Did a Right-Wing PR Firm Bribe NYT, WSJ, MIT, and Others?
A "media and research" company called eSapience has filed a breach-of-contract lawsuit against the California investment firm C.V. Starr & Co., helmed by Maurice "Hank" Greenberg. Not the typical public relations firm, eSapience, run by conservative, free-market academics, buys and manipulates influence at the very highest levels of academic and intellectual circles. The suit brings to light the extremes to which a group of right-wingers have taken the phrase "marketplace of ideas," and exposes the lengths to which some will go to buy intellectual influence.
