PR on Ulitzer

I just read SYS-CON's response to the recent attacks in Fuat Kircaali's Social Media Terrorists blog entry.

I realized the email quoted at the end of Kircaali's blog was also copied to Ted Weissman of Lois Paul & Partners, a public relations firm with clients in technology.


If this email was sent to SYS-CON based on Weissman's advice to his client, then, in my humble opinion, Ted Weissman and his firm are not qualified to operate as a PR agency to serve the technology markets and provide any advice to technology clients until they sort out their facts from the Twitter mob fiction.

After reading Kircaali's response, it sounds like this PR man is getting his news from the Twitter feeds of Al Jazeera instead of reading the facts in a magazine such as Forbes before advising his technology clients about the "documented questionable business practices" of one of the most respected tech media companies in the world.

My question is "Is this man in the business of providing public relations or creating public relations disasters for his clients?"

Documented questionable business practices?

I would love to get Weissman's client list and let them know about "his" documented business practices.
