"I 'suppose' (and that's all it is) that RR (or his damage control publicist) chose the Advocate and the writer because they would give him a friendly reception. I probably also suppose that RR (or his damage control publicist) chose the specific quotes to use, and may have written the whole damn thing. We have both been around long enough that we know that these things happen."
I have no doubt that such things happen, but for what it's worth, we should stress the point that if, in fact, an article/interview like this was written by or even guided by the publicist of the person in question, that would be INCREDIBLY shoddy journalism.
I was aware that the Advocate still exists, though I believe only in online form, but I have not really followed it in years. There was a time when it was a pretty great magazine in print form. |
