Not every think tank is the same. I'm sure some of them are just fronts for various interests, and some are legitimate groups of people interested in an issue.

- Clubber 9y agoI agree there probably are some good ones that get funding somehow. But if the general consensus is most/many think tanks are independent organizations that think about stuff and publish articles, like authors or philosophers for the common good, they certainly are not. Also, I would suspect that the bigger the think tank (read well funded) the better chance of getting their article republished. I mean if I started Clubber's think tank about whatever, I doubt I'd get much traction.
- gozur88 9y agoDepends on what Clubber's think tank produced. If you create "reports" (they don't call 'em studies, and for good reason) media outlets can use for story hooks you might get plenty of traction. Also, you need to call your think tank something meaningless and anodyne like "People United for Truth and Justice". Because who isn't united for truth and justice?
