I've just read a post around British politics by a respectable account that ticks boxes for it functioning as "Defence of the slime".
Somewhat boggled.
Though a widely respected journalist unknowingly or knowingly laundered Elon Musk's reputation in an article in The Atlantic. Based on the thinnest of threads.
And so many of the (non-space exploration) accounts I was following expressed delight and offered congratulations to India when its moon mission succeeded.

Tucker Carlson reaches for credibility?
Has he got Paul Manafort doing reputation laundering for him?
Maybe buy a golf tour like the bone-saw prince?
Or an article gets written about Tucker in The Atlantic? Like Elon Musk.

The cunning of the Free Speech Onion methodology is hard to fully appreciate, unless you've spent decades working in independent media, learning to identify and filter out reputation laundering and NewSpeak ("PR"). Or perhaps spent a similar length of time as an anticorporate activist or campaigner against other forms of military-industrial power.
They're very good at sounding reasonable and balanced, while framing debates in ways that support their biases.

Beware of reputation laundering! Looks like the DataFarmers have paid some marketing pod people to try to co-opt the phrase 'Social Web' to include the legacy social media platforms it's being built as a replacement for. Or some pod people just decided there's money to be made in doing that off their own bat, but they're usually not that forward-looking;

This is the PM photographed in a fucking Rio Tinto hi-vis shirt, whose gov has approved more and more fossil fuels projects.
There may be some good stuff in the new laws - or maybe not - but this article reeks of being spin doctorrng, perception management.
Where is the actual analysis of the fucking legislation?

Netanyahu's got an "8th front" going - he's looking to do #ReputationLaundering and convince folk that it wasn't genocide but instead that the slaughter and starvation of innocents was legal.
People pay an aweful lot to get their reputation laundered. Countries who've done genocide probably a whole lot more.
#TomNicols might not even know that he's doing $Hasbara
Here's #AnneApplebaum, also at #TheAtlantic. Maybe also unaware.

Bonesaw kingdom needs to launder its filthy reputation. (Literally butchered a journalist.)
They're paying real money to really nasty people to do that using golf. LIV golf precisely.
Of course they want to destroy Australia's Aboriginal heritage to make money - they're utterly corrupted.

"... I used to study medicine, I was training to be a doctor. But I couldn't actually afford my rent because it was London, so I had to work in marketing on the side. Then I started to really get into marketing to the point where I actually left medicine ..."

His job could have been saving people's lives, but instead it's persuading them they want stuff. That's heartbreaking.

#MikeWirth's wikipedia entry.
(I note an absence of emphasis on Mike's complicity in high greenhouse gas emmissions. I suspect #ReputationLaundering for profit is in play.)
