"Think Tank"

Any body calling itself a "Think Tank" is a huge red flag.

"Think Tanks" do not exist to come up with new innovative ideas, but to find ways to sell their sponsors' agenda which would otherwise be untenable. "Weasel Words Factory" may be a more accurate description.

(of course, depends on whether the term has been added by the media rather than the body in question)
