So why are you paying attention to him? Trump and Obama got elected because they knew how to get peoples attention. Anglin is playing the same game. He is not a constitutional scholar or a regulatory expert but he gets propped by the attention economy. The attention economy validates his message nothings else. The route in the attention economy to get propped up is to give people what they want to hear. Obama, Trump, the Kardashians, Games of Thrones or Star Wars its all a mordern day version of what religion did back in the day - an opium for the masses. As Tim Wu the coiner of Net Neutrality in his new book the Attention Merchants says - you can slow the spread of the message, you can remove the monetary incentive of the new class opium sellers(who take adv of the speed and scale of social media) or you can dismantle the attention economy, cause its just going to keep propping the best panderers up.
