- Astroturfing. Law Firms Public Relations. Lobiests; No Appologies
-
Lets say you buy into the Business Ethics of a minno. Instead of blogging yourself, you hire lawyers to manipulate the press and silence those who think differently than you do with threats. You may even have the lawyers create or hire Public Relation firms who blog to create the appearance of a ground swell of public support for your way of thinking (this is called Astroturfing). Then you unleash Lobiests.
The above is exactly what Bill Gates and Ballmer did via Preston Gates and Ellis and Abramoff.
The Whole Foods CEO should be proud of his posts. He shows US citizens the way of advancing polite society beyond robber barrons and WTO police riots. I intend to frequent his establishments just because of his patriotism and Web 2.0 ways. But I am concerned about stock manipulation and will pay attention. I just think that is bunk - bad mouthing from minnows (formerly known as sharks, AKA lawyers). - Posted by: mighetto Posted on: 07/18/07 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
