"Clear Skies" and "Healthy Forests" come to mind - more accurate descriptions would be "Dirty Skies" and "Slashed Forests." Perhaps "Handsoff" would be more accurately styled "Ripoff."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27627502.post-30319620865093911162006-10-18T19:55:00.000-07:002006-10-18T19:55:00.000-07:00SourceWatch has a bit more on handsoff, which it d...SourceWatch has a bit more on handsoff, which it describes as a classic "astroturf" organization.<br /><br />http://tinyurl.com/yepbloAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27627502.post-66377268981367103052006-10-18T17:47:00.000-07:002006-10-18T17:47:00.000-07:00Dear "Hands Off",

I read the story you linked and its conclusion is Moyers' stance is one of 'hands off' the internet. The follwing is from the B&C article:<br /><br /><br />The show's take on network neutrality would appear to align with that general philosophy, given this excerpt from WNET's description of it:<br /><br />"Big corporations are lobbying Washington to turn the gateway to the Web into a toll road. Yet the public knows little about what's happening behind closed doors where the future of democracy's newest forum is being decided.If a few mega media giants own the content and control the delivery of radio, television, telephone services and the Internet, they'll make a killing and citizens will pay for it."<br /> ..................<br /><br />The link you left for your organization does not work, I have taken the liberty of reposting it here: <a href="http://handsoff.org/">HandsOff.org</a><br /><br />And I've provided a <a href="http://handsoff.org/hoti_docs/aboutus/members.shtml">link</a> to the organizations that are part of your coalition.
