    There’s nothing like a new Astroturf group to confuse the public. Astroturfers gather ordinary citizens from the grassroots to advocate for various causes while in reality shilling for the trade associations, PR firms, corporations, and political organizations that set them up.

    • While writing about one shoddy story in @guardian, I discovered another. (Read to the bottom of the link.) Did a study prove that coffee protects vs. severe liver disease? Or was the study unable to prove that? You can’t have it both ways. https://t.co/Ou605AChEP https://t.co/huNboAhi1r
