A Truth Reckoning: Why We’re Holding Those Who Lied For Trump Accountable
Why Forbes won't respect any PR firm that hires from the Trump administration.
So what’s the parallel in the dark arts of communication? Simple: Don’t let the chronic liars cash in on their dishonesty. Press secretaries like Joe Lockhart, Ari Fleischer and Jay Carney, who left the White House with their reputations in various stages of intact, made millions taking their skills — and credibility — to corporate America. Trump’s liars don’t merit that same golden parachute. Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie. We’re going to scrutinize, double-check, investigate with the same skepticism we’d approach a Trump tweet. Want to ensure the world’s biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away.
Reminds one of the following bit of humour.
Q: What happens when a Third World nation produces not just one, but two Ph.D.s?
A: One becomes ruler-for-life while that other languishes either in jail or in exile.
