HILL AND KNOWLTON

Hill (of Beans) and Knowlton might need their own public relations firm after accepting Highlands, Baupost, aka Seth Klarman for customers regarding their little quarry in little old Melancthon.

And you can't blame Highlands, Baupost, aka Seth Klarman for hiring Hill and Knowlton, I mean they have managed some pretty big public relations disasters.  You know that quirky little problem of cigarettes causing cancer and H&K managing that crisis by issuing a Frank statement stating there was no verifiable research between cigarettes cancer (or words to that effect). 

Then the little quote that managing the outrage is more important than managing the hazard or something like that.

I do have to say however, Minebuster owes Daniher an apology. I had assumed he was a poor public relations person with all that stuff he would say to the press that seemed pretty ineffectual and this blog has put the screws to him over the past couple of years. 

Little did I know it apparently comes in a book because the new spokesperson is uttering the same nonsense with about as much substance as a pile of dog crap that has been out in the rain for a few days.
