No, the term predates fake grass roots movements. It comes from using fake grass to cover up an ugly yard.
So creating fake or useless media attention to distract or cover up something you don't want people to see.
- zamadatix 7y agoGoogling around I can't find anything that agrees with this but I see an overwhelming number of sites referring to the origin as related to the grass roots meaning with the popular origin from Lloyd Bentsen in 1985. Not that it couldn't have just been overrun since that time I just couldn't find anything to support your claim.
