Amazon PR learned a lot from the Bush administration (K.R.) about how to fool them. State things as though they're established facts. Typical lazy editors won't insist that the facts are checked.
- jerf 18y agoThat's not "learned from the Bush administration", that's PR 101. Go read pg's essay on PR, which is only news because it's being explained to people not in the PR industry, not because it was actually new information: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html The press hasn't been in the business of checking facts for at least two decades, and it just gets worse and worse.
