Boston Globe Calls Out GLAAD, NAACP & NEA for backing AT&T's Bid for T-Mobile
The Boston Globe has just published an editorial critical of GLAAD, the NAACP and the NEA for weighing in at the FCC on a AT&T's bid to takeover T-Mobile. The Globe pointed out that all three groups received donations from AT&T.
The Globe writes of GLAAD, the NAACP and the NEA in part:
"Shilling for AT&T makes them seem more like paid lobbyists than clarions of justice; it carries more than a whiff of hackery."
"Many nonprofits seek corporate sponsorship, especially in today’s financial climate, but their fund-raising operations shouldn’t drive their advocacy. And if AT&T or any other corporation wants to support civil-rights groups or a teachers’ union, it should do so out of a commitment to those causes, not as a down payment on future favors."
