http://www.prwatch.org/nofakenews
PR Watch specializes in blowing the lid off today's multi-billion dollar
propaganda-for-hire industry, naming names and revealing how public
relations wizards concoct and spin the news, organize phony 'grassroots'
front groups, spy on citizens, and conspire with lobbyists and politicians
to thwart democracy. It exposes the hidden activities of secretive,
little-known mega-firms such as Hill & Knowlton, Burson-Marsteller
and Ketchum PR--the "invisible men" who control our political
debates and public opinion, twisting reality and protecting the powerful
from scrutiny.
