This book blows the lid off of "expert opinion" and "research" in
America. While many recognize the threat from the big corporations, it
remained for Stauber and Rampton to show that scientists and experts are
often eager to sell their lab coats to the highest bidder. When you hear
about some new research, what may be happening is that mega-corporation "A"
hired PR firm "B", which hired expert "C" to fake some research. Then "B"
organizes some astroturf pseudo-activists "D", to spin the results to the
media "E", or better yet, "E" just runs the video feeds produced by "B" on
the evening news, pretending that it's a story. This all translates into
more profits for "A" through "E", while We the People get "F*****".
