Merck's Len Tacconi said the campaign is "not self-serving in any way."
Are your investors aware of this, Len? Can you give us the list of Merck employees who have been fired or fined for violating their legal duty to increase shareholder value by participating in this non-self-serving project?
The "begging" is going to have to stop! "Viewers like you" and those who also pay taxes, have learned to turn off "beg week" ... and will forget to turn public stations on again if all they get is privately underwritten propaganda ... At our house, we're finding alternatives left and right (but not so much as left). We like Sundance Channel and Air America Radio, and the C-SPANs even! VOA has way more competition than it ever had before. It's hard to imagine what the White House is hoping to accomplish.
Is Stan just saying that because anybody can say anything these days, true or not, factual or not, supported by nothing, and it is supposed to go unchallenged and be ok?
This is a real "Well, duh" ...
Should somebody tell him? Or is it hopeless?
Voluntary restrictions have a history of working very well. For instance, we hardly have any pollution ever since the big industrial companies started voluntarily cutting back on greenhouse gas emissions.

Just wondering out loud how typical news releases
are viewed versus VNRs. Both serve the same purpose
but use different formats.
Is there an outcry on news releases?
While some in PR are unethical, most are ethical.
Ultimately, it's up to the media outlet to decide
what is news and what is not.
And, yes I work in public relations.
