In this talk by Sal Khan he uses CNN as an example of a site that would be under scrutiny from the legislation, but we still hear no objections from the major news outlets. Why? Because this would ensure a continuance of business as usual. A while back mk posted this http://hubski.com/pub?id=5740 about Anderson Coopers report on reddit. In the comments I asked whether CNN may have done this piece because they feel threatened by crowd sourced media? Something I think they should feel threatened by. (accountability is a bitch).

This legislation wouldn't touch their websites but the aggregators out there would be fiznucked.

We cannot let it come to that. We can't!
