Winner: Losing Because Of Palin-Bashing Ad

Posted by: Laer at 09:07 am

A

s Winner & Associates’ Ethan Winner admits that he was behind an anonymous, lying, unethical Palin-bashing ad his firm attempted to make go viral, it looks like they’re going to be losing business.

A comment from “Mark” posted on my post about the ethical violations of Winners’ action lays it out:

This is ad and video is really such poor form.  My family, which lives in LA and does regular business with Winner will be suspending all adds and they don’t even support the McCain Palin ticket.

Even if the firm was not behind it, Winner is employed there and this irresponsible behavior really frustrates my dad.  He won’t go out there and post his opinion, but I will.  Winner is just about to lose a good client.

This is as it should be.  Firms like Winner’s (and mine) are tasked first and foremost with protecting the reputations of their clients.  Such work shouldn’t be trusted to people who use unethical tactics to attempt to ruin the reputations of others.

Their laudatory coverage and refusal to extensively probe into Obama's background and [lack of] experience was at best responsible for five percent of his vote, the pundits tell us. Here is a compilation of over 100 significant instances of pro-Obama/anti-McCain bias during the 2008 campaign.
