PM Polemic for Gays in the Military, 7-15-08

The campaign to enable homosexuals to serve openly in the military has escalated beyond public relations into “perception management.” The fancy new buzz phrase, dramatized in the popular novel The Whole Truth, describes media-assisted deception on a global scale. David Baldacci, in an author’s note, summarized the tactics of unscrupulous perception managers: “PMs are not spin doctors because they don’t spin facts. They create facts and then sell them to the world as truth.”
