D.C. Tech lobby group behind the scenes

A Washington D.C. Tech lobby group may be the secret authors of an article which Mel King placed his name on,on the Harvard Crimson.I found this to be very interesting in many ways. You can see the original article that I saw here.

As the article points out,Mel King placed his name and an opinion piece that was completely contradictory to what his position was previously.This pro-Comcast article may have been written by LawMedia Group which Comcast hired.That would account for the article being so contradictory.
LawMedia Group is emerging as a highly secretive group that is lobbying for all kinds of companies including Microsoft, whom the represented to lobby against the Google-Yahoo advertising deal. That there are such lobby groups doesn't surprise me. What does surprise me is how incredibly secretive they are.

Until just recently, it appears that their websites was mostly full of password-locked pages. No clients,no employee names,no founder names,and no principals are given either.
Unfortunately for LMG,they've been found out and are now in the spotlight. the media had discovered that they may have had to do which certian anti-walmart op-eds supposed to be authored by Charles Steele Jr. And they are once again in the spotlight now.

It seems that LMG was highly involved in King's op-ed.Perhaps an obvious fault by LMG was placing the exact same statement from a letter supposedly witten by Rev. Jesse Jackson in King's op-ed. "People of color make up 33 percent of our population but own just 3 percent of all broadcast TV stations--and research shows that the number of owners is plummeting at alarming levels." Obviously, either someone from LMG copied it, or happened to be the same author and just reused it to save time. Even stranger is that Jackson denied having made the statement even though it was in the letter to the Federal Communications Commission.

If LMG wrote such statements for all these people, then who else have they been writing for? What about other companies? And exactly how deeply involved has LMG been in these topics? It seems to me that as time goes by, the truth will slowly unravel itself, regardless of how much LMG tries to hide or deny it.
