It is the ultimate low life and if you think you ever get the truth from the media then you believe in the tooth fairy. They censor the news to fit into their political predilections. They bend the news, warp the news, censor the news, lie about the news, create news, mislead about the news and fake the news. Everybody, or so it seems that is in the public eye employs public relations firms. Johnson did, Kennedy did, Eisenhower did, Nixon did, Carter did, Reagan did, Bush did, Clinton did.
Public relations is a means of getting attention and shaping public opinion.
It achieves its goals through publicity, advertising, the use of press agents, public affairs forums, lobbying public officials, and every other means that gets a message before the public. Inc. When you read those wonderful articles about a Senator, a Congressman, the Speaker of the House, the Minority leader in the house, in the Senate, the Majority leader in the Senate, the House, the Governor of the State etc. The PR firm is, of course, employed by the party on whom all the adulation falls. The Kennedy's always employed PR and never but never have stopped to this day. Entire political parties lie and frequently lie through their teeth.
