I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Ever wonder about all those groups claiming Google had a 'search monopoly' as if there are no other search engines, or worse, coming out against Net Neutrality? C-Net has a story about how a shady DC lobbying group called LawMedia Group that's being paid by Microsoft and Comcast is behind many of these attacks. That said, it's a mystery why they weren't able to pay more authoritative groups than The American Corn Growers Association or the League of Rural Voters to weigh in on technical matters. As a computer geek from corn country, I wouldn't solicit their opinion on tractor repair, let alone Internet policy."
