I just read your article on the NY Post, and you wrote:

“… flacks serve what they see as their clients’ interests – not the public, and not the truth.
“The tragic death of teen Jett Travolta was a prime example. … the family’s statements linking the child’s untimely death with … Kawasaki’s disease were also misleading.”

I followed the Jett Travolta story pretty closely, and I never heard a single “family statement” (or publicist or Travolta spokesperson statement) linking Jett’s seizures and/or death with Kawasaki disease.

While John Travolta and Kelly Preston did make public statements about Jett’s Kawasaki disease as a toddler, they never once linked Jett’s seizures (or his death) with his early case of Kawasaki disease. It was simply speculated upon by the media, and then took on a life of its own.

While your point about misinformation from the media and spokespeople is well taken, you might want to consider correcting the record about what you claimed were the Travolta spokespeoples’ statements.
