This is what is called "controlled opposition"

  Eh I don't think so. AT&T aren't political ideologues pushing a specific agenda; they just don't care and want money from both sides.

    I agree, it's a "traditional media" version of Facebook trying to increase engagement by enraging both sides of every political debate.

    But ATT execs are too stupid to know how to make money, so they keep pissing it away in these stupid and, in this case, harmful ventures. I have no idea how that C suite continues to be given the liberties they are since they have not made a single smart move since locking up the iPhone to ATT in 2007, and have made multiple boneheaded acquisitions and strategic moves since then. All that money wasted could have been invested in the mobile and fiber networks, from which they could have extracted even higher rents, but they want to let Verizon beat them in that arena and instead play around in Hollywood.

  Or "diversification within a sector."
