The outrage is enormous because the public comment period involved massive identity theft and fake comments. The position of the corruption of the comments matched the minority position. That position was echoed in the FCC. Then the guy goes on to crack jokes about how he is doing it for Verizon. Literally cracks jokes. On a stage. In front of an audience. Like corruption is now comedy.

Am I the only one concerned at the "Push button to win vote with spambots" approach that affected both the US presidential election and Net Neutrality? That combined with the millions spent in bribes feels so much like our government is based on voting by bribe dollars, instead of, you know, the citizens who live there.

Yes, sad but true. The President set the precedence.

While Trump is a new level of overt, blatant corruption, joking about it is not his invention. Anyone remember Bush joking at the Press Correspondent's Dinner about those pesky missing WMDs?
