As I noted elsewhere, I have a study of how the worst dictatorships in nations whose people are starving and hurting because of governmental corruption are somehow finding plenty of money to retain willing PR talent to sign on.
Ballard did in fact do a more than competent job for the Trump candidacy and campaign. But now they will use their considerable talents to make this corrupt government and its politicians more acceptable in the political and governmental spheres in Washington, DC. They have the right to do this. But we also have unnamed PR talent still making the case of our own corrupt political "star", and communications mavens doing likewise for a wealthy life threatening gun industry.
What do we teach those preparing their careers in public affairs and public relations about what is acceptable for a fee. Prostitutes have their prices but know precisely what they are promising and delivering. What part of the college curriculum takes care of this instruction?
