Title: Hypocrisy Personified
Product review: As aptly pointed out by an NPR reporter inverviewing the author, they're using EXACTLY the same techniques that they villify in their book. Not only are they using PR tactics to promote the book, but writing the book in the first place is a PR tactic to draw attention to their cause. The underlying message is important -- be critical readers, viewers and listers. Get your news from a source you trust, and consider the sources they cite in their reporting (indeed, if they cite their sources, at all). However, to pin controversial media and PR techniques on industry is the very definition of hypocrisy. Or have you forgotton about Alar? This lack of even-handedness ruins the credibility of the book for anyone seeking the whole truth, rather than just a rant to support their views.
