Involvement with SOPA as a Lobbyist

Should this section: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Dodd#Post-senatorial_career include his recent forays with promoting SOPA for industry?

For example he's been caught lying for the MPAA here: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111214/04100017081/chris-dodd-resorting-to-outright-lying-desperate-attempt-to-get-sopa-passed.shtml

Yes, clearly, probably with mention of his voting record. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.164.12.110 (talk) 10:10, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Salon's Greenwald spoke for many in calling Dodd's SOPA pony show "base, corrupted subservience to industry." http://www.courant.com/news/opinion/hc-op-mcenroe-dodds-fall-to-movie-industry-shill-0-20120122,0,3320032.column NO SOPA (talk) 06:27, 21 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is probably worth a mention where Dodd threatens to pull campaign finance funding to Obama and other politicians opposed. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/19/exclusive-hollywood-lobbyist-threatens-to-cut-off-obama-2012-money-over-anti/ --Why is pizza so good?

He also continues to cite 2.2 million as the number of jobs Hollywood employs, which is being disputed as inflated. Recent citation: http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/01/20/idUS28803601820120120 Criticism: http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20111214/16044417088/behind-scenes-how-dc-decided-to-regulate-internet-to-protect-hollywood-innovating.shtml --Why is pizza so good?

This article opens "Chris Dodd is an American lawyer..." Shouldn't this be "Chris Dodd is a douchbag..."? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.115.78 (talk) 22:27, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Biased or unsubstantiated statement about Sen. Christopher Dodd

I was just casually reading the page about retired U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, when I read this sentence:

"Dodd was a notorious alcoholic and serial philanderer, joining fellow New England Irish Catholic Senator Edward Kennedy in well-publicized debauchery and lechery."

If I'm not mistaken, that sentence is contains biased and/or unsubstantiated statement about the Sen. Dodd, and should be removed or backed up with other documents proving that statement.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.49.234.61 (talk) 19:25, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
