I'm shocked and ashamed that California's own Feinstein appears on this list.
- mseebach 16y agoEspecially since that state is particularly known for its hostility towards the content industry.
- dskhatri 16y agoWhy are you shocked? The entertainment industry is centered in Los Angeles.

- joeybaker 16y agoNot only that, but Feinstein is ostensibly the Senator of Silicon Valley, and should know better.
- _delirium 16y agoShe's also the Senator of Hollywood, though, and traditionally the LA-based media industry has had more clout in California politics than the Bay-Area-based tech industry has.
- flyt 16y agoWe should change this.
- joeybaker 16y agoTechnically true, but Feinstein is from NorCal (San Francisco) Boxer is from SoCal (near Riverside). In a big state like CA, there's a bit of an unofficial division of loyalties.
- chc 16y agoYes, but it's unofficial enough that a little bit of money can easily reverse it. In practice, state officials will act like the unions' whores and national officials will be cozy with whoever chose to spend time and money on them.
- WildUtah 16y agoFeinstein has long been known as a censor, an opponent of civil rights and human rights, an open shill for industry, an advocate of unnecessary war, a proponent of police and government against the Bill of Rights and privacy, and generally opposed to the individual or small business whenever government and powerful institutions can be privileged instead. I wonder often why California insists on keeping her. She almost always votes right on the environment and reproductive rights, I guess. You folks could do a lot better, though.
- akozak 16y agoLet's be clear which industry though, because clearly Internet services are now an industry in themselves.
- patrickgzill 16y agoMaybe you should read up on her, including who her husband has been since 1980. Perhaps then you would be less shocked - hint: hubby does not divide his time between helping widows and orphans, and petting puppies and kittens...
- swaits 16y agoI'm shocked and ashamed that anyone would be shocked and ashamed at Feinstein's support of this. Have you been paying attention?
