Fox News is the highest rated cable channel on the TV and Glenn Beck is the most popular show on the network...and he is telling people that Net Neutrality is about eliminating Free Speech. I think the Slashdot Nation might take a bit of umbrage at being described as communists by Beck.

"Because the efficient market solution won't work, we're left with inefficient regulatory solutions."

What a load of clap-trap...read this and ignored the rest of the article as it's obvious they don't understand economics.
