Step 1: Hire away the ex-commissioner of the FCC to represent your lobbyist group. I'm sure this possibility was never discussed *while* he was commissioner of the FCC.
Step 2: Get him to go on CNBC and trash current FCC plan.
Step 3: Somehow get CNBC.com to create a clickbait headline that has very little to do with the actual article, but is guaranteed to rile up anyone who doesn't like Obama. http://www.cnbc.com/id/102450337
Step 4: Link the article on the top page of drudge, along with a bunch of other articles bashing net neutrality. I wonder how much those cost? Is this really a hot-button issue for conservatives?
Step 5: Sit back and watch as dozens of unpaid internet trolls come over from drudge to gunk up the otherwise usually fairly sober CNBC.com comment stream (read the comments on the article).
Chiefsplanet is all riled up about net neutrality today even though their level of understanding on it is basically zero. Awesome.
