Right, and the first thing I noticed was the false equivalency between "poor" 
and "unserved', and I can't comprehend why they're reaching that conclusion.

Having just distributed flyers for our new build in an unserved area, I can say 
that while you do have a few double wides parked on lot you also have some 
really swanky houses located in the woods.  They're there for the view, not 
because they're poor.

WISPA’s position was that money should not be spent upgrading people from 10/1

The article mis-represents this as the evil, greedy ISPs saying poor people 
shouldn’t get anything more than 10/1.

I didn’t think the article was terrible but the headline did not match the 
content.  

 

I learned a new term of art yesterday “outrage curator”.  

Many clickbait and news outlets craft articles to maximize outrage.  

Be nice when this phase of American History has passed... I think... it’s gotta 
blow over... right?
