Excerpt from *"Civilians Join the Fray" by David Eddy:

"So for all those spin doctors out there who think that the best approach is a Dr. Feel Good story, please pay attention. People know how to make their own informed decisions, even when the news is bad. Plus, they know when they're being treated like mushrooms.

Treat them like intelligent, reasoning human beings, and they will feel better about even bad news."

I read the article. I was left confused. Most of the "bad news" appears to have been left out of the acticle. Maybe you had to be there?
