Affiliated and propped up for sure, but I don’t think they’re “ran” by Ford. Think about it, if they were ran by Ford, they wouldn’t need to travel to Colorado for the scoop on the Bronco, they could just stay in Michigan and get one on one time with the Bronco as much as they want. And Ford would be spoon feeding them all the juicy details to keep those paid memberships coming in. Regardless, classless and petty move to try and block a recording.
Of course Ford had to have them out there. They had to be there peddling BN membership plans and swag for sale. But they also had to be on location to shoot material for pumping up their social media content.
The whole point and facade they’re trying to paint with BN is that of an authentic organic indepdendent community. So Ford has them pop up everywhere the Bronco shows up. So they can appear like your average unaffiliated hardcore enthusiasts who just so happen to know exactly where the Bronco prototypes will pop up in the country. /sarcasm
I don’t fault Ford for wanting to run its own controlled forum and enthusiasts community, but to be disingenuous about it to Bronco enthusiasts and future owners (and now this behavior at the event), is really cringe worthy.
