Questionable behavior aside there is immense irony in that, by writing this rant, and, given the incredibly popular title and subject matter of the article, he will undoubtedly receive even more publicity and attention for his book than he did before.
- rubidium 16y agoPerhaps more than just irony. When I discovered this, my reporter's instinct kicked in. Success as a reporter often depends more on who you know than what you know. Networking is a core skill. Networking is also Facebook's advertised purpose, so that's how I started using it. Success as a reporter also means recognizing a good story when you see one. Not to say conclusively that he did it on purpose, but what better story to draw publicity to yourself (and, your prized book)?
- pohl 16y agoYes, striking while the irony is hot.
