At least in my experience when doing investigative journo stuff, it's rare but it happens. The spokespeople who've done it towards me have been around for long enough that it's not unknown behavior.
- alwa 1y agoI mean, I guess if the all of the substantive facts are against you, it makes sense that your only move is to kick up dust this way. I just don’t see how it helps: they just come off looking desperate. Then again I don’t use the socials, maybe that’s what I’m missing.
- chaps 1y agoDoesn't quite work that way unfortunately. Spokespeople don't really care when the "substantive facts are up against [them]". Fundamentally, they're not the target of the reporting, especially at big orgs/agencies. But just like HR -- their job is to protect the entity over all else. And they're quite good at it, despite what might initially come off as desperate.
