> would blindly believe marketing material from a for-profit corporation

I am equally likely to believe or disbelieve marketing material from non-profits. Look at the malfeasance and lies from the Red Cross [1] -- or the sky-is-falling proclamations from the net neutrality crowd -- predictions of doom that never came to pass -- not to mention the lied-about motivations around net neutrality (the real motivation was about who pays for bandwidth.)
