» Dealing with the Fox News PR machine JIMROMENESKO.COM

"What reporters say about Briganti
“I think you should charge us all therapist rates to listen to our Irena stories,” one reporter emailed after I tweeted that I was looking for anecdotes about the PR woman.

Another reporter responded to the email address I posted on Twitter: “I will admit that even as I send this, a tiny, tiny part of me wonders if ‘jim@jimromenesko.com’ isn’t some overly obvious front email for her to scoop up a lifetime’s worth of ammunition to destroy all the reporters she always wanted to. I am not ashamed to say I fear her.”

And the camera - shy viper who headed (heads?) PR, Irena Briganti

Oh, I cannot wait to get my hands on this book.

On the blogs, the fight was particularly fierce. Fox PR staffers were expected to counter not just negative and even neutral blog postings but the anti-Fox comments beneath them. One former staffer recalled using twenty different aliases to post pro-Fox rants. Another had one hundred. Several employees had to acquire a cell phone thumb drive to provide a wireless broadband connection that could not be traced back to a Fox News or News Corp account. Another used an AOL dial-up connection, even in the age of widespread broadband access, on the rationale it would be harder to pinpoint its origins. Old laptops were distributed for these cyber operations. Even blogs with minor followings were reviewed to ensure no claim went unchecked.

Hey, let's boycott their advertisers. It worked against Rush and Hannity, didn't it? Nothing but self-promos and PSA's for Rush in Chicago before he went off the air.

Media Matters has expanded. It's stated mission is to monitor (ONLY) conservative speech and now it has expanded to attacking Fox with unsubstantiated charges. How the hell does the admitted left wing propaganda source maintain it's tax exempt status?

 

[JakeStarkey]

The charges are substantiated, whitehall, while your claims are not. Move along.

 

[TakeAStepBack]

The charges are substantiated, whitehall, while your claims are not. Move along.

In the book's endnotes, Folkenflik explains that "four former Fox News employees told me of these practices." It's unclear whether these tactics are ongoing.

Sure thing, Fake. That's some real substantiated claims there. The Ol' hear say nonsense. Truly groundbreaking investigative journalism.

i dont listen or watch fox news, dullard. But the claims aren't substantiated. That's hearsay and it's about as good in investigation as a rumor.


Congrats on taking it seriously. You're definitely fit for Media Matters consumption.

Umm, do I have to define the word "reportedly" or the phrase "forthcoming book" by a disgruntled former employee? Unsubstantiated seems to fit.

No. But i'll take your post for what it is - a lack of an intelligent retort. No big surprise for a Media Matters stooge.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Listen, I would love to stay and chat, but there are people out there who actually know how to verbally interact without repeating themselves in a vain effort to score smack points.

In other words, you have nothing. The substantiated claims you thanked Fakey for aren't substantiated. You suck at this. Making you not only fit, but the poster child for Media matters consumption. Run along now. Pick up your copy of that sure to be a hit bias investigative reporting too. I'm sure it's right up your alley.
