A Few Questions About Last Night's "Net Neutrality" Event

Last night, there was a "Townhall listening session" on government takeover of the internet and media as we know it. Sounds more like a rally and a very staged one at that. A few of questions about the show last night.

1. Who funds Free Press?
2. Who paid for two Federal Regulators to attend?
3. Who funds the raft of "Community Organizers" who provided "testimony"?
4. Are they all funded by essentially the same source? If so, they testimony was purchased?
5. Did Special Interests with a stake in the event fund the travel of the FCC Commissioners?
6. Did the Taxpayers fund the travel of the FCC Commissioners? If so, why was the panel stacked and why would they not take questions?
7. Why did Franken put out a fundraising pitch around this if it was an FCC Townhall? Is that ethical?
8. Why did Franken and Ritchie leave so quickly? Was it because there were people there who were going to ask them tough questions?

Just askin'.

Closing thought. If the business community, or a church held that kind of event with those sort of policy makers, there would likely be calls for investigations.  But we have no idea where the money trail leads or starts. Someone with more time and resources than me should look into this.
