Pro-Wal-Mart blogs fake
Wal-Mart blogs revealed to be done by PR firm’s employees - Oct. 20, 2006
October 20 2006: 11:44 AM EDTNEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — A public relations firm has revealed that it is behind two blogs that previously appeared to be created by independent supporters of Wal-Mart.
The blogs Working Families for Wal-mart and subsidiary site Paid Critics are written by three employees of PR firm Edelman, for whom Wal-Mart is a paid client, according to information posted on the sites Thursday.
Before Thursday, the authors of the blogs were not disclosed. But Web critics had been skeptical of claims that the blogs were grass-roots efforts, and pushed for greater transparency.
I think this speaks for itself. They don’t care how they get their support or even if they really have support as long as they have the illusion of support, which they will make at all costs.
