Evangelical PR [1]
Submitted by Bob Burton [2] on
Mike Paul [3], the president of the New York-based MGP & Associates PR [4], counts amongst his clients the conservative Black evangelical Bishop Harry Jackson [5]'s High-Impact Leadership Coalition. Paul's company states on its website that its "philosophy is grounded in both business and biblical principles" and boasts that "our ethical [6] and moral standards are the highest in the industry." Bill Berkowitz called Paul and, after introducing himself as working as a journalist for WorkingForChange.com, asked about his work for the coalition. After stating "national public relations," Paul asked Berkowitz to restate who he was working for. After Berkowitz told him once more, Paul said, "Look, I'm in a car trying to help out a liberal rag. I deal with big media outlets, and your rag is probably seen by only a handful of people. This phone call is done. I gave you my answer. Have a good day."
