Since otherwise reputable sources are running articles suggesting that CISPA is "the worst bill since SOPA" and "a power grab by the content industry" and "a backdoor warrantless wiretap" and "a mechanism by which the feds will read our email", I respectfully disagree with you about the utility of refuting uninformed criticism of the bill. Most of the criticism of the bill is uninformed.
I've already stipulated that some articles are ill-informed or even wrong. Sadly not everyone who writes about legislation reads it first. But some of us do. :)
