Edelmann Behind Two More Walmart Flogs
October 21, 2006 |
Edelman, the PR firm behind the “Wal-Marting Across America” blog is also behind two blogs on Working Families for Wal-Mart.
One blog appears on the home page of Working Families for Wal-Mart, the allegedly grassroots advocacy group formed by Edelman last December, which is “committed to fostering open and honest dialogue…that
conveys the positive contributions of Wal-Mart to working families.” The second blog is on WFWM’s subsidiary site Paid Critics.The Paid Critics blog is devoted to “exposing” links between unions and other vested interests that are “smearing Wal-Mart” through the media. Until yesterday, blog entries on both WFWM and Paid Critics were
uncredited. Thursday, bylines were added to blog posts “in response to comments and emails.”
It is these stories and products like PayPerPost.com that discredit everybody in the blogosphere. We all become suspicious. We all become potentional floggers in the eye of the public.
