The Center for Media and Democracy Presents "The Falsies"

By Sam Garchik

The CMDP is currently taking "The Falsies," a list of 14 slick moves companies or government organizations puled on the public to hide shameful actions. I guess it's true - there is a lot of money in PR.

The other great thing about "The Falsies" is that it's global. For example, the Maldive islands, home to resorts and Diego Garcia, are apparently hiring a PR firm to cover up all the nasty things the government does. And someone put out a new first-person shooter game showing people killing U.S. soldiers - the only thing is it's a copy of some game that was once called "Quest for Saddam." And why is Tom Daschle's picture up there?

At any rate, remember to vote for the most blatant self-promoting PR move of the year at The Falsies.
