They did manage to keep the Broadcast Flag Amenedment
So not only did they remove any pretense at defending net neutrality, they supported a horrid amendment by the Media ****** in our legislators to allow the FCC to implement and enforce the Broadcast flags. Sick, sick, sick! When will some members of Congress stop prostituting themselves to the media industry?
