Years ago I did some freelance writing; one assignment was for a company mining rare earth metals for smart phones etc. Found out horrific facts about the devastation, pollution and damage it caused to many communities. Realised this company had poisoned the water supply of villagers in many areas (among other things) and they needed a propaganda piece to make them look like they were the good guys. I waited 'till the very last minute to ditch it. The ignorance and hypocrisy of those telling us to be green is staggering.
My sister Is currently a freelance writer, and has shown me some of the subjects certain companies ask for. She turns them away after they ask her to revise her words because it, "doesn't fit in with their agenda". For example, she wrote about how you can survive off a minimum wage income, and the people who were paying for it basically said that they didn't want logic, they wanted to get people outraged.
