Unfortunately it's been years since I can trust any wikipedia article on anything political or social related. Sad thing is these issues now taint topics like games, movies, software. Not being from US makes it even harder to swallow.

I guess it's unavoidable though. Having your ideological group stand on such a popular resource is incredibly powerful propaganda. It's like having millions of dollars lying in the street, you can't expect people not to touch it.

I’m of the opinion that it’s not just ‘like’ money. It is money. Firstly, there are people from ‘community organizations’ that get paid to AstroTurf as their full time job. Secondly, those organizations wouldn’t get funding in the first place if some big company didn’t somehow depend on their political action to maintain their profits.
