It is a bit of a rant isn't it?! But the closeness of the PR and media industries is hardly a new development, and if the authors think the media has ever truly been independent I think they're sadly mistaken!

Dare I say it, but if journalists weren't as lazy and actually did some unbiased reporting, then there would be no need for PR companies.
