kudos:1 | A consumer group to watch out for this stuff? DSLR has been good about keeping tabs on the shilling (at least in the technology space) but what about big pharma and the rest?
Maybe there needs to be an advocacy group whose mission is to keep tabs on this stuff and to put pressure on the groups that are shilling.

The site caters to the broadband, wireless, and related industries. I don't see much of a reason to keep tabs on other very unrelated industries. Perhaps you could start MedicineReports.com or DrugReports.com... |

As soon as some true motivation pops up for "consumer shilling", then the playing field can level out. Don't count on that happening though  |

The USSR will support consumer shilling websites for a glorious people's revolution in the USA. |

This is part of the larger issue of big powers masquerading as Grass Roots. It is a major force for deceit, usurpation, and disenfranchisement of the general populace. And it's not just big corporations. Take for instance the far-right pretending to represent the Republican mainstream. |
