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...
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.
They should force them to wear little yellow stars so we know never to listen to or hire them.
