BECK, BERNAYS & THE KOCH BROTHERS

Glenda Beck has railed against "progressive" Edward Bernays for creating the field of public relations because PR is a bad "liberal" endeavor.   Glenda has also attended the last two Koch brothers fascist conclaves (here and here), so I wonder what he would think of Koch Industries hiring an Internet PR firm?

Koch Industries Employs PR Firm To Airbush Wikipedia, Gets Banned For Unethical ‘Sock Puppets’
Last year, Koch Industries began employing New Media Strategies (NMS), an Internet PR firm that specializes in “word-of-mouth marketing” ...

...ever since the NMS contract was inked with Koch, an NMS employee began editing the Wikipedia page for “Charles Koch,” “David Koch,” “Political activities of the Koch family,” and “The Science of Success” (a book written by Charles).

Lyndsey Medsker, a senior account director for NMS, spoke to ThinkProgress today. She explained that NMS also maintains the Koch Industries Twitter page, Facebook page, and has an active team working on promoting Koch Industries in the comment section of blogs and news websites.
