Now we're watching them, watching us, watching them…

I’ve had a lot of feedback on the posting about PR Watch. For the most part your e-mails pointed out that they seem to have an agenda all their own.

An e-mail from Virge Randall summed up a lot of your views:

“PRWatch appears to be an attempt to poison the well of public opinion for one side only – presumably because they have a monopoly on the truth and it must be told by any means necessary…. I’m not holding my breath waiting for hypocritical, self-righteous pseudo-watchdogs to turn the high beams on themselves and their beliefs – I’m just grateful our society allows the other side to grab the mike, too.”

My take on PR Watch is that I always treat ‘holier than thou’ websites with a grain of salt. PR Watch is no different.  While it purports to save the world from evil public relations practices – and in many cases it does correctly highlight wrongdoing, it inherently has it’s own agenda. Balance isn’t something PR Watch is designed for.
