The Giant Fighting Robot Report

I am dubious. (I am metal.) I am stainless. I am milk in your plastic.

Does anyone else find this disturbing?

Item the first:
Robert Murdoch is going to buy the company that publishes the Wall Street Journal. Now granted, the opinion section of that paper has always been batshit insane, but now the rest of it is going to match.

Item the second:
The FTC has decided to abandon Net Neutrality. Now granted, there may still be time to save the Internet as we know it, but it's not looking as good as I thought it might.

So the future looks like it's going to look more and more like Fox News. (Though if you blank out the logos in the bottom I usually cannot tell the difference between Fox and CNN right now.)

These two events are bad enough, but combining them in one day seems like a horrible idea. Not that has ever stopped anything from happening before.
