Let it be known to the business world: Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.
...Want to ensure the world’s biggest business media brand approaches you as a potential funnel of disinformation? Then hire away.
This isn’t cancel culture...Nor is this politically motivated...It’s just a realization that, as Daniel Patrick Moynihan famously said, in a thriving democracy, everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.
Still, impressive chutzpah to put a note out up front that, yes, we will run hitpieces (that are probably already drafted) against your firm if your hire the people we do not like.
At @ProjectLincoln we are constructing a database of Trump officials & staff that will detail their roles in the Trump administration & track where they are now. No personal info, only professional. But they will be held accountable & not allowed to pretend they were not involved

Whoa. @Forbes chief content officer warns against hiring @kayleighmcenany or other prominent Trump flacks: “Hire any of Trump’s fellow fabulists above, and Forbes will assume that everything your company or firm talks about is a lie.”

I worked in 5 R. presidential campaigns. This is my account of how the R Party became Trump. Not a book i thought I’d write but a book I felt I had to write.

"This isn't a lynching, we just hung someone who deserved it."
Yeah, I don't even know what else to say...
BLM, wage gap, feminist goals in general, the existence of misogyny, "white privilege"
Seems like you are entitled to your own facts if your own facts help create a world where women are superior.
No, see, that's Science™, friend. You can't argue with it.
Oh, don't get me started on "science" like global warming and the covid lockdowns.
It's blackmail. Do what we say, or else.
Yeah, I'm impressed they actually phrased it as a such a direct threat. Wild!
This is cancel culture metastasized.
Still, impressive chutzpah to put a note out up front that, yes, we will run hitpieces (that are probably already drafted) against your firm if your hire the people we do not like.
@ProjectLincoln too.

"This isn't a lynching, we just hung someone who deserved it."
That is effectively a declaration of war.
"Nah, this is fine..." - Republicans, probably.
