Those outfits often actually produce something of value.

  Each of the topics provide different value to different parties. The crux of the matter is noticing this type of distinction. For example, Bitcoin seems to provide independence from the Banking Establishment, which alters what sorts of activities are funded. Industries such as the Military Industrial Complex, Big Agriculture, & Big Pharma has largely been co-opted by established interests. Public Relations is utilized to convince people to adopt philosophies that are friendly to these industries while not looking out for their own interests. On the surface, there seems to be a dialectic between decentralized (Bitcoin) & centralized (the Establishment) forms of control. It's easy to see the possibility for media outlets or NGO's are nothing more than fronts using the "greater good" as an argument to advocate for the interests of their benefactors. Edward Bernays describes this technique in some of his books.
