Oh, The Irony: Facebook Hired PR Firm To Spread Negative Stories About Google's Privacy Problems
You have probably already heard by now that Facebook had hired renowned PR firm Burson-Marsteller to pitch anti-Google stories to newspapers and blogs. The gist of the stories: Google’s new social products are an invasion of privacy. (Facebook has since admitted that Google’s use of Facebook data in its new social product is at least part of what’s bothering the social giant.)
Both PR reps assigned to the account were former reporters: Jim Goldman is a former CNBC tech reporter and John Mercurio was a former political reporter, so you think they would have known better.
