Be wary of blogs espousing the wonderfulness of Wal-Mart. The good P.R. might have originated in the office of one of Wal-Mart’s public relations firms before being distributed via e-mail to the blogosphere. Instead of actually fixing the problems - paying exceedingly low wages and not providing health care, to name a few - that cause bad press, Wal-Mart is now using bloggers to gain favor with the public.
An article written by Michael Barbaro from the NY Times (Wal-Mart Enlists Bloggers in P.R. Campaign) outlines the specifics of the process they are using to reach you. Be afraid, be very afraid.
