Net Neutrality Challenge

A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION
by "Skippy"

I've been blogging a lot about the big blogs who have taken the bogus astro turf anti-net neutrality ads.  I tried to engage some of the bigger ones in conversation about it.  

I refused to take the ad, even tho I'm a part of "advertise liberally."  I have issued a challenge to every blog who carries the ad:  either post a permanent disclaimer (as the agonist or my left wing have done) or donate the ad revenue from that ad to savetheinternet.com (as annatopia and steve gilliard have done).   To put my money where my mouth is, I donated three month's worth of ad revenue at skippy to savetheinternet.com.  

Here's my post about my challenge:

... and here's my post outlining most of my other posts about my don quixote fight to get the ad pulled from the other blogs:

I'm with you 10000% on this.  It's incredibly short sighted to choose short-term profit over long-term problem solving.
