Incorrect Fox News Headline Draws Even More Attention to Burger King's Pro-Net Neutrality Viral Video

"The Internet freedom advocacy group Fight for the Future was among the many online observers who attempted to draw Fox News' attention to a significant mistake in its online headline about a video made by Burger King that went viral on Thursday. The headline was referring to an advertisement in which Burger King waded into the net neutrality debate—one that remains confusing to many Americans—by using the fast food chain's Whopper hamburgers to illustrate the "fast lanes" and "slow lanes" that critics warn will be forced upon internet users following the FCC's decision last month to repeal of net neutrality rules.  The video is not "slamming" net neutrality, but rather gives viewers a sense of what would happen to their ability to use the Internet as they're accustomed to using it, following the FCC's vote in December."
