It's not like these are lobbyists reaching out to a politician to make a case. This is lobbyists reaching out to journalists to craft a narrative for the public to erode any support for Lina's actions, which lobbiests would then use as evidence when reaching out to politicians. I'm sure this author is not the only they reached out to.

Manufacturing Consent indeed.
