Earlier wed been talking about the neutrality network, and Net Neutrality, i thought, was a little catchier. I didnt think it would catch on, but somehow it did. Host the president this week, proofer wu professor wu, spoke about Net Neutrality. Heres what he had to say. Im weighing out a plan to keep the internet free and open, and im urging the fcc to do everything they can to protect Net Neutrality for everyone. They should make it clear whether they use a computer, phone or tablet, internet providers have a legal obligation not to block or edit your limit to a web site. And they cant let any company pay for priority over its competitors. To put these protections in place, im asking the fcc to reclassify Internet Service under title ii of a law known as the telecommunications act. In plain english, im asking them to recognize that for most more thans the internet has become an essential part of everyday communication and everyday life. Host tim wu, whats your reaction to what the pre
Notify the family that they hillary move will remove her from the ventilator if they have not secured an alternate facility. They said the family will be allowed to stay with her if and when that happens. Just a couple of hours ago some young women from sacramento came by and dropped off these candles , stuffed animal and a card. They say they are supporters of the family. The pastor lead a small group of supporters in prayer. He planned on holding a fundraiser, but that was called off after news a Southern California facility has declined to receive her on a ventilator. We definitely dont want to raise funds for something that is not iron clad. The family is praying their wishes come true. We believe in god for a miracle. Is it coming . Thats completely up to god. A crowd sourcing page to fund the transfer to Southern California has raised 21,000 in two days. And they are still trying to ant options. To my energy to my knowledge it was more than two hours ago. She was declared brain d

Flow of vital information. I agree with your point about whistleblower protections, but there are a range of different motives. There are spy, Robert Hanssen types. No sympathy for that. A lot of people leak because it makes them feel important. They are in the know, and it shows they are in the know. It makes them feel good to do that. I dont have much sympathy for that. I do have sympathy for an actual whistleblower. Were are instances where h have seen for the right reason they have gone to the press and laid out what a disagree with.

In the bill that says that cannot be used to demonstrate harm to National Security. That, to me, is an indication weve got a pretty good shot and if we can get applied to jims case, it would be efficient in keeping him out of jail.

There are at least as many and perhaps more journalist who have been put in jail in civil litigation for money damages arriving out of claims against the u. S. Government. In the win ho lee case several years ago, there were six journalist held in contempt, including journalist from cbs, New York Times, washington post, and ap. One was held in contempt and subject to 5,000 a day penalties that she was not allowed to ask usa today to pay for her. She had an offer from her students to hold a bake sale so she could help pay her contempt fines, which i thought was charming but ineffective. She almost certainly would have been held in contempt and gone to pris
