[edit] Disgraceful

This is a disgraceful example of a company advertisement disguised as a encyclopedic entry. Expressions such as "leading market-research enterprise" are deceptive and the whole article resembles a PR pamphlet (filled with expressions commonly used in PR-material). In addition:

• the article contains completely irrelevant information which is not relevant in an article describing the MC GfK company
• there is a redirect from "Media Control" to this article, which I find both unjustified and misleading, as Media control might mean: Media control (the book by Noam Chomsky) and Media control as in overall criticism of the polarity of the media.

I'm taking the freedom to both flag this article as lacking any sources, for fallacious advertising language and removing the redirect. --piksi (talk) 07:18, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
