Zavajajoče potvarjanje javne podpore
Definition from
own experience or research:
Zavajajoče potvarjanje javne podpore, imenovano tudi astroturfing je satiričen izraz, ki izhaja iz pojma grass roots movement.<br /><br />Slednji opisuje spontano podporo javnosti določeni družbeni dejavnosti ali vrednoti, hi nastane in raste samostojno. Astroturf je umetna trava, ki se uporablja kot podlaga v ameriškem nogometu in občasno tenisu.<br /><br />Astroturfing torej omenja umetno ponarejeno spontano javno podporo, kot se je začela pojavljati v ZDA, kjer medijske korporacije pogosto zastopajo enostranske politične interese.
Example sentences:
Nastanek te organizacije je tipičen primer »astroturf kampanje« - torej lažnega, samo na prvi pogled izvirnega gibanja, ki je oblikovano od zunaj, za marketing določene ideje. (Tednik Mladina)
