Its large staff of PR and marketing folks -- who could come out swinging and defuse the growing list of charges -- are jaw-droppingly quiet. This is Corporate Proaganda 101, to keep quiet when the company braintrust has been implicated as liars and lawbreakers, called to the mat and forced into submission by The Man. Corporate propaganda being what it is, all efforts will be made to keep this dreadful news out of the media outlets that face its current and potential customers.<br /><br />Mack has a point. What if Allergan subscribes to that well-documented standard of corporate behavior in America that demands secrecy, dishonesty, and deception? Often, that is what is meant when the corporate propagandists respond to employees who do have the information and insight to interpret the ethical failings of their employer. It's the most obvious and transparent cliche that corporate America can perpetrate: they are told to not respond to media inquiries except to say "it's just business as usual."Jeffrey Frentzen/Plastic Surgery Practice magazinehttp://www.plasticsurgerypractice.com/noreply@blogger.com
