That was an editorial, so it doesn't have to be objective. What it does show is the institutional bias towards the environmental movement. I saw lots of grassroots work against the MLPA. Many hard-working fishermen taking time off from their jobs to have their voices heard. That's not astroturfing. Maybe the douchebag who wrote that piece of garbage should have looked more closely at the pro-MLPA crowd. Clueless school kids bussed in to act as props, paid environmental activists and lawyers who live off of enviro-lawsuits is what he would have seen if he had opened his damn eyes. The Packard Foundation buys their own private government agency and that is OK for this tool, but we get help from a lobbying group and its astroturfing? F**k him.
