Grr!

Apart from this one sentence, and a few moments where it's evident he's 
not familiar with our far-too-complex terminology, this seems (from your 
excerpt) a pretty reasonable article.

It's not about How To Whitewash Your Client's Entry, but rather How To 
Ensure Wikipedia Is Fair To Your Client --- a noble goal, one we strive 
for ourselves (although, unlike Mr Cornfield's target audience, we 
aren't being paid for it).  If a bunch of campaign managers and press 
agents and other such people want to provide well-sourced information 
and try to keep Wikipedia neutral, then good luck to them ... if they 
can resist the temptation to go too far in support of their clients.


Cheers,
