The Astroturfing of Carmel Valley
Correction: My sincerest apologies. It was not a television news crew that interviewed Janette Littler - it was the Del Mar Times reporter. The rest of the information regarding Janette's interview after the Planning Board meeting remains the same. She was referred to as a Carmel Valley resident with no further clarification in the article.— May 17, 2012 9:57 a.m.
The Astroturfing of Carmel Valley
Janette Littler has been a paid consultant for many years. All one has to do is to google: 'Janette Littler One Paseo' to see that she has had numerous letters to the editors to many local newspapers published, posted on social websites such as Facebook, etc., extolling the benefits of One Paseo to the surrounding community. She was even interviewed by a television news crew after attending the last Torrey Pines Community Planning Board meeting regarding One Paseo. She was introduced by the San Diego television news reporter as a concerned Carmel Valley resident as Janette went on to praise the benefits of One Paseo to the surrounding community. I find it very disturbing that a paid consultant can write letters to the editor of numerous newspapers, post on social media, get interviewed by television news crews, and who knows what other media and never once disclose that she is a paid consultant regarding the topic she is supposedly giving her opinion on as a 'concerned resident'.— May 17, 2012 8:07 a.m.
