Bye-Bye Net Neutrality
 
On the heels of their acquisition of DirecTV, AT&T is buying Time Warner for $85.4 billion. This comes about a year and a half after Comcast tried to buy TW for about half as much money ($45.2 billion). DoJ shot that one down. I wonder what a Clinton DoJ will do.

Loretta will go after those corporate fascists.

Perhaps, assuming she ends up staying on as AG. No decision on this will be made by the outgoing administration.

Internet chatter indicates she has a good chance of getting the nod. A conspiracy theorist might call it a payoff.

Bernie is against the merger, but does he carry much weight?

I doubt he was consulted.

I think we could do without both the merger and the FCC's net neutrality rules.

If the FCC formulated them they are anything but neutral.
