Stick 'human rights' on your organization, then get taken seriously by western media and governments - even when the organization is blatantly just a vehicle for advancing the interests of big business.
We really have to do ourselves what the media rarely does – check sources! When something is being reported, look up what NGO/think tank the info is coming from and check who is running and funding it.
The BBC and others cite, and invites representatives on, from various think tanks all the time, as though they’re just impartial sources of information, despite often being run by former US politicians, and funded by weapons manufacturers and big oil.
