The Daily Show on Google and Net Neutrality

By pete_gallagher

While public and private interest groups alike have skewered Google's apparent Net Neutrality pact with Verizon, now the search giant has fallen victim to an attack by Comedy Central's The Daily Show

To sum up Jon Stewart's take on the matter, Google has gone from stating that 'Net Neutrality will allow new Googles and Amazons to form,' to 'NET NEUTRALITY WILL ALLOW NEW GOOGLES AND AMAZONS TO FORM!'

More form Stewart, 'Google doesn't get to write laws! They just photograph and post where everybody lives and republish every book ever written and negotiate with the Chinese government while building floating data centers in the ocean.'

Stewart also has a little fun with the protestors who lined up at Google's headquarters to make their voice heard.

Still a little strange to see a former media darling get bashed in the press.
