California, Montana, New York and New Mexico Structure Legislation to Reinstate Net Neutrality Regulation
Executive Orders Shift Power from the Federal to State Government On December 14, 2017 the F.C.C. voted to temporarily remove the regulations regarding Net Neutrality.

California, Montana, New York and New Mexico are currently building legislation that would take the regulations of Net Neutrality into their own hands. Out of these states California is the closest to passing legislation following the
Netflix and Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee Defies Political Correctness
How to Balance Entertainment and Respect Jerry Seinfeld is returning to Netflix with his latest season of Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee. As we age, our verbal and psychological filter becomes less and less. We tend to lose apathy and empathy for those that have been through emotional and psychological issues. With the rise of the #MeToo movement, I find a lot of the guests highlighted in this trailer for the latest season to be distasteful. As a male that can see the pain that sexual abuse can cause, I question Seinfeld's use of guests on his show. I also

Are You Sick of One-Sided News Reporting? The federal government on Friday was unable to come to an agreement on the budget, and forced a temporary shutdown. Both Republicans and Democrats have noted that they will work over the weekend to reach an agreement. We have went through both sides of this political argument, and have produced a breakdown of each point of view to provide a well-balanced article on this subject. In 2013, the federal government was shutdown for 16 days. The only way for our country to make progress is by stop blaming one another for problems, and
Facebook News Ranking Makes A Mockery of Journalism
Algorithms and Ranking News Based On Popularity Is Not Healthy for Consumers Facebook announced today their plans to change the ranking of news stories to prioritize them based on trustworthy value of the publisher. As a journalist that works hard on providing accurate news on the Web, I can see from a distance the problems and issues that will take place with this new concept. The last presidential election was heavily influenced by advertising misinformation on Facebook. That will only increase with these new plans. In reality, journalism is not a popularity contest with the outlet that has the most

A New Political Hero Emerges from Maine known as Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) Which Republican Senator will be the next hero?

The process of overturning the repeal with Net Neutrality will have to obtain one more vote from the Senate, pass through Congress, and if it makes it to the desk of President Trump, there is a strong chance he will veto the reinstatement of Net Neutrality. That being said, it will put the blame of removing
Florida Is Dropped from the Offshore Drilling Plan and Other Coastal States Become Outraged
The Trump Administration May Win Votes In Florida, But the GOP Overall May Lose Votes In South Carolina, California, Maryland and Massachusetts with Offshore Drilling Plans The Trump Administration has removed Florida from the states that is projected to allow offshore drilling. After that decision was made, a large backlash of coastal states all over the country inquired why only Florida was removed. This sparks an even deeper environmental debate on the safety of offshore drilling. If it is safe off the coast of South Carolina, why is it not safe in Florida. Senators in 12 different states are seeking
A 30th Co-Sponsor from the Senate Confirms a Vote to Reinstate Net Neutrality
The Senate Gains Support to Reinstate Net Neutrality Under the Congressional Review Act Net Neutrality is not dead, but it is currently in a legal battle. That legal battle now extends past the private sector and will be analyzed by Congress with the Congressional Review Act. If only Trump's Fake News Awards would include the mainstream media's misuse of the wording 'killed/dead' to describe the regulations of Net Neutrality. In reality, he will only focus on the recent moments where fake news has made his administration look unprofessional. In regards to Net Neutrality being reinstated, The Hill reported that the Senate
