Big Cable push-polled America on Net Neutrality, still found the majority in favor of it

As Donald Trump’s FCC gets set to kill Net Neutrality, lobbyists for the country’s telcos and cable operators are tucking in their napkins and picking up their cutlery, getting ready to feast.

As a way of hastening along the neutracidal moment, the Internet & Television Association (AKA National Cable Television Association) conducted a push-poll asking Americans if they wanted Net Neutrality killed right now, or straightaway (more or less).

But even within the shitty, stilted choices the poll offered, Americans still spoke overwhelmingly in favor of Net Neutrality, leaving Big Cable to desperately spin the outcomes to claim that Americans really wanted to have their internet connections slowed down unless they were accessing their ISPs’ preferred services.
