Wash Post: “No Net Neutrality,” Hides Conflict of Interest

Art Brodsky at Public Knowledge has a great post today assailing the Washington Post’s weekend editorial opposing mandated network neutrality.

The line-by-line refutation is solid, but about halfway through, Brodsky points out that the Post has a big finger in the ISP pie. Through subsidiary Cable ONE, the Post made over $600m in 2007, much of it from the company’s 340,000 cable modem subscribers.

Sadly, the paper fails to disclose this fact in the editorial.
