Edelman has broken its deafening silence on the Wal-Mart fiasco. Their top blogger, the much estimed Steve Rubel, says he had nothing to to with it. His boss, Richard Edelman, has finally apologised, which is the right thing to do, but would have been done much better by doing it much sooner.
He graciously says Edelman takes 100% responsibility - i.e. let nobody blame the client (which is the first rule of PR).
Some interesting comments on Neville Hobson’s postabout the whole affair.
