Astroturf news and politics are more less the same thing.
All fake - there is nothing genuine about it.
The term is borrowed from astroturf - artificial grass.

The ‘Birthers’ epithet gets thrown around here alot, by those who just *know* Obama was born in Hawaii. Did they drink the astroturf kool-aid?

Astroturing = Media Matters

My wife did this years ago in the music business. Some rich/famous person would get their hack kid a record deal with one phone call.
The label would take the little turd into the studio, have some producer make the record, auto-tune the crap out of the little creeps voice, hire musicians for a photo shoot, then send it down the hall for my wife to make up some backstory about how they had taken Omaha by storm and sold thousands of demos out of the trunk of their car, blah blah blah.
The entire entertainment industry is a lie. All of it.

Good article on the generic propaganda technique astroturfing, but I thought it would mention specific examples of large amounts of money people are donating to these causes right now.
To: markomalley
Wayy too much information without specific examples for context.
Would have been much better as a 3-parter over time, as it naturally divided that way.
One brainy broad that needs a showrunner to perfect her brand, her timing, and her exposition.
