Urban League parrots telecom donors' network neutrality stance

[Commentary] Critics say National Urban League President Marc Moria's decision to support Comcast on the issue of network neutrality had more to do with money and relationships than with Internet policy. It turns out that Comcast’s David Cohen has sat on the Urban League’s board of trustees since 2008. In addition, the Comcast Foundation, headed by Cohen, gave the National Urban League and some of its more than 100 affiliates almost $2 million from 2012 to 2013. The Urban League says Cohen’s position and the donations from the foundation have had no bearing on its position on the network neutrality issue.
