The ARRL has praised new FCC Chair Ajit Pai for his support of HR 555, ignoring both Pai's opposition to the more important issue of net neutrality and his boss's (and, I assume, his own) desire/intention of eliminating the agency entirely.

I don't read it that way.

It's simply a news item about Pai and his support for the bill. His support was not just for HR 555 but for other (unnamed) related legislation as well.

I don't take that as praise of Pai. Just a statement of one of his positions. One that is important for us to be aware of.

... and I'm no fan of his, both for his stance on net neutrality, and because of the Hair's position vis a vis the FCC.

Just give it a minute. Cheeto will sign an executive order shutting down ham radio and auctioning off the spectrum.

The ARRL knows who butters its bread.
