Thanks for the interesting story, the scary glimpse into lobbying firms, and the thoughts on the pitfalls of undercover journalism. I personally take no issue with the use of undercover tactics to explore an industry devoted to twisting and distorting public images. I think OTM should do an undercover piece... perhaps Brooke could put on a wig and get a job at Fox News??
