| What about truth in advertising?
When I opened The Washington Post this morning I was greeted by a flashing ad for Broadband Everywhere.

Advertising on the Post webpage, slick TV ads ... looks grass roots to me.
They want the "Phoneys" to stop looking for sweetheart deals and get out in the marketplace and compete. Of course this means compete for each local franchise.
The truth should see a real bashing as this battle play out. We all know how both only have their customer's interest at heart. Enjoy the show. |

Broadband Everywhere's founding organizations are the American Cable Association and nearly 15 small cable operators, the Hispanic Federation, the National Congress of Black Women, and the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA).
I think one of the most insidious things is how these PR groups hijack minority or elderly groups to try and sound legitimate as they push agendas that usually don't even remotely benefit said groups.
One of my favorites is the "Keep USF Fair Alliance", which litters the site with images of handicapped individuals and minorities. In reality, these groups have been hi-jacked and co-opted by PR outfits like Issue Dynamics, who have been hired to shape public opinion.
