Burson Cohn & Wolfe	“It is critically important that third-party genetic experts, including respected authorities with no specific background in radiofrequency, be identified to speak on the following issues: • Problems with the Lai-Singh and Sarkar studies [on an increase in single-strand DNA breaks in the brain cells of rats after a single two-hour exposure to 2.45 GHz microwaves, at power levels officially considered safe] • The health implications of DNA single-strand breaks. We do not believe that Motorola should put anyone on camera. We must limit our corporate visibility and defer complex scientific issues to credible, qualified scientific experts. We have developed a list of independent experts in this field and are in the process of recruiting individuals willing and able to reassure the public on these matters.”	Motorola	1994
COVID-19/Panic	“People in the UK widely believed that the pseudopandemic was real, not because the scientific or statistical evidence was clear but because the government spent billions with PR firms to run “hard-hitting” media campaigns designed to convince them of it.”	Iain Davis	16 August 2022
Robert Malone	“Many years ago, when I was working for the "Aereas Global Tuberculosis Vaccine Foundation", which was one of the early Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation nonprofit vaccine companies, the CEO hired a media consulting firm that mainly consisted of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and a marketing manager. To ensure that favorable stories about the organization and its mission were printed, the "journalist" and the marketing specialist would consult with their clients and learn what story the organization wanted to be told in a major print publication. An article pushing the story would then be crafted, all of the necessary background assembled to meet whatever editorial review standards were likely to be encountered. Then this prebaked work would be fed to some "journalists" working for the targeted publication. My first "You're not in Kansas anymore" moment concerning modern journalism was when I saw this process used to "place" an article in The Economist, which I had naïvely believed operated as an independent arbiter of truth. Even then, I thought, - well, this can't be the norm, can it?”	Robert Malone	2022
Philanthropy	“We see the final evolution of this empty potlatch practiced in the western world, our cities, parks, and universities carrying buildings with the names Carnegie, Rockefeller, Hearst, Macmillan, Bioedel - men who grabbed millions from the labor and lands of others and offered back to the public a pittance. It was good public relations for alienated masses who understood nothing, but it was hardly expiation for public guilt; it was almost all proud heroism, the flaunting of power with very little mixture of repentance.”	Ernest Becker	1976
