Nice new resource to combat astroturfing efforts

I've posted on "astroturfing" at least a few times yet I'll send you here for some background. Follow the links and you'll do fine. To expose the way some groups are clearly astroturf rather than grassroots takes some work. Here are the basics on this new tool:

Full Frontal Scrutiny is a joint venture between Consumer Reports WebWatch and the Center for Media and Democracy, two non-profit organizations whose mission includes consumer education using investigative reporting. This Web site seeks to expose front groups, which are organizations that state a particular agenda, while hiding or obscuring their identity, membership or sponsorship, or all three.

I've added Full Frontal Scrutiny to my sidebar. Information is power. John Gunn
