 43,

I thought you a more able thinker than this. World does NOT nor has it ever suggested that its news operations are professionally neutral. AP DOES profess this, or used to do so. AP SHOULD be trying to do this. It is supplying information to the mainstream media which is SUPPOSED to be neutral. Can I explain it to you any clearer?

Net neutrality has nothing whatsoever to do with the neutrality of the <em>content</em> being sent across the network. It doesn't have anything to do with content at all. This isn't a matter of "liberal labeling"—it's just a fact. There are reasonable arguments against net neutrality, but Xion's is certainly not one of them. In fact, many conservative/religious organizations support net neutrality, including <a href="http://www.cc.org/node/55" rel="nofollow">the Christian Coalition</a>. If I remember correctly, Phyllis Schlafly has also been an outspoken supporter of NN laws. I just want to point out that Xion’s description of net neutrality in 32 is patently incorrect.
