Astroturfing.

Like it or not, some of the power users here post nonstop about certain news subjects while completely ignoring others. I don't even have to mention which ones. It's always a shock to me to see important news stories that don't even make it here, and this happens every single day.

We're great about dealing with trolls here, but we completely ignore other forms of manipulation.
