The Center for Media and Democracy Presents “The Falsies”
By Sam Garchik
The CMDP is currently taking “The Falsies,”
a list of 14 slick moves companies or government organizations puled on
the public to hide shameful actions. I guess it's true – there is a lot
of money in PR.
The
other great thing about “The Falsies” is that it's global. For example,
the Maldive islands, home to resorts and Diego Garcia, are apparently
hiring a PR firm to cover up all the nasty things the government does.
And someone put out a new first-person shooter game showing people
killing U.S. soldiers – the only thing is it's a copy of some game that
was once called “Quest for Saddam.” And why is Tom Daschle's picture up
there?
At any rate, remember to vote for the most blatant self-promoting PR move of the year at The Falsies.
