I think in situations like this that type is just as bad as the rest of the lamestream media.
I'm not trying to get into an argument about smoking, it just happens that those are the groups with who's financial ties I am most familiar. The media is well aware of these ties, but choose to ignore them.
Every time I attempt to speak out about the problem I am immediately called on the carpet about who is paying me (the answer is no one); however when I question whoever is questioning me and get the same response, they are believed and I am not.
I had it happen to me on live TV - so I know what I'm talking about.
Getting back to your point -- Groups like the Guest Choice Network have been pilorried by every one of the groups they are fighting - all the nannies - for being schills of this corporation or that industry.
Unfortunately the nannies are the ones with the power and the money and so they get the ear of thosde that matter, not just the politicians and the media, but the sheeple who are just getting one side of the various different issues.
