(CNN) -- McDonald's is accused of bribing hundreds of bloggers to write positive posts about the fast food chain.
The company has reportedly thrown parties and given free gifts to about 400 McDonalds-friendly bloggers.
McDonald's reportedly flew 15 bloggers to its Illinois headquarters last year - putting them up in a fancy Chicago hotel and giving them a tour of the facilities.
Last year, the company compensated so-called "mommy bloggers" for writing about its new "wholesome choices" program for its happy meals.
