Cirque Du Salahi: Be Careful Who You Trust
Once Michaele and Tareq Salahi got caught in the savage media vortex and were branded the White House “Party Crashers,” they became targets of a metastatic brand of scrutiny that no mortal could survive.  Were the Salahis social climbers who rightly earned some tweaks of ridicule?  Of course, but they have endured a flaying usually reserved for serial killers, not the uninvited.Veteran investigative reporter Diane Dimond is uniquely qualified to flip the camera around to examine the proverbial town square where we Americans stone our witches – especially those who commit the crime of getting caught engineering their own exposure.  Dimond discovers that the Salahis’ punishment was done under the chin-scratching banner of journalism, but shows that there was something sociopathic about the viciousness of their takedown and why consumers and retailers of what poses as “news” shouldn’t be let off the hook so fast.  Cirque Du Salahi is a riveting slice of contemporary anthropology.Eric DezenhallCEO, Dezenhall Resources, Ltd.Author, Damage Control
