[...] Pelosi praised Yelp as “a model of good business” and an exemplar of the “social and economic engines that drive the American dream”—a dream “built on faith in the future, faith in the entrepreneurial spirit, faith in innovation, faith in technology, and really faith in community, because community is what Yelp is all about.” Even better, unlike the local newspapers that Stoppelman and his fellow tech execs helped to drive out of business, Yelp didn’t subsidize a small army of journalists to pester politicians like Pelosi with questions about her coziness with campaign donors, or to write honest, competent restaurant reviews.
