Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan shook up the PR community this weekend when he released his book which admits that he lied during his tenure as Press Secretary.
While many were shocked others, like CBSNews.com Legal Analyst Andrew Cohen, suggested that telling a PR person not to lie is like telling a burglar not to steal. In response to Cohen's comments PRSA issued a response saying, "the PRSA Code of Ethics, to which all members pledge, embodies a strict set of guidelines defining ethical and professional practice in public relations."
Are all PR professionals liars? I certainly don't think of myself that way, but maybe I am just a really good liar? If all PR people are liars, what does that make lawyers? Watch the video and then comment below.
