Matt Drudge is currently blaring this lead headline: “BILL WOULD GIVE OBAMA 'EMERGENCY' CONTROL OF INTERNET.”

That links to this CNET article. Now, I'll admit I don't know much of anything about the issue. Maybe the article is spot-on. But I do know something about Declan McCullagh, the reporter whose byline appears on the article. He's the guy who started the “Al Gore claimed he invented the Internet” nonsense that helped elect George W. Bush.

So before you get too worried about Drudge's alarmist headline, maybe you should take a deep breath, consider the source -- and wait for a better one.
