X, All,

Further expounding on my previous post on paid PR companies, such are rampant on the web. Many paid pieces appear under the auspices of universities and hospitals, tending to give them a credence they do not warrant.

Before accepting such reports as valid and objective, it is imperative that one determine the actual source of information and whether it represents a bonafide scientifically conducted study or whether it is the product of paid PR. This holds true even with the studies and reports of tax-supported government organizations and other respected institutions.

Often, it is nearly impossible to make such determination, and that's just how it is supposed to look. That's what they pay the PR folks big bucks for.
