A bit ago I joined Ryan Holiday to talk ab online manipulation & smear campaigns, among other things. He wrote the 📕 “Trust Me, I’m Lying: Confessions of a Media Manipulator” ab his own work in PR & manipulated narratives. If you’re interested in the Blake Lively story, listen. The tactics are almost identical bt entertainment & politics — it’s easy to smear someone in an age of online rage mobs & vitriolic factions!
