Net Neutrality Is 'Marxist,' According to This Koch-Backed Astroturf Group

(Vice Motherboard): http://motherboard.vice.com/read/net-neutrality-is-marxist-according-to-this-koch-backed-astroturf-group

     A mysterious conservative group with strong ties to the Koch brothers
     has been bombarding inboxes with emails filled with disinformation and
     fearmongering in an attempt to start a "grassroots" campaign to kill
     net neutrality--at one point suggesting that "Marxists" think that
     preserving net neutrality is a good idea.  The emails, which come with
     subject lines like "Stop Obama's federal Internet takeover," come from
     American Commitment, an organization that is nonprofit in name only
     and has been called out time and time again by journalists and
     transparency organizations for obscuring where it gets its funding.

Koch brothers. Enough said.
