“The Consumerist empowers consumers by
informing and entertaining them about the top consumer issues of the day. We
are a leading online resource for consumer-driven advice about dealing with
everything from non-existent customer service to onerous cell-phone contracts
to ever-shrinking (and ever-more-expensive) grocery products. The Consumerist
is published by Consumer Media LLC, a not-for-profit subsidiary of Consumers
Union, and takes no outside advertising. The Consumerist highlights the
persistent, shameless gaffes of modern consumerism - and the latest scams,
rip-offs, hot deals and freebies. We also encourage our readers to tell us
about their everyday experiences with absurdities of consumer culture - and
suggest ways for them to fight back.
About Consumer Media LLC - The Consumerist's
parent company, Consumer Media LLC, is a subsidiary of Consumers Union, the
publisher of Consumer Reports, and ConsumerReports.org, and the nation's
leading not-for-profit consumer advocacy organization. Since its founding in
1936, Consumers Union has fought for a fair, just, and safe marketplace for all
consumers and to empower consumers to protect themselves. To maintain
independence and impartiality, CU accepts neither outside advertising nor free
samples. It employs a staff of "mystery shoppers" who buy products in
retail stores around the country, just as any other buyer would, and then ship
them to the Consumers Union labs, where technical experts test some 3,000
products yearly.”
