Who’s Paying Richard Berman This Time?
Depending on where you watched the Super Bowl, you may have noticed Richard Berman’s latest attempt to trick you.
The right wing’s favorite hatchet-man isn’t a big fan of unions, so he pumped a lot of money into a deceptive ad from his fake non-profit organization, the Center for Union Facts (CUF).
If you didn’t know any better, you could be forgiven for thinking that CUF has some actual experts to back up its “facts.” In reality, the whole charade is nothing more than another creation of Mr. Berman’s PR firm, Berman and Company.
Over the years, Mr. Berman has taken millions in corporate cash and used it to set up front groups – like CUF – that help corporations hide the truth from the public. Mr. Berman has fashioned himself an expert on everything from smoking to food safety, and from children’s health to tanning beds.
Super Bowl ads aren’t cheap, so it begs the question: which big pocketed corporations is Richard Berman shilling for this time?
