Can you compare national park entrance fees to the debate over net neutrality?/NPS
Are net neutrality, burgers, and national parks related? If you've been following the debate over whether Internet access should be equal and free for all, or doled out to the highest bidders and most affluent users, then the following video that boils those concepts down to selling hamburgers likely can be equated to pricing schemes for national park entrance fees.

Brilliant.
A demonstration of a total ignorance of "net neutrality".
For a better understanding check out this interview with a former FCC Chairman:

How about citing a source that does not have a well-deserved reputation for fake news?
The Daily Caller is an American news and opinion website based in Washington, D.C.. It was founded by Tucker Carlson, a libertarian conservative political pundit, and Neil Patel, former adviser to former Vice President Dick Cheney. The Daily Caller produces sensational headlines and has a right wing bias in reporting and has made repeated false claims according to Snopes and Politifact.
Lee, I believe the interview EC provided was on NBC news. . . The Daily Caller I do not read, but I hardly think it is being "sensational" to cite an established source. In my writing, I follow the citations wherever they lead me--and then make up my own mind.
All I know is that watching both videos left me with more questions than answers. The distortion in the first was blatant. I hardly think that comparing $4 hamburgers to $25 hamburgers explains net neutrality, unless they are being sold at the Ahwahnee Hotel. There the Park Service itself hardly insists on "neutrality." Either you can afford it or you don't get to stay.
Lee - its a live interview with the former Chairman. You don't get any better source than that.
Watching the video and comparing the headline from the daily caller left me thinking the headline was not an accurate reflection of what I saw in the video. Couple that with the well deserved reputation of the daily caller and I think I my conclusion was appropriate. Readers need to look at other headlines and claims made by that site. Then try fact checking some of them.
