Any corporation large enough to have its own PR department is in the business of making fake news.

- threeseed 9y agoThis is a pretty ridiculous statement. Many companies of a decent size e.g. 100 will have someone dedicated to PR. So we are talking a significant proportion of businesses. And the role of PR is merely to disseminate factual, accurate information about the company e.g. press releases. It's by definition not fake news.
