RedState: Uniguest Needs a Better Explanation for Why Conservative Sites Are Being Blocked

By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | July 2nd, 2014 at 09:44 AM

James Varney of the Times-Picayune in New Orleans, stayed at the Hyatt Place hotel in Riverhead, NY. He tried to look at the Drudge Report, but was blocked from doing so by his hotel’s internet connection.

 

In fact, he tried looking at a number of conservative websites, including Powerline and Instapundit. They too were blocked. He then tried a number of liberal websites from Talking Points Memo to DailyKos. None of them had access problems.

 

His hotel, Hyatt Place, uses Uniguest to connect its guests to the internet.

 

Digging deeper, I contacted the good people of Uniguest. A cheery online chatter at their corporate website praised my question as a very good one, asked for my e-mail so he could run it up the corporate flagpole and I await that response.
