[edit] CCF

Hi RP, regarding this edit about David Marsuko, I think we do need to say something about the CCF. They are a lobby group financed by the tobacco, alcohol, and fast-food industries, who have targeted animal rights and protection groups, and anti-alcohol groups such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving. They shouldn't be presented as disinterested or authoritative spokesmen.

If we were quoting Steven Best about David Marsuko, we would add that Best is a spokesmen for the ALF, and if the ALF weren't so well-known, I think we'd give a brief, neutral description. SlimVirgin ^{(talk)(contribs)} 04:04, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't have a problem with a brief, neutral description, but I don't think that edit was neutral. "A lobby group largely financed by the tobacco, alcohol, and fast-food industries" is fine with me. Rockpocket 04:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

That's fine with me too. SlimVirgin ^{(talk)(contribs)} 05:05, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
