Some interesting bits of news and buzz are streaking around the tech world this week. I keep hearing that the FCC is all set to punish Comcast in some undisclosed and possibly uninforcable way for its attempts to control Internet bandwidth. Common Cause published Comcast Punished by FCC for Violating Net Neutrality. The article says,

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) met this week at Stanford University to talk about network management or net neutrality. The specific issue was Comcast's well publicized habit of deciding what information makes it through their broadband pipes and what does not.

The media news roundup for this Saturday includes important new rules from the FCC, ownership changes for two of the nation's largest news companies, an appeal from leading women's media advocacy group and a prominent White House correspondent busting a move.

I got whiplash this week keeping track of the blogworthy developments in the media world. In this post, I offer a sampling of the things that got my attention, beginning with former Ambassador, mayor and civil rights icon Andrew Young's comments about why Barack Obama isn't ready to be President.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency is desperately seeking damage control after being exposed when agency staffers posed as reporters at a hastily-arranged press conference on its response to the California wildfires. Condemnation has been swift and broad, and agency officials have apologized for their "error in judgment." Brandey suspects that this episode was actually a "test balloon" for future official fakery.
