When Will the Ethical Nightmare of Sponsored Trips to the Middle of Nowhere End?

There is, apparently, some sort of Bentonville County Fair going on at Wal-Mart HQ. They’re calling it “Media Eduction” or “Please Write Favorably Of Us For Once Day” (the first one sounds ominous enough, actually…). They’ve invited a couple bloggers to liveblog (sort of) the proceedings, and it sounds like quite a treat: MORE »
