“Freedom” Rag “Responds” to 60 Minutes

February 13, 2019 By Mike Rinder 64 Comments

In its inimitable and oh so predictable style, Freedom has responded to the 60 Minutes Australia piece.   In a surprise to absolutely nobody, they lashed out at their dirty laundry being exposed once again not by responding to the facts, but attempting to smear the reporter, complete with the most unflattering photo they could find/doctor.

Scientology’s PR Trainwreck

December 10, 2014 By Mike Rinder 156 Comments

The Scientology PR machine is rolling... Like a runaway train on a toboggan ride down the Matterhorn (to steal some shermanspeak). They not only have the international news of the announcement of Alex Gibney's scientology film premiering at Sundance next month, (and a tongue in cheek statement from HBO about having 160 lawyers being picked up internationally to set the mood and get a LOT of people wanting to watch it to see what the noise is all about), now they have a new video of bizarre bubble behavior leaking out into the real world with Cathy Fraser and Co "confronting and shattering" … [Read more...]
