Here are the first paragraphs of an article in today's WIRED NEWS. An example of a real liberal criticizing a closet conservative liberal. wired.com Hey Al, Where's the Competition? by Ralph Nader 3:00 a.m. Oct. 9, 2000 PDT (Editor's Note: This week, Wired News is hosting a debate between Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader and Al Gore advisor Reed Hundt, former chairman of the FCC during the Clinton-Gore administration. The topic is technology policy. The other campaigns will have a chance to respond later in the week.) Over the past eight years, Vice President Al Gore has been portrayed as the key member of the administration for a wide range of information policy issues. While the vice president has been unfairly criticized for overstating his role in the development of the Internet, he has not received enough recognition for the fundamental shortcomings of the administration's policies. If there is a single overarching criticism of telecommunications policy, it is that the administration has rarely been willing to fight entrenched corporate entities on core public interest concerns, except in those cases where there was countervailing corporate power on the other side of a dispute. There are exceptions to this, of course, as I'm sure that Mr. Hundt will point out. But as a general observation, this is a fair criticism.
