            • Astroturf: it's like "grassroots" organizing, but fake, and it's the new promotion vehicle of choice for corporations with a message. Consumers have long since learned that when a Fortune 500 company shows up at a regulatory hearing and insists that some new plan is "better for consumers," it usually turns out to be better for the company. When a "neutral," non-corporate research and advocacy group pitches the same idea, it can sound a whole lot better. That's why plenty of large companies have founded or sponsored such groups, a fact that gets surprisingly little mention in the media. Bruce Kushnick calls out journalists for their shoddy reporting of such astroturf groups in a new piece in the Nieman Watchdog, a publication of Harvard's Nieman Foundation for Journalism, and illustrates exactly why we need to pay closer attention. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2007/05/laws-for-sale-astroturfing-and-citizen-apathy-on-the-rise.ars - arstechnica by Stylish Translations
